I just got my first armor piece ever (plane addict) and I'd like to drop it in a simple diorama when finished. I'd prefer to purchase something instead of making it myself, but can't find much. Any suggestions on where I should look to find some things? I'm looking for 1/48 scale, and below is a link to a piece I'd LOVE to be able to get my hands on if I could.

Welcome to Armorama. I'm not sure where you would get a ruined church in 1/48 scale but there are a lot of them in 1/35 and some of them might suit. You'd have to be careful to pick one that wouldn't look out of scale- just big beside your tank.
You don't say what the armor kit is?

Another option is to look at Games Workshop or some of the other fantasy wargame sites as some of them might have ruined gothic buildings or churches suitable for 1/48.

By the way you might have got more replies if you titled your post "Where to buy dio accessories in 1/48?"

Hi

The biggest choice of course in the 1/35th scale items but don't despair because I think 1/48th scale in armour subjects will increase.

One company that do quite a few items is this one. You may have to hunt around a little for a supplier in your country if you don't want to deal direct. By the way I found this using Google and I'd always recommend "doing a Google" on anything you want to know about.

Hope it helps
