Modular urban board

[endrju94]

Inspired by the ShadowRun 15mm table on Clear Horizon and by the Urban Grounds set by Miniature Scenery, I've started building my own 15mm modular urban table for sci-fi gaming. You can see the first photos on my blog here:

Great looking boards

I hope to see the rest painted soon

Here's my attempt at the same thing (still needs a few extra details - should be adding planters this week)

Your paintwork and general construction (esp the kerbing) look way better than mine :-( It would be great if you could post some work in progress pics as you progress.

Nice work. I like the eco green roof work. It all looks like a great future city scene.

Looks like each floor comes off. Care to tell us how you did it and show pictures of some of them with the floors off? Don't forget close ups too please.

And I just noticed the billboards. Neat.

Hi Lord

The buildings were a lucky find at a car boot sale. The lady that sold them to me (whole lot for £5 and there are a few more than in the photo) said they were some sort of retail display boxes.

I think they are the ones in this link: www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/lot-of-swarovski-1990s-retailer-display-risers-1

Given their original purpose, they were designed to be stackable. The black lids you can see sit snugly between the tops and bottoms of the boxes, joining them together.

They are just sprayed white, shaded and given grass roofing (GW battle mat cut into squares). The windows are strips of acetate, sprayed dark on one side and attached with double sided tape.

After looking them up, I'm worried now that the boxes were worth decent money! Oh well...at least Redemption City is worth fighting a war(game) over

Great looking city! Really like the clean futuristic look...
