I'm looking for some different things to add to my models. Things,like, coolers, luggage, chain saws, bottles, camcamping gear,etc.

Does anyone know of a vendor that has any of this stuff? My searches are coming up empty.

I've seen plenty of that kind of stuff in the section of the craft stores that sells doll house stuff. Miniature cans, bottles, etc. But if you go to the resin 3d printed truck and car section on this boars there are lots of links.

Try eBay “Doll House Miniatures”  or “G Scale Miniatures”  or “G Scale Buildings” or “Chimneyville” and “75 mm Figures” maybe “Scenes Unlimited” for a start.  Then follow wherever those searches cross reference to should get you pretty closets what you’re after.

Thank you. I have tried Shapways, but there search function is really bad. I found everything but what I wanted. 

I agree, it often takes a lot of time to find things you actually are looking for on Shapeways.

I still do not understand why they can’t build a better way of searching for items. Ironic, in a way. They represent the latest in manufacturing technology. Yet, creating a way to simply find what you want to buy…escapes them. 

The best luck I’ve had is finding a somewhat related hobby item, and then visiting that designer’s Shapeways store, to see if they have other interesting items.

I often wonder why Shapeways can't provide a simple key word search function.  The other annoying thing is that you can search by scale but the picklist doesn't include 1:24 or 1:25.

regarding Shapeways, I've had better luck using this type of search criteria "site: shapeways.com 1/25 intake manifold" where I start the search with the site: shapeways.com then add the scale and the item description.  It is not perfect, but better than their search feature
