Lots and lots of fantastic scenery!  Those building really add great flavour to any gaming board.  (Also, I love the SW stuff especially the Death Star rooms.)

Great stuff - has inspired me to dig out the buildings for my city project (including a number of Plasticville ones) and actually think about doing something with them at last.

I couldn't really tell from the pictures, but are the interiors accessible?

The terrain is excellent.  What did you use as a base for the buildings?

I only have an interior for the garage.  The large two story is stackable with a roof and a false floor, but because most of my models were so warped from age and general wear I found I really had to glue them to stay straight.  My factory has braces inside to push the walls out to make it sit flat on the ground.  I would love to do interiors, but the plasticvile buildings are really too small.

I used painted cardboard for the sidewalk.  I founs when I added barrels and debris they turned out nicely.

Sorry to revive this old thread but the buildings look fantastic! I was wondering what scales they are, are they all O scale or is there a mix in there? I've been scouring the internet trying to find somewhere in the UK that sells a good range of Plasticville etc buildings in O but can't but have found other scales and I'm not sure how suitable they will be.

All this scale stuff really does confuse me, easily done though.

All the buildings pictured are O Scale.  This place sells Plasticville in the UK:

Hello,
The gentleman I bought the factory from said that it was "S: scale.  It is very close but the doorways are rather small.  I've seen people modify the doors so they are larger but they looked close enough to me.  Apparently they are Marx molds.

Where did you get the garbage cans...?  And did you just Google Image search old movie posters and shrink them down and print them off...?
