SanVal has a large selection of G stuff including most Aristo built up buildings and Piko kits. They are on Valjean (sp?) just east of the Van Nuys airport. Their prices are very competitive. St Aubins is another, two locations and they do mail order. I'd call the Las Vegas store and save some on tax and shipping. HTH.

The type of structures you are looking for depends on what you are modeling. Always keep your scale eye with you wherever you travel. You may find things in a Joann ETC, or a Michael's or Lowe's or home Depot or Wal-Mart or an ACE Hardware. Many of these places sell bird feeders that are really close in size to what I model and definately fall well within the parameters of the 10 foot rule.
don't forget to check the model car section of your local department stores for vehicles.
