My Post-Apoc Figures and Terrain (Zombies & Urban Scatter added 5/11/24)

That scatter terrain looks good, Mike.  Nicely done!

So much good stuff and very nicely handled. I’d never heard of that stuff before, I must look out for it.

Excellent work!

Thanks, guys -- appreciate the kind words. There's so much of it in there...you could disappear down the rabbit hole painting it up and emerge a year later! So far, I have decided NOT to put scatter in the interiors of my buildings. I figure if I pick a building and do one, it will just show how the others are barren on the inside.

I don't know...do others put scatter on the inside of the building to represent desks, counters, racks, shelves, etc.?

I aspire to, but haven’t gotten that far on any of my 28mm skirmish game projects. Still too focused on putting together enough figures and terrain to cover basics.

I always try to put just one or two characteristic pieces of furniture inside buildings, often along the walls (we need space for gaming) but I don't have as many as yours. I also realised that few posters can be very atmospheric, even dragged on the floor...

I like putting posters on walls -- especially for MDF buildings that otherwise might look a bit 2-dimensional. These are from a Sarissa Precision building that I modified to be a brewpub named in honor of my friend the craft brewer (where we usually do our gaming).

I like the idea of Kourtchatovium’s, of putting a few characteristic pieces in a room. That would signal what the room is, without having to do a full set each time. Pieces could also be moved out of the way for game play when figures need the space.

I have been toying with a similar idea, of making ‘drop in’ pieces - basically a few pieces of furniture on a theme on a base (ex, piano with bench and a vase on it) to go in rooms until the figures need to go there. In another thread someone did something like that done very effectively for sci-fi “tunnel crawl” gaming.
