Title: Ramshackled town.
Post by: Rabbitz on April 01, 2008, 03:34:24 PM

Just thought I would post some pictures of my scratchbuilt ramshackled shanty style buildings I have been using for near future gang warfare.

All just made out of scraps I had left over from other projects.  :)

And the Full table... so far.  
Its just on a grey cloth at the moment.   That will change at some point and the bases of the buildings will be slotted into holes cut into terrain boards simular to my Gothic Horror style terrain boards.  (The difference with these buildings is they are all on the same sized bases so all the holes will be the same size , therefor allowing me to change them around each time.)

It's not big enough. I think you need a few more buildings.  :D

Really stunning work there. That's all just done from the scraps? I'm not sure my ego could take seeing what you do for the real projects.

Thanks for the great pictures.

Rather fitting for a shantytown to be built out of scraps I'd say. Very, very well done sir!  :love:

I wish I could make a shantytown that looked that cool. Out of scraps, no less.

 :lol: Well, add a few rust fridges in the front yard, and I think you're right.

It's beautiful, Rabbitz.

It DOES look like half of the towns in Missouri!  Ok, I am a Kansas guy...we have those towns too...when folks from Missouri move over here!

Damn, I had to go look in my scraps for what might make something like that...if we send you boxes of our scraps what can you make for us?

Cheers for all the comments folks.

Basically my first town (pictured below and unshamelessly stolen from the ideas on Matakishi's website) was based on wood and when we moved to Australia I had to get rid of it all as apparently, so my missis said, we could not import them as they were wood  :(  
So they all had to go.
After much searching it became apparent that 3mm cork floor tiles just dont exist over here for some reason so I had to come up with an alternative style of buildings.

Hence the scrap houses.   Basically foam board off-cuts and bits of card left over from my Gothic Horror style boards and a few other terrain projects i've done since being here.

I am tempted to do a Victorian london street, Weird WW2 warzone (can blame this thought in my mind on PM and Agis :)  )  or Futuristic (all sparkly and new looking) city next.

Anyway my former town was like this and all credit should really go to Matakishi and his awesome insperation developing website.

(Oh the pictures were just taken on a gray cloth hence no road markings and the fact that the wind blew a big air bubble under the sheet without me realising)
