Title: Building, pavement and cars for a small town (mafia 1920')
Post by: Figouze on February 17, 2012, 01:09:11 PM: I'm looking for buidings for stories in 1920's : mafia storyline in Chicago.

Do you have any provider for this kind of building in 28 mm (painted if possible) or yours scratchbuilds ?

Those were definitely the ones, i´d go for. I´ve seen the review at quirkworthy and they look superb.

Ancient Warfare / Wargames Soldiers & Strategy had a small demo table at the crisis in antwerpen with a couple of those, looked great.

For the pavement and roads, do you know what to use ?

Black painted bases with Ainsty pavements and Old Glory buildings that slot in.

Post by: Figouze on February 20, 2012, 02:36:26 PM: Thank you.

I don't find Ainsty pavements.
the website seems down.

Do you have any other manufacturer.

Any ideas also for cars ?

Post by: Oldben1 on February 21, 2012, 03:38:23 AM: I use Lionel and Plasticville for my buildings. You can get most of them for under $20.00, and they are easy to paint. I use a LeMax cobbelstone mat for the road and painted matting for the sidewalk. I've also used grey linilium for the road as well. You can get some pretty good deal for cars on e-bay. Lledo ,or Matchbox yesteryear are good bets. Don't ask me about scale comparison. I've bought a lot at flea markets. Check out my photo site, or PM me.

this is for free but I think is not the right scale.

We use a mixture of Matchbox, Lledo, and some metal:

Post by: Oldben1 on February 27, 2012, 03:15:09 PM: First of all, that is the coolest collection of pulp cars I've ever seen!

Marianas, just be aware that the mat soaks up paint, even heavy duty primer. I also found that after drybrushing(which you should do very slowly to raise the detail) you've got seal in with clear coat. nI used the liquid stuff because I found it seal better. You could spray it with a dullcoat after.

Post by: Burgundavia on February 28, 2012, 05:11:13 AM: That is about half of our motor pool, which totals nearly 30 cars at this moment (although about half are still on my painting table). The Lledos came from an ebay store, total cost about $20-25 CAD for the whole set.
