Hi, everyone. I've been working on a cityboard for playing some All Things Zombie in 28mm. The majority of the buildings are from Sarissa Precision's CityBlock 28mm. Here's a little update.
I hope I'm doing these updates correctly.

Here's a link to the latest stuff.

Thanks for looking. C&C welcome.

Promising layout! The roads looking really good. How'd you do them? I find road width is usually compromised too much on some boards, but yours looks great. Using cut up vinyl tile for the sidewalks is a neat technique. It will all look awesome painted up. The old West building as a steakhouse is an idea I may swap too!

Hi, Stroblight. Thanks.

The roads are very easy. The city board is made from 2 2x4 foot sections of 1/4 inch mdf, with the rough side up. Spray primed black. Then I taped off the road sections and sprayed the gray concrete sections with gray automotive primer. Once dry went back over each area with either black or gray craft paints. The white or yellow lines were drawn on with paint pens and a ruler. When the boards are put together the roads are 12 inches wide. I initially thought I would have enough room for two traffic lanes and parking on each side of the road, allowing 2 inch wide lanes for each, but decided to leave off the parking because my vehicles are a little too large for 2" lanes. Foot wide roads leave a lot of open space on the board but we can always place vehicles and jersey barriers for cover.

Cool set up.
Like everyone else I am really taken by your roads.
Very well done.

Thanks, everyone. I have the day off so I'm hoping to get some more work done on the board today.

Nice setup!

As a survivor, I'd feel very open and exposed walking there...

Hi, folks. Thanks. I took a few more pics, didn't get much done. A little under the weather.

That's really quite fantastic!

Lovely. Great work on the streets. I have that same taco truck that's on your board.

That's an excellent board.

I have a question for you. Which make are your police vehicles (car and van)? I need some for a present day Call of Cthulhu diorama, and these seem spot on.
And if you could post a pic of them next to some 28mm minis (to make sure the scale goes well), that would be very appreciated, too.
