Free City of Gierburg

Even lovelier when seen in a group and those figures are a bit special as well.

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone!

Thanks to Clarence from Quindia Studios I have now started to use SketchUp for creating the layout of the game board. Hopefully this will help me make a decision on how to progress with the board.

The city & figures so far are excellent. I look forward to seeing how the rest develops. I've wanted to model a small portion of a port/canal city for a bery long time, and this project is inspiring.

You've really put the 3d modeling to good use. I also like Sketchup as a tool, for hobby work or otherwise.

Amazing work and project!

That's a great tip about building all the different modules in separate SketchUp files. I've been trying to plan a board in one massive file, and then swearing when it won't let me copy exactly what I want.

Yes, it took me a bit to find out how to do things. But now I am prepared to created my digital terrain asset library.

  Stunning.

Unfortunately I am still far away from having a full board. The little that is finished only works for small scenes such as these:

Small but stunning scenes! Already a super collection!

Not much progress in terms of the actual Gierburg gaming board but I got this cobblestone gaming mat from UrbanMatZ after seeing it praised in the Mordheim Facebook group. I am super happy with it and it provides me with a way to play games on a nice surface until the "real" board is finished:

That doesn't look too bad actually. Is it slightly fuzzy?

cheers

I am surprised myself that it works so well once the terrain and figures are all set up.

And yes, the design is slightly fuzzy indeed. I actually haven't thought much about this aspect yet. I guess this is a good trick because it makes the texture of the fabric material less obvious (mousepad material).

Thanks for the info 

You can just about make it out in the lower picture but I'm sure when the table is full it won't matter.

cheers

I was just browsing through the thread from page1.

There's too many good things to comment on so I stick with 'This is absolutely brilliant'.

Thanks for sharing und alles.
