table top wargaming with miniatures. My needs are more in the line of what I can find on sale or clearance to use for building terrain in 6mm (such as turf, balsa, hobby knives, paints, paper and brushes). Happily I found a few Facebook groups that lend themselves to a huge variety of ideas. I am now using up a stack of old CDs as bases for these excursions into miniature forests, hills, farms and villages.

I am lucky to have a Michaels within walking distance (on a good day, not doing it in the rain or snow). If I make a run across town I have available a couple of hobby shops, JoAnne Fabric, Art Mart and there is a Blicks as well, but I haven't tried them. I have also found that Dollar Tree has a few things that are of help.

I know that doesn't really answer your question about online sources, but the Facebook groups have really made me realize there is so much just looking around the house and at places we normally wouldn't look such as hardware stores and dollar stores.
