Looking for 28mm Maps
« on: 01 March 2017, 01:16:24 PM »
I am looking to start running a 7TV game and/or an old Top Secret rpg game. I am looking for some good resources for 28mm mini maps that I can use for this. It doesn't matter if the maps are have a grid or not. I am just trying to find some office buildings, streets, warehouses, apartments, factories, docks, etc. Here is an idea of the type of items I am looking for:
http://icv2.com/gallery/33636/1 These are neoprene Heroclix maps. I have the office building one that is shown, but I could use other sources. My search fu is not that great (low dexterity) so I have not had much luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you want maps that are already printed? If you can print them yourself, or have a place that can do so, there are loads of resources.

There are dozens of fan-made maps for the Star Wars miniatures game, some will probably fit the 7TV universe.

I would prefer already printed maps. My printer is not the best and there is not a print shop close by that I am aware of. Neoprene, similar to the Pathfinder flip mats or similar to the D&D dungeon tiles would be ideal. Something that I can lay down for a location when role playing in an urban environment or for a quick game of 7TV. I have desert, woodland, and snowy neoprene maps with some terrain for skirmish gaming. I just don't have anything that would fit these needs. The Heroclix maps have been the only items that I have found close that don't require me to print the maps myself.

I should also note that I am not opposed to 3D terrain, but I would want buildings to be accessible. I am not familiar with MDF though. My main source of 3D terrain is some Plast Craft Colored Desert Buildings and Dwarven Forge. I think 3D would be cool, but the thought of trying to fully furnish the interior of an office, warehouse, or hotel would be an enormous undertaking. This is why I was looking for 2D maps that already include furniture and the like. I appreciate any help.

Does anyone make use of these http://wargamesbuildings.co.uk/epages/950003459.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/950003459/Categories/TerraBlocks/TerraBlock_Urban_Blocks
I was wondering how well they would do for urban spy skirmish/role playing? I think they look pretty good, but living in the U.S. I would have to commit to a large order to make it worth the time and shipping. Thoughts? Are they durable? Will the street pieces hold up to being moved around and stored? Or would I be better off with items from Sarissa Precision? Or the Plasticville model train type buildings? I do have a few of the Dust Tactics tenement buildings, but they do not have interiors so they could mainly be used for street interactions.
