Now that I know how to work this I thought I would post some pics of a setting I am working on for .45 adventures. It is supposed to be a Bazaar at a dock side. What do you think?

Looking good so far.
How did you do the striped archways ?
-
That's excellent. I love the added touch of the storm drain. If used as part of a series of games, you could create an underground sewer board as part of it.
-
Looking great so far. :)
-
Nice!
-
I used a rather long winded way of making the arches. I drew the shape I want on a thin piece of card. Cut it out. Scanned it into my computer. Used paint to copy it six times, them printed that out on the thickest card my printer could handle. Then cut those out and used them for templates on a piece of foam board. Cut out the arch shape in the foam board. Glued on the card arches around the cut outs in the foam board and used polyfiller to tidy it up. I painted the black and white stripes after dry brushing the rest of the walls.
Told you long winded!

Arch templates

Closer view before painting.
Used similar process to make the doors and windows of the house in the back ground.
-
It sounds promising. Keep on!
My only reservation is that usually the markets in Middle East are in small streets full of everything (people, animals, goods, street vendors, shops, beggars, kids, magicians, street shops the list goes on)
Very good work on the arches, thanks on the templates.
[In painting: usually in ME there is no black, I suggest to change it to blue.
If you like it do it, if not make it whatever colour you like]
-
I really like what the direction your project is taking 8), but I have a small request... could you use slightly larger pictures? lol
-
Amazing board. Lots of atmosphere here. Can't wait for a battle report... ;)

In Old Cairo, Damascus and Aleppo you see plenty of black/white stone striping like this - it was a particularly popular Ottoman style during in the 17th/18th centuries... Sorry to be pedantic!

Done some more work on the Bazaar setting. Reading some of the comments I have change the layout of the board to make it busier. I am adding a lot of small stalls up either side of a narrow stepped street. But first I have added the second floor to the main Bazaar, along with the roof and a staircase up to a balcony.

One more picture below. I am looking for ideas for the inside of the main bazaar. Iwas thinking of splitting it up into smaller shops. What do you think?
(http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/gamerMac/DCP_1206.jpg)
-
Actually why not leave it as a market hall? Lots of peddlers with their small stalls in the hall plus loads of people buying and looking.
-
Wow. That board is brilliant. I can't wait to see the finished product. If you need somewhere to store it, I have a wargames room that it would fit into!;)

No its OK I still have some space left in my garrage. Sorry should call that my wargames room. In the eight years I have been in this house the car has never seen the inside of the garage. The previous owner, kindly, had left two off 8' x 2' floor boards which I soon made into a wargames table. So the garrage for the car was history.

I was thinking of maybe splitting it up in to four small shops. Maybe modular construction so that I could change the interior layout. The peddlers with their small stalls are going to go out on the street. See pic below for my idea. Each of the small modules would be a box with everything built inside.
(http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/gamerMac/Interior.jpg)
Ideas for the modules so far are -
Book shop
Tailors
Barbers
Trying to think of other shops that would be useful in pulp games
-
Antiquities. You have to have a place to hide the small statuette with the secret compartment, containing the 13th clue to the mystery... or the Scarab of Doom... ;)
-
Now that looks much better, like the way you did the arches.

Yes, that's a cool idea.
More shops? Well, one of those that sell odds and ends (like djinni lamps etc.)
Or a spice merchant. How about a trader of live animals? Cages full of chicken just witing to explode in a cloud of feathers...

Or the obligatory camel seller, or the basket seller with piles of wicker baskets where ladies hide ala Raiders of the Lost Ark.
-
The carpet seller
The goldsmith and or jeweller
the chap who dyes cloth
the silk merchant
a few wandering water sellers, cut purses, entertainers etc.

Your work is getting better and better.
I can't wait to see it ...
In the meantime I found the following link and I was impressed. I think it is helpful for some inspiration :

That is some impressive terrain, wonderful stuff :)
-
:-* :o :-* ;D
can´t wait to see all ready to game .
-
Awesome stuff. It definitely needs plenty of shop stalls.
The Malevolent Mummy stuff's pretty sweet too, but what's with all the mounties? 0.o
-
And lots of food vendors, selling things common to things you don't really want to know about!
You can get racks of ribs from the Kroot by GW.

mounties= Royal Cairo Metropolitan Police [that is how alex explained it]

Oh, I thought their uniform was khaki coloured or something(or am I thinking of some British soldiers).

Done some more work on my setting.
I am thinking about adding a name to the Bazaar. I am not sure if it is OK to use this?
(http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/gamerMac/DCP_1236-1.jpg)
Would anybody mind if I used the name?
Started adding some shops.

http:/i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/gamerMac/DCP_1220.jpg[/img]
A kabab shop. A must in any town!
(http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/gamerMac/DCP_1224.jpg)
Plus interior
(http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/gamerMac/DCP_1233.jpg)
The entrance to the Bazaar.
(http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/gamerMac/DCP_1225.jpg)
and finally some street furniture WIP
(http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/gamerMac/DCP_1235.jpg)
Next is to finish the roofs and all the shop fronts and interiors and then fill them out with goods to sell.
-
haha brilliant. i really like this. and i think the name would be fine. + the kebab shop. classic lol
-
This project looks awesome! Mind if I steal some of your ideas for my Conan bazaar scene? I hadn't thought of having lots of small booths like that.
-
That is one awesome setup!
You're doing a great job and I'm totally fascinated watching you progress.
Keep it up.
-
Excellent bazaar! I really like how it's turning out.
-
Looking better and better, I love it. It will I am sure look great from every angle. Can't wait to see more photos as it develops :)
-
Done some more work on the bazaar setting.
First picture is of the Bazaar street.

Done some more work on the main bazaar building. Added some window shutters and some door. Again my photography has let me down not great pictures.

Very nice, good job.
It is getting even better!
-
That's looking really swish! A nice little package with all the buildings together. Can't wait to see it complete!
-
I want it! That is looking great. I can see the potential for so many great adventures taking place on it.
-
This is the kind of board that makes me wish I was 28mm tall so I could go explore it. All those nooks and crannies begging to be investigated :D
-
very nice!!!
-
Excellent. That'll make plenty of great scenarios with. Plenty of places for baddies to hide in.
-

I like it very much!

This scenery is awesome! Makes me tempted to do my own (and watch Raiders of the lost Ark)!
-
At short notice I had the opportunity to run a small game. Since starting this project I have been dying to see how my idea would work in a game. So even though the scenery and figures were not finished we had a trial run of the set up.
(http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/gamerMac/SDC10058.jpg)
First thing I noticed is that the base is too small to leave sufficient room for vehicles.

Whole board
(http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/gamerMac/SDC10082.jpg)
And even though I spent loads of time building streets the players wanted to use the roofs.

Picture of the Nazis closing in on the hideout, house with the balcony.
As I said this was just a trial but overall the setting worked well with loads of places to hide. Still got a lot of work to do to finish it off.
