the trees are all removable and the buildings are made from mdf, foamcard, expanded polystyrene packing and plywood.
i also used some of those square end plastic bits from easy model ready made tanks as well as lots of odds and ends from the spares box as well as some kids toy bits like the girders on the half made building and the roadways on the multi story car park.
many more pics and some of the buildings before finishing here:-

:o I am at a loss for words. Very impressive.
-
Absolutely beautiful. Now with some vehicles and/or miniatures in the mix ;)
-
Amazing. Its as if it were a photo of an actual city block.
So, what are you going to play on it and with what minis?
-
Amazing beyond any measure. :o

Very nice Shaun. Still, I have this nagging feeling that some poor child has had bits of his Hotwheels track set purloined.

thanks for the comments guys,
we plan to use it for our african games, spilling out form the bush wars, middle east urban games like lebanon and with different trees our cold war games as well.
we have so mucm modern models we can do almost anything.
i would also like to point out no kids were deprived of their toys as my grandson will testify!
when i buy him something suitable i buy 2 of them, one for him and one for me lol
will post more pics of a game in progress soon.

Absolutely superb! :-*

The reason I asked is that I have tons of 1920-1930's terrain, with which to play Strange Aeons, Pulp Alley, and .45 Adventure, and I have Middle Eastern terrain to play the same games, but the Middle Eastern would be good for military games as well and I'm simply not familiar with any modern military games. Someone who makes a table as superb as yours HAS to have some recommendations. ;)

well as far as rules go we use a set devised by me and playtested by the rest of the club.
they are quick, simple and give a good game.
they are best suited to irregulars v regular troops with lots of cover and small light vehicles with guns on.
of course i supply most of the vehicles and figs from the S&S models postwar ranges.
if you would like a list just email me
