So I have obviously been out of it for a while now and the gaming world stands still for no one individual, let us see what is now and exciting!
TT Combat is out with a plethora of items...which would be awesome for retro 80's and modern. Starting things off we have the Half Pipe, Music Shop, and Arcade. All of which are perfect for modern combat wargames...even though the music shop and arcade feel dated.

Lets start off with the Half Pipe...
This is comprised of 3mm MDF (aka Hardboard) and 1mm grey board, footprint of width 31.2 cm (12 1/4 inches), depth 16.8 cm (6 1/2 inches), height of 10.3cm (4 inches) and priced at £11.95 (or $14.62 USD). This is an interesting piece of scenery given how it provides limited cover depending on the angle. It certainly is thematic and should look great on your game table.
Next we have the Music Shop...
Next we have the Music Shop...
Plenty of character with this piece of scenery, the music shop has the potential for a great deal of customization with the interior (from KISS posters to vinyl covers for the display racks). It has a footprint of width 16.3 cm (nearly 6 1/2 inches), depth 24.3 cm (9 1/2 inches), height 10.6 cm (4 inches) also priced at £11.95 (or $14.62 USD).
Moving on we have the Arcade...
Moving on we have the Arcade...
Memories of my misspent youth come flooding back...the building has a footprint of 23.5 cm (9 1/4 inches) width, 17.5 cm (6.9 inches) depth and a height of 15 cm (5.9 inches). The three arcade machines are 5 cm (1.9 inches) tall, 3.2 cm (1 1/4 inches) wide and deep. All for a price of £13.95 or $17.30 USD. This building has the potential for lots of great customization where you can add a lot of personal touches to make it stand out.
Wait there is more...

Suburban House A
This is just one of five different Suburban House designs that TT Combat has rolled out and they look amazing...with pricing that is amazing! All of them have a sticker price of £11.95 or $14.93 USD, given their footprint they are incredible deals!!!

With a ranch style layout this building has a detachable carport and looks very easy to assemble.
How would I make this building standout?
Start off with Medium Gray Roof Shingle Paper O Scale (4 sheets of 6 inch x 9 inch for $8.35) from Micro-Mark. Right there that saves me a lot of painting, although I would still go through and weather streak the shingles.
The interior I would spray white, which gives the illusion of a much bigger space and is a very common color.
Masking off the bottom portion of the exterior of the building (as well as the interior) I would spray the upper level with my airbrush with a light blue and then use Random Stone Paper 0 Scale (4 sheets of 6 inch x 9 inch for $8.35) also from Micro-Mark for the bottom level. I would apply that paper prior to gluing on the window frames. Speaking of the window frames, spray separately with the airbrush and the color white.
I would highly encourage you check out these buildings and TT Combat!
