Damo,
The problem is, I've recently come into possession of a *lot* of
assembled
and painted HO scale buildings. So I'm not as much looking for terrain
as I
am for figures to go with the terrain that I already have. Everything
is in
a modern/dirty/industrial style and would be perfect for near-future
gaming
if I can find the right scale of figures.
