Perhaps the addition of some grafitti and signage can dial it all the way up to eleven? 8)

It's coming.  Don't worry.  ;)  I need to get some printer ink so I can do the signs and a friend of mine has some graffiti decals he's giving me. 


I was wondering: how large is that playing surface?

That's a 1' square board.  That's one of the things I love about 15mm.  I can do so much in a small place.  And I use whatever ruleset I want.  If the rules are for 28mm, I just half the distances and I'm done.  I know a lot of people do some whacky conversions, but I don't.

That is all I would do; half the distances.

So is the idea to string several of these boards together then? What is the base made out of?

It's amazing what you can fit on 30x30cm!

15mm enables much more epic (or condensed) scenery. Great project!

I actually have four boards that are being built up.  I have another one already done, but need to post the pictures. 

The boards are made out of hardboard.  Here's a link so you can see it specifically.

Here's some pictures of the next board.  The lighting wasn't great.  I was playing a game of Five Parsecs From Home with my guys.

That looks awesome.  I'd love to get something like that for Infinity, in 28mm of course.  Can you scale up the files to print them larger?

Nice. Can't wait for the full group shot. I imagine that will be quite the spectacle in all its tall and claustrophobic cityscape glory!

You can take the STL files and scale them.  I'm sure it would be fine.  These are the majority of the buildings I'm using:
