Everyone thanks for the compliments. I would answer the questions, but it seems that someone at the con has given me the flu and I'm a bit under the weather. I will answer all in time. Thanks.

Alright to answer some questions. The overpass and roads were built with gatorboard and dowels, and MDF/hardboard basing. I went with gatorboard as Foamboard will not really hold the cracks, though I’m sure it could if one was inclined to try. I wasn’t . The basic road width is 3” for each lane so the entire road is 7” to include two small side lanes. The rubble is cut up pink foam. Both the overpass, rubble, and roads are covered in textured paint to add detail. The rebar is simply paper clips or whatever wire I had on hand. Really nothing a lot of planning won’t accomplish.

To answer the most asked question, the cars are from an old toy company called Marx. They made them in the 50’s and reissued them in the 90’s. I got my lot on EBay. Try searching for future Marx cars or something similar. Some may pop-up. I got the idea of a fellow gamer, so I can’t take credit. But they are damn perfect though.

Most of the minis were a mix of EM4, Hasslefree, Warzone Bauhuas (Enclave), Heresy Ghouls, Copplestone, Killer B Geezers, and the little girl with Cthulhu from the Frothers Sanitarium competition.

I think that answers most of the questions. I can give more specifics if people wish.

Most impressive work on the board, I don't think there's anyone who would argue that. thanks for sharing. I'm also among those that wouldn't mind seeing some close up pics of the gangs.

If I can find the energy tomorrow, I will take some close-up shots of the models.

A great looking board - the overpass looks very good indeed.

And available in a 12 pack from this ebay seller.

The mat is from the Terrain Guy, I asked for a custom mat to work with my darker bases. The result is excellent.

As for the cars, Whiskeyrat hit it on the head. That there's my source. I'm sure the seller is wondering about the sudden run on old Marx cars.

When I posted the link there were 8 sets - now there are 3 - so I guess you weren't alone.
