Thanks!! It's 3' x 2'

A bit to small I feel. But maybe I'll make it a two level thing with the street above.. or it will just have to be more intimate fights going on. There's lots of blocking for LOS so it can work.

Unless you have a ton of figures on the map, and it is a wide open field, I think 2x3 is perfect. I've started playing 2x2 games this past year because I found that anything bigger just means several turns of moving before contact. As a solo gamer, that is a touch boring. I'd rather have relatively short LOS with lots of terrain. Urban warfare, or jungle, style. That way maneuvering is all tactical and not just the logistics of getting close enough to the enemy to do something about it. I can assume all the "how did we get within range" stuff in my head.

3' x 2' is a good size.  Basically a table top for most games.  You want the metro to feel claustrophobic I think.  I can't start any new building projects due to a pending house move, but when we are settled, I think this will be my first project.

You already have a pretty decent metro, as I recall  ;)

if in the future you want to expand it you can always build some add-on room sections that line up with the doors and expand it. or build a (condensed) tunnel network with some side rooms.

Looking good!

Have you read "Kaknäs sista band" by Anders Fager? I think "Medis" is looking suitably wrecked to fit in his stories.

Love the little Pressbyrån, I feel like it's time to make a roll on the find table  :D

Yes. I have. That's a great book. :)  Maybe I'll make the upper entrance removable and make an inventory beneath it so Pressbyrån Will have interiors

Andrew,
             Thanks for the kind words.  I merely made a couple wall sections to be set up and taken down.  Yes, they look decent for quick games, but something like the station, is definitely special.

That looks great!  It may be a little boxy or light on little details compared to a pre-cast/moulded model, but your train car looks good and gets the idea across very well, great job on that.  My stupid thumbs would not let me build something like that out of plasticard  lol lol

Gteat work! It looks so dirty and decrepit I would want to wash my hands after playing on it!
