Here's my WIP on my sprawl city.
All the buildings are 3d printed from Doctor Merkury's Lab. You can get them off DriveThruRPG. Minis are all from Khurasan.
-
Wow, great work and really gritty. I like the paint scheme on the cops.
-
Lovely terrain and minis!
Very, very impressive!
-
That's excellent.
-
Very visually appealing. The 3d print looks very good.
How difficult/easy is it to get your mitts in that alleyway?
-
Sprawl city...Shadowrun setting ?

All the building levels come off, so it's quite easy to get in there. ;)
Sprawl city...Shadowrun setting ?
I'm playing "Five Parsecs from Home", "Blood in Space", and "Hardwired" for the ruleset. I do use a Shadowrun setting but without the magic. There are strange creatures and AI robots.
-
Very nice set of building terrain!
-
I suppose I can see that the buildings come apart, now that you mention it. I was first envisioning it as a large hollow block rather than stacked layers. So are the interiors playable as well?

They sure are! While I don't have anything in the buildings, as it's needed items will be placed. i.e. bed, table, chair, etc...
I wanted to make a multilevel board. So I figured this is one of the easiest ways to do that.
-
Oh, that is great! I can't wait to see inside the buildings.
-
Very nice! This will be an awesome set up.
-
that is splendid!
-
Excellent stuff. It always amazes me to see how much terrain can be used with 15mm minis as opposed to 28's on the same playing surface.
And the printing lines actually add to the subject matter in this case. The buildings actually look like concrete pre-fabs with them! The gritty paint jobs and use of corrugated materials really drive the atmosphere home. Perhaps the addition of some grafitti and signage can dial it all the way up to eleven? 8)
Can't wait to see what you do with the interiors.
Great work, and the fact that it can be used for such a range of games/settings is of course always a plus :)
-
I was wondering: how large is that playing surface?
-

It's coming. Don't worry. ;) I need to get some printer ink so I can do the signs and a friend of mine has some graffiti decals he's giving me.

That's a 1' square board. That's one of the things I love about 15mm. I can do so much in a small place. And I use whatever ruleset I want. If the rules are for 28mm, I just half the distances and I'm done. I know a lot of people do some whacky conversions, but I don't.
-
That is all I would do; half the distances.
So is the idea to string several of these boards together then? What is the base made out of?
-
It's amazing what you can fit on 30x30cm!
15mm enables much more epic (or condensed) scenery. Great project!
-

I actually have four boards that are being built up. I have another one already done, but need to post the pictures.
The boards are made out of hardboard. Here's a link so you can see it specifically.

Here's some pictures of the next board. The lighting wasn't great. I was playing a game of Five Parsecs From Home with my guys.
-
Sweet!
Really cool terrain!
-
That looks awesome. I'd love to get something like that for Infinity, in 28mm of course. Can you scale up the files to print them larger?
-
Nice. Can't wait for the full group shot. I imagine that will be quite the spectacle in all its tall and claustrophobic cityscape glory!

You can take the STL files and scale them. I'm sure it would be fine. These are the majority of the buildings I'm using:

The red shopping center was from a company that doesn't exist anymore.

That is looking really good, I too can't wait to see it all together.
