Don's transportable Stalingrad
« on: July 07, 2011, 11:34:40 AM »
After my little adventure in the desert:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=30183.0

I tried to build some Stalingrad terrain. Again transpotable...

I thought pretty long about a chance to put 15 buildings in a box, but could not come up with a proper idea until I saw a yin&yang symbol... :o



There it was: I would rather build ruines then buildings, by cutting the building in halves...

Okay here is the 1,20x1,20m table.



All the buildings are made of white foamboard for about 10€. Again the buildings are a little flat, but thats the kind of compromise I had to accept...




I added a few propaganda posters for a little etxtra colour...






All the buildings can be put together in a positive/negative-way...



I had little problems with warping this time, but could fix it...





At last everything fits in the factory ruine...



And all fits in a 30x20x15cm box. Esay to transport an to store... :)



So there would be enough space in my rucksack for a city and two armies... :D

In due time I'll try to make some of my own.
I have seen this technique before on theterrainguy.com
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

A very neat and clever idea. I've seen buildings fitting in each other before but you’ve take it to the next level lol
