I've made a Paper model Mansion, put in some trees and stone fences.
Setup aren't meant for gaming, just to see how "fake" the paper model would look.

Quite top quality project. Excellent.

Btw, I really like tables with railway, a great touch and pretty useful for all sorts of scenarios.

Is that "S" scale track and rolling stock? the only "O" scale track I can find is the 3 rail from Lionel.

Hi Cultist #3,

The track is Peco 0 16.5 (o gauge narrow gauge) and the rolling stock is a rather natty Boulder Valley Models stock car. BVM stuff can be found here -

Those are some excellent tables gents!  I happen to be at the mid-point of construction on my own SA table (my second) - complete with a section of railway too.  I finished the structural part of the build yesterday and I have just laid down the first layer of paint, sand and glue.  Thanks for some great inspiration.  The stars are right...

Nice work

How did you paving roads?

That looks like a textured wallpaper that I have been looking at at the DIY store (Lowes or Home Depot for me), it is unpainted wallpaper that has a texture to it. I always thought it would make a great brick or rock style cover to a table.

I would like to know what you used for the base. Wood? Foamboard? Some combo? As I said before, is that textured wallpaper?

I'm sorry I didn't even check this thread!  It is the LeMax cobbelstone mat.  It's 18 by 36 inches and dark brown in color.  It paints up nicely especially with drybrushing but you have to seal the finished work with clearcoat or the paint will flake off.  It's a lot of work but looks really cool when you're finished.  Check out my flickr account, there are more pictures there.
