Looking for miniatures to create port facilities suitable of War at Sea. So far other than the airfield and the naval port on Shapeways I have found nothing suitable. Does anyone here know of a company that makes anything like this? Thanks in advance.

Might be a good start for a kitbashed port: www.shapeways.com/shops/mom?section=1%2F1800+Ships&s=0

EBard on shapeways has some stuff for the classic Axis and Allies game that could be grouped together to create port. A few items below, but there are several more on his page:

If you're looking for something really huge (there are even MUCH larger versions on this guy's Shapeway's page)...

Dang, Bill charges high.

In his defense on that base, it is 8.09 x 11.36 inches, way bigger than a typical War at Sea square. I agree, its outside of what I'd be willing to spend, but at least its big. The smaller one at 4.87 x 7.13 inches in $48, which is still a lot, but a little bit closer to something usable on a W@S map. I haven't contacted him, but I wonder what a 3x3 or 4x4 inch version would cost.
