Cheers all.

You might just get away with 1/12 scale bricks, I am sure it would work ok.
For sand bags and/or the large 1 ton sacks, I am pretty sure you could make them pretty easily at home. Get an old white shirt, a thin one and cut some rectangles out, roughly the size you want and sew two pieces together around 3 sides. Fill with Silicone sand, it's nice and fine. Silicone sand is what they use as bedding on top of the hardcore before putting down cobble locking driveways, allows the cobbles to settle level. They then sweep a few bags of it over the drive way, it's so fine, it will work it's way down the gaps to tighten it all together. You could then leave the tops open and sit some open bags on a pallet with some straps around them all, or sew up the opening and pile them on the flat onto a pallet and strap them to the pallet over the top.
Just some ideas....
