im more interested in electro-magnetic projectile weaponry and Chemical bombs(chlorine, etc...), i made a railgun once, a paper tube with 2m of bell wire wrapped around it and taped up(whole assembly was about 6in long), put an old rusty nail in, aimed it at a brick at point blank range, and hooked the power wires up to my dads unused 12V motorcycle battery.
Lets just say i was glad i put the nail in the right end.
the tube superheated and i couldnt hold it, and it drained about 30% of the battery power.
If you wanted to make toy wars you could go for LEGO, or mouldable plastic, even play-dough! but once holographics becomes commonplace, you wont need it. my advice: use a 3-D modelling program and animate them so you can ACTUALLY see them in action.
as for toy soldier wars, i can reccomend the Warhammer tabletop strategy game, played it once, i can understand why these people spend days on end painting these things.
Apart from that, i dont really have much advice apart from playing an RTS game like starcraft of Age of Mythology...
