Aug 08, 2012 19:43:44 I'm looking for cheap scenery to fill my dungeons and my cities if anyone has any suggestions and tips on finding stuff please tell me. By the way the last hobbyshop near me closed a few months ago so thats out of the question.

Aug 09, 2012 13:08:41 Yeah, Legos are frickin' sweet. They just don't have that epic Doh smell, though. Man, that stuff smells awesome.

You could also look into printable paper models, like these www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fpm/ar...
I've used the woodsman's hut and one of the houses, they're great (though the ruined hut comes without a bottom, so it's good to have a 4x4 tile piece printed out as well; the model aligns with the squares perfectly).

Furniture is pretty easy to make at that scale - a hobby knife, some balsa wood, popsicle sticks and toothpicks can build you some righteous scenery with a little glue and a cheap set of craft paints from the dollar store.

Or you can use Sculpey modeling clay, or what the pros use to sculpt miniatures - Green Stuff/Procreate/Milliput... Using greenstuff to make large set pieces is ridiculously epensive, but if you build the basic shape of the item out of wood/plastic/cardboard/whatever and then cover it in a thin film of greenstuff just thick enough to sculpt some details onto it's not too bad.

Check out the craft articles on Cool Mini Or Not and the Reaper Miniatures forums for some ideas.
