A million foam pieces: fantasy city modular board (Feb 4 - first building based)

[Daeothar]

Although stark raving mad, this has a lot of potential. Will you be filling the gaps between the stones with filler?

Not sure at this point. I might use the grout method from RP Archive to fill the gaps. Will do a small test piece in the near future.

Got all the finished and partially finished tiles on the table tonight  - showcased just how much more I need to do

[Aethelwulf]

It looks amazing!

How many bricks do you think you've used?

[Vanvlak]

Wow, that is very enviable stuff! Looks great

I'm truly scared to count. Thousands already

Would this be a good time to remark that the vast majority of villages and towns up to the 19th century, and often beyond, mostly had packed earth roads and streets?

  Oh My G...

What a project !
Year ago I wanted to make such project with a Berlin 45 table, but I made simplier by just painting roads !

Sshhh. This is a fantasy city with both canals and a working sewer system

EDIT: RP Archive said it best:
"D&D takes place is some kind of weird time-warped universe where bronze and iron age tribesmen visit renaissance cities with functioning sewer systems that didn't arrive until the 17th or 18th centuries but cannons don't exist"

Been a long time since I've worked on this (got the 120 day warning when I wrote this, but got back to it this weekend). I did something I've been meaning to do since the beginning - start basing my buildings. I glued my 3D printed building down with a 3/16" foam shim on an open lock tile and then added some of the cobblestones around it. Below shows the building itself (from Dadi Dungeon Salmystia range) and then with a few other tiles around it

Look at that roads and foot paths, fantastic! 

[Daeothar]

Awesome as it looks, I bet the council is going to receive its fair share of complaints about the state of the paving on those sidewalks. They're a veritable deathtrap, sir!

Oh yes, the ADA compliance is not good in this city. Can't imagine what the lawsuits are going to be like

[Burgundavia]

I got a bunch more buildings based today and started in on the road layout and cobblestones on them. I'm going to need to cut a bunch more of the pink foam for the larger cobblestones, but overall I'm happy with how it is shaping up.

All the buildings are Dadi Dungeon - from a variety of sets. The two wood ones are Ferisia and the other two his Salmysita set. The smaller potion shop has on a very odd shaped base deliberately - I wanted to use that L shape to bend the road around it.

This all looks great, but REALLY time consuming!!!
