House

https://bunkermeister.blogspot.com/2025/04/house.html

Funko Pop Town makes about 41 buildings, and the scales vary wildly. Usually I try and get them in the 15mm to 28mm range and so I have about a dozen of them. Others are mostly too small a scale, or not something I am interested in having.

They are usually from TV shows, movies, or Disneyland related. The buildings are very durable, molded in many colors and usable right from the box.

This house is generic enough that you could several of them and use them together as a housing tract, or repaint them and scatter them around a town and they would not look out of place.

American House

One thing I like about many of these is the sometimes have a detailed back. The American House is very nice, with even a basement stairwell.

All of them have a back, but sometimes it is not much more than a solid wall. They seem to be getting better at detailing all the sides.

Police Helicopter

https://bunkermeister.blogspot.com/2025/04/police-chopper.html

In any wargame that takes place in modern times it is likely that police may be involved, particularly in the opening parts of the action if the action comes as a surprise. Police are often the first to respond to just about any emergency except in fortified border areas.

So I have a reasonable number of police vehicles and I managed to pick up a new set from Matchbox that includes a police helicopter.

Police Cars

https://bunkermeister.blogspot.com/2025/04/police-cars.html

In the USA the police often use the same cars from coast to coast. There are often only one or two vehicles specifically marketed as police cars so their choices are often limited for regular police vehicles. Here are a couple police vehicles by Matchbox and I have several of both.

Police car body styles often don't change much year over year, but the cars themselves often don't last in service for more than a few years. So for miniature purposed you can often keep the same car in service for ten years or more.
