Does anyone know if there are any 1/35 individual concrete blocks available in the market.
I mean modern blocks like breeze/ cinder blocks

I want to build some walls/ buildings out of individual blocks so I can show the walls destroyed or damaged.

I think the best way would be to cast heaps of these in plaster and build a "real" wall but maybe someone has already done this and can save me a heap of time

cheers

There is a company called HANSA SYSTEMS ther web site www.hanasystemsusa.com. You can see all their products. The only way to order is by fax, phone, or mail. I have used thier products before and they are very realistic looking and are easy to use.

Thanks guys for the advice.
The Hansa blocks look good but I really want some plaster blocks to replicate the broken wall section better.
I might buy some of the hansa blocks, put some rubber over them and cast some off in plaster



@seb- good work on the stryker dio. Some good original ideas here

cheers

While the Hansa sets look nice, they also look to Lego-ish.
Verlinden and Dioramics Plus may have what you need. Michigan Toy Soldier Company also have dio blocks available.
