Ruined London Board ( Photobucket links repaired!)
« on: 22 July 2012, 11:03:52 PM »
I wasn't sure wither to ad this on to my workbench thread or start again here with this. I've had a wee thread on the go that all started with an idea to build a ruined Big Ben model(which Ainisty Castings picked up to produce) and it quickly got out of hand!! In the thread there was a sketch for a board and Crooked Dice have asked me to make the a smaller demo board they can use for their Zombie7TV.(no pressure then!! :'()

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=34783.0

The board they are looking for is only going to be 2x2 so I've had to whittle it down and lose a bit to save room and fit stuff on.

This is the original sketch...



...and this is what I'm going to shortened it down to....



I've not got much to show so far. I'm using Michi's excellent tube station as inspiration for my own underground..

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=12378.0

And this is where I'm at so far...





.and in the darkness ;)....



The jetpack cabinet and the cupboards are just to show where I'm planing to put benches and vending machines. I've also been bidding on cars on eBay and I've managed to win these...



I've also got a Morris Cortina and  bubble car. All of which I plan to re-paint and use in an abandoned traffic jam on the surface of the board. The plan is to use my ruined Nelsons Column and base the surface on Google Map images of Charing Cross.

 :o :o :o

That looks amazing already, cant wait to get the updates on this!
Oh, yes!
It is bringing my own ,imagined, version of James Herbert's Domain to mind.
 ;D ;D ;D


One thing worries me, though:
Has Charing Cross been destroyed without me noticing?
Google maps version of it..... ::)

Cheers guys! I meant to ask, one of the things I would have liked to get would have been a 1:43/1:50 scale London bus but I can't seem to find one anywhere. Does anybody know where to get one ? I can easily find 1:76 ones but no 1:43! :'( :'(

Also what's peoples thoughts on the taxis shown? Which ones better? I kind of like the smaller one. Just because it's a small board and it doesn't take up too much room.

Thanks again guys!

Come on Andy ::)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=1+43+london+bus

The smaller taxi does look better, probably because 1/43 is a tad too big really (it would be my choice though) but then the mini looks large against it.

I have an Aston Martin DB5 you can have, send me your address. No 60's London should be without one.
