Terrain: High Rise Ruins

Looking for some inspiration for my Whirarwistan project I came across this excellent (and cheap) tutorial on constructing bombed out high rise buildings on Doctor Merkury's Lab. Whilst these have been made with the Lebanon in mind they would be perfect for any bombed out cityscape like Liverpool in the 2ECW (and they could be used for other 28mm games such as WWII and 40K).

Terrain: Scenic Items

To supplement the ruins a few other period specific scenic items would help tie the battlefield into what it is supposed to represent. Somewhat fortuitously (especially as I was looking for suitable Victorian looking resin bases for a couple of Holmes and Watson miniatures) I stumbled across Fenris Games who do lots of really interesting stuff including a range of 'Street Furniture' including rubbish skips, phone boxes, road signs, street lamps etc etc. Ordering the bases I wanted I've added a couple of items from the modern range to the order which should prove very useful in setting the scene and adding flavour to any games...
