It DOES look like half of the towns in Missouri!  Ok, I am a Kansas guy...we have those towns too...when folks from Missouri move over here!

Damn, I had to go look in my scraps for what might make something like that...if we send you boxes of our scraps what can you make for us?

Cheers for all the comments folks.

Basically my first town (pictured below and unshamelessly stolen from the ideas on Matakishi's website) was based on wood and when we moved to Australia I had to get rid of it all as apparently, so my missis said, we could not import them as they were wood  :(  
So they all had to go.
After much searching it became apparent that 3mm cork floor tiles just dont exist over here for some reason so I had to come up with an alternative style of buildings.

Hence the scrap houses.   Basically foam board off-cuts and bits of card left over from my Gothic Horror style boards and a few other terrain projects i've done since being here.

I am tempted to do a Victorian london street, Weird WW2 warzone (can blame this thought in my mind on PM and Agis :)  )  or Futuristic (all sparkly and new looking) city next.

Anyway my former town was like this and all credit should really go to Matakishi and his awesome insperation developing website.

(Oh the pictures were just taken on a gray cloth hence no road markings and the fact that the wind blew a big air bubble under the sheet without me realising)
