What is urban scenery?
Urban scenery refers to terrain and basing elements that represent city or industrial environments. These landscapes often include structures such as buildings, streets, concrete surfaces and rubble.

How to use urban scenery for miniatures or scale models
Urban scenery is usually built in layers. A base surface is first created using texture paints, sand or other basing materials to simulate concrete or street textures.
Urban elements such as rubble, street details or ruined structures can then be added. These pieces are often painted and weathered to create realistic urban environments.
What to consider when choosing urban scenery materials
The materials you choose depend on the type of city environment you want to build.
- Ruin elements – for destroyed buildings
