Only buildings here that might work would be possibly Playmobile (lot of customizing required), maybe sylvanian families (Pricy and doors likely underscale) or the Chap Mei Police Station. Think you're largely out of luck on that one for ready made stuff.

The only thing I can suggest is to check around souvenir stores for possible buildings that might work and hardware stores for shelves, containers, boxes that could easily be transformed into buildings.

Don't be too discouraged from building your own stuff, plenty of tips from guys here on how tos

Thanks.yeah rather gruesome but that's the beauty of it.
The CG happens to be one that i bought loose, sans helmet and accesories and I was gonna dump him inside my discarded box.Watched The Walking Dead pilot few days ago and I remembered about getting a zombie custom done.
Hence ,complete zombified CG is born. 

For dios ,it's best to DIY .It can be cheaper ,depending on what material you'll be using but it'll probably be time consuming, again depending on the scale and complexity of the dio.
Like dzirhan suggested, you can mostly find what you need from hardware stores and also from stationery shops.

Maybe some of the items/equipments/accessories u can buy separately… but as a base dio, it’s better to do it ourselves. just need to plan properly & spend some time in doing it la. do a lil bit of sketching just to get the idea of how the diorama would look like when it’s done, how detail would it be… U can always buy raw materials from stationary shops. I think a friend of mine (interior architect) used to buy stuff from there to create model of houses, buildings & landscapes for housing projects in KL…

Lol… am thinking of doing a diorama for myself, but got no time meh. Even weekend also got other plans~

you gave me some ideas, thanks!
still, custom make needs a lot of time and effort.
and the end result might not be sturdy enough for me to play.
Cant wait to see your next custom zombie.
I will check out some hardware storez soon, currently i plan to buy styrofoam, cement, and collect some sands and rocks.
wish me success with building a city ruins.
good idea about the sketching part. my plan is a city ruins with a few joes fighting an army of cobras. cant afford the time though, might start after chinese new year holiday.

TRU is raising the price of quick kick and spirit to RM41.90 WTF??

SHIPWRECK & CARL DOC GREER marking down to RM19.90.

a city ruins is kinda huge project .i assume you'll also be making roads ?
i believe it'll turn out awesome..

will start on zombie real soon coz i have to finish up on another delayed custom first.

not really a huge one. planning a size of 1ft wide, 2ft long with several bombed out buildings.
perhaps I should copy the Hasbro diorama for POC, shouldn't be that difficult right?

are we going to get wave 3 and 4 together?
wishlist

1x snake eyes,
20 or more shock troopers
5 or more destro
1x shadow tracker
1x low light.

and also a blackhiss tank. dont think we have the black version yet.

Come on, bro… an army of zombies pls Hmmm quick kick & spirit knife was seen as rm49.90 at TRU KLCC…. Wth???
Hahaha… u got me there, bro. was thinking to do the same dio too… with some ruins, cracked roads. Yeah2, the one Hasbro used to have (for the City Strike theme) is definitely a good example…

20 Shock troopers? Where to find that many meh…

lol, even more expensive in KLCC
the price i checked was TRU one utama.

hey, faster make one diorama scene. maybe i can learn from you.

shock troopers should be easier to get, no?
though wave 2 seems to be quite scarce also. is the jungle viper still available in KLCC Isetan?

an army of zombies?that's gonna take me a while ,probably a couple of months or so for 10-15 of them.
so we got here a couple of city dio-mizers.. do show us your masterpiece once it's done ,kerberos and cranx.

wave 3 assortment contains 3 STs per case ,and if you are an active scouter, 20 or more should be relatively easy to score.

i dont see what the hype on ST is all about.he's just another variation of SWAT /SDU.i would trade the riot shield for more accesories ,ie more pouches on the vest, pistol holster ,removable flash grenades,crowbar etc.

how about yourself? I see great customizing skills there with your zombie. a small diorama scene from you could be awesome looking.

strange enough, the main reason I like storm trooper is the shield, i love modern / sci-fi trooper with shields.
if only the uniform colour is black with some red highlights, less SWAT like. I will go crazy and build an army of 50..

i have a dio in the making, small scale portable ,Cobra stuff.should be done soon.
i dont have storage space hence prevents me from creating larger scale dios.

it's easy to solve the ST color scheme.grab a bottle of black /matte black paint and you're all set.
myself, i'm gonna turn those ST into SWATs.God knows the Joes need more troopers.
and Shockwave /Shockblast will lead the SWATs.

Lol must find one solid day to focus on doing so. But until now, still can’t manage to find the time eh, sure meh easier to find, here in kl I was told isetan won’t be bringing in joes anymore… sob2. No more JV in kLCC, only destroy, duke, snowjob, zartan & dusty..
Hohoh… true2. Cobras already hv AVs& STs for troop builds, but the joes? Uh-oh, the joe’s outnumbered

Look at this Tanker's work.Using soft goods material ,hand sewn too!
Guy's got the skills and patience to produce 150 of these Cobra cannon fodder troopers.

cant wait to see your diorama!

those matte black paint count stand up to frequent play/posing? do I need to use some sealant to 'seal' the paint?
sorry I am complete noob interms of custom.
oh no...! getting difficult to find gijoes. maybe i will not be able to get a desirable number of shock troopers then.
looks like fabric clothing for all these troopers! a lot of time and patience needed. omg!

mine detector/clearing machine for the alley vipers.

TRU only has Spirit and Quick Kick as they are TRU exclusives and they chose not to take anything else. Isetan is only dept store with selection of POC figures though troopbuilders and certain figures are all gone. Same with specialty shops though some might still have a full case available for sale/
