WWII Layout
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 12:46 PM
I am making a WWII layout featuring a battle over Germany. I need any and all tips I can get about making a good military layout. I am using 1/72 scale, about. I need ideas for what to use as ground, how best to give the appearence of a battle scene, and just any general ideas for my layout.

Elyk,
You might want to view this Web site:

Also, although it's obviously the wrong era, you might want to join the Yahoo! Civil War forum:

Hope this helps.

Wal-mart has quite a bit of military type toys in HO scale some on sale for $w2.50 each. Not sure whether it is period of WWII but it is worth looking. I'm in N scale so other than the new German and American WWII tanks they have nothing in N.
