Boshin war display game help

[olyreed]

I am now starting to think about what I need for the town part of the gaming board, I like the idea of how jim bibbly does his buildings, by placing them on boards, so i need suggestions as to what to use for boards, so any help would be gratefully received. also ideas for layout, I have mentioned in the past about having the edge of the town at the short end of a 6 x 4 board coming in about 18" but am quite flexible to that idea if anyone has a better suggestion
Also, if I decided to go down the route of making some boards, whats the best stuff to use for this and are there any good tutorials out there.

Lots of questions, but starting to get fired up again for this project and would like to get my teeth into it again

Get a pack of these for your boards...

And go for the 25mm thick, that way you can include a river if you want one.

The Dorset boards thread I did for NIck might be useful...

I'll sketch you a rough layout of the town edge if you want, nothing specific, just a general idea of where things go.

James,
 was that masonry paint you used for the dorset boards?

[OSHIROmodels]

It's just a mix of wood glue, sand, filler powder, a bit of paint and some sandtex masonry paint added in for good measure 

cheers

James
