Ah, and ladders would certainly be welcome additions, though I'm not sure about materials. Fragility seems a problem.

Leven make a church rather like that, if you're ok with 1:300 buildings.

Wendy houses!  :D

Thanks for all the replies, I'll pass those onto John.  A lot of those would need to be done in metal though, so are there any more natural/scenery type things people would like?

Hedgerows with different gates, one including a stile would be good

Scruffier hedges.... differing heights in sections with some small gaps or broken areas within the section

Hedgerows with exposed fences within the hedges

Haystacks also gets my vote.

Streams with decent banks. I've had multiple tries at making streams all of which have been crap :( If one could be made with a ford that would be lovely and similarly one that could accommodate the pendraken wooden bridge....

A village pond? With a fountain in it?

Small coppices?

Manure piles?

Patches of gardened ground - like those found on allotments with veg growing.....

Flowerbeds

You did ask :P

Nope. I'll have to check it out when I get home.   :(

Shell holes, say sized between 1 penny and 2 pence pieces.

and 10cm x 10cm fields, some ploughed and some with waist high wheat. Or do them a size that allows them to be mated with your walls and hedges.

Small shell holes (10-30mm diameter in loose clusters) and a couple of bigger ones 30-50mm would be handy as markers & as covering terrain, although they're relatively easy to make!

fred.

Haystacks / hay ricks etc would be handy.
Shell holes too.

With some of the stuff that already exists as individual metal items (such as boxes) it would be handy to have larger piles of them in resin, to act as terrain. Whereas the metal ones are more useful to add to vehicles or bases to give a bit of character.

Good evening!!
an idea not very cheerful, but that would be very helpful with the walls for example,
- tombs to cemetery
- A small chapel
- a well
- A watering hole
- A city fountain
- Barriers of different types
- High hedges like Norman Boccage
- Rubble elements to put against a ruined house
- The stack of cut wood or tree trunk for our forests

surely more to come for ideas ......

Cut wood stacks already exist, produced last year to help reproduce the Swiepwald battle of 1866, and they are beautiful!

Maybe Leon could stock a couple of these?:








They are from ironclad and work just great for 10 mm. Labeled as 'small craters'/ They have big craters too, but didn't get those.

Resin cactus would be good. Both the giant Arizona types and prickly pear.
