New US Village Gaming Table
« on: March 12, 2017, 11:37:33 PM »
Hey,

this weekend i started to build a new gaming table. My last where at most in british style and now i would have something like american village.
So the design is usable for a zombie epedemic outbreak or a postapocalypse or something like that.

Here an wip picture. Tomorrow i will start to paint the streets, pavements and green the plots.

Very nice, can also work for cold war gone hot, ivasion America, or disatopian fascist government vs rebels style games. I'll let you decided if the invaders are reds or aliens
 
Since it has a small town America almost 1950s/60s style. Check out brigade games in the USA post apocalypse and 1950s style post atomic figs.

Source for the buildings? I assume at least some are Sarissa, etc. if not scratch-built.

E agora seu povo

Very nice!

One question, what did you use for the "pavements", the walkways parts?

Thank you

3mm Depron Board. Thats hardfoam like Styrodur.
Its really practicable. Easy to handle. Be cutted with sharp knife and will be glued with normal wooden glue.

Buildings look like the TT Combat ones, cheap and cheerful, with a fast expanding range.....

right, the buildings for this board are complete ttcombat.

here a small update of the day.
the street was grey ant the plots brown painted (and get an fine turf as blending).

the pavements needs a grey painting, and streets and pavements get the highlight tomorrow.
power poles will follow and some other details like crosswalk and a town sign "welcome to sunnyville"

That's a great look you're going for.  I like the TT Combat buildings, they make a very decent base. Looking forward to watching this progess.

Bowler, that's really a very nice looking table, CONGRATULATIONS! ;)

That pink car is a Sunnyside 1:43 1950 Cadillac, right?
