They create the environments where miniatures interact and help transform a gaming table or display into a realistic landscape. In this category at Scenery Workshop you will find a range of scenery buildings suitable for wargaming, terrain building and modelling projects.
What are scenery buildings?
Scenery buildings are miniature structures representing cities, villages, ruins or industrial complexes in scale. They are used to make gaming tables and dioramas visually interesting and provide a clear environment for miniatures.
Many buildings are made from resin, plastic, MDF or other modelling materials. Some models come fully sculpted with details such as windows, doors and roof textures, while others are supplied as kits that hobbyists assemble and paint themselves.
At Scenery Workshop scenery buildings are commonly used by wargamers, miniature painters and scale modellers who want to expand their gaming tables or dioramas with realistic structures.

How to use scenery buildings for miniatures or scale models
Scenery buildings are typically placed on a gaming board, terrain mat or diorama base. Some buildings can be used immediately, while others require assembly and painting.
Combining buildings with terrain elements such as roads, vegetation and rubble helps create a complete miniature environment. Many hobbyists paint buildings and apply weathering techniques to achieve a realistic aged appearance.
