I just started building and I have a few questions. Where can I get Brick work and door,window designs my buildings.Also what sizes should be used for hindering terrain (air conditioning units and small shacks on the marvel map) and the blocking terrain (chimney On marvel map) .

For brick work (and doors, windows, etc.), you should be able to find some nice textures on the net, and just scale and print.

There doesn't seem to be a standard scale in HC, but 1/4 scale seems to fit nice (1" = 4'). I've built a couple buildings and objects, and used the 1/4 scale as a guideline, and "eyeballed" it from there.

Here's a little bit of one map I built

For brick work I found mine in a hobby / craft shop they have sheet of paper full of it that people use for doll houses. Quite cheap too. I've also heard that a cube of 4 x 2 Lego bricks work well for chimneys and they perfectly fill a square.

Hopes this helps!

This site has some really nice textures:

for anything else, like doors, windows, dumpsters, etc... just check out google. It doesn't have to be 200 dpi, but you can res things up in photoshop and clean it up nicely.

Great site Berner thanks! The last thing I'd expect is a texture website from Malaysia. ;)
