You said in your blog that you where thinking of ideas to make the town more modern. Add a petrol station, a few modern cars and bikes scattered about along with a few modern trash cans.
A few road signs, street lamps, maybe an old pay telephone and some news paper or cigarette dispersers near the bus stop. Add a bus stop.
For buildings add a bakery, Apothecary, and a bar or café might not be too far off. This should actually be easier then you think. Just add a sign to a building that looks like it would fit the bill.
For the Café or bar just add some out door tables and chars with umbrellas in them. Finally suggestion or idea.

I love how they look, the problem I have run into is that it's hard to get a hold of less than a huge amount of them. I've tried asking for samples, but all the big stores by me do not do samples.

Yeah, the pack we used had 36 shingles ... but it also only cost $25 :-)

All great suggestions --- and things I'll be looking to add.  I've started ordering various bits and scatter terrain to add.  I've found it really hard to find 1:50th scale civilian cars ...

I've got a 4x8 tables worth of Crescent Root Mid-east buildings that are due to be shipped on 6/15. After seeing these pictures of the European buildings, I'm even more excited.
I've currently got the Plast Craft EWAR colored buildings for my European based games, but I may have to be adding some Cresent Root.

Excellent, I love the Crescent Root buildings.  I have a 4' x 4' setup for my middle east stuff ... but have enough to do 4x6 ... just need to finish my larger basecloth:

I have been lucky at finding decent Dye Cast cars at the CVS and Walgreens for about 1-5 dollars a peace. Also at the local Vons and Albertsons. That is where I picked up most of my modern civ cars. They are not all Exactly 1/50 but, they are close enough for government work.

Yeah those are the KinSmart ones I believe, they work well.

I had a chance to play in a WWII game last weekend.
The buildings used in the game were Crescent Root.
They were very nice.
Made the table look great.

Oh excellent, would not have thought to look there ... thanks!!

Stunning stuff. Shame the Crescent root stuff costs $1,000,000 to ship to the UK
