Good jop on those crates, mate :)

So if you have a lot of cluttering line of sight blockers, will this mean that all houses will have a full interior? ;)

Nicely done, very similar to what I have done.
I used ladders in my last game which where used by a figure hiding in a bell tower, a good vantage point unfortunately the bank robbers legged it in the other direction.

Gorgeous stuff as always.  I'm about to place another order with Ainsty (or Recreation Conflict) for some more stuff to use for other games.  I can't get enough of their boxes/crates etc.  Heck I think I even have some hiding in a box somewhere.

Cheers, mate.
Go ahead....as I do knick all your good ideas and claim them as my own.
 :D

The main reason for these tall piles is to encourage the chaps onto the rooftops as an extra dimension in the game.
I do have plans for some interiors but that may well be a 'Stage 2' in the development of the Creek.
Not sure if I will get time to do that before BLAM......

Another good rason to leave out the interiors until I can be bothered: The bastards probably wouldnt want to go into THOSE buildings would they?
No!
The ones without interiors..... I have no doubt that they would be the ones that they wanted to explore inside of, though.
 ;)

They are great.
Like I said earlier: I do have more, but they will be added to some of the actual baseboards of the buildings for effect.

I tend to agree re not using the interiors , particularly for larger games. You go to all the effort of making a good looking town , and then you proceed to take the roofs off...making it look like a massive storm has just hit!

I do have some floor plans made up for a few key buildings.. The bank etc so if really need to go inside then I can

Same here.   We use simple but brutal rules to work out the outcome of battles within buildings....but 99% of our action is outside.   I prefer lots of balconies, roof tops, alleyways etc for my gunfights.   Had I gone the lasercut route, it may have been different....but I agree about the tornado strike comment....just goes against my sensibilities!


I love the Brian's Mum figure! Lol.  Whoever stacked them boxes is a "very naughty boy!"

It seems that we all agree, chaps.
You spend long enough making the town look right with the roofs on.

The other thing with interiors is people forget that figures are inside them, which can be annoying as the fella being shot at by a bloke ina building would not... ;)

Glad you caught on to that one, Digits.
According to Brian's Mum, everyone in Upsheet Creek is a very naughty boy.
Especially the women!

I really appreciate the liberal use of theft in lead adventure, helps being people together.

Town is looking great  mason, love the conveniently placed clutter.

As my art teacher pointed out, it's not theft, but appropriation.

That is why we are all on here, lets be honest, chaps!

It is very generic indeed, you are spot on with that.
It will be used in plentyu of different situations, have no fear of that.

As for The Shed: One of those smaller piles is destined to be stuck to Hardware Store base, along with loads of other stuff left outside and also stuck to the walls.
I just need to find the time...... ::)

Poor Mason has no time for the fiddly stuff right now, he's busy laying track for the town. And doesn't have an evil clone to do Pilates and building projects.  >:D

Nice boxes.

Cheers
