These certainly have character, aggro.

Make sure to show us some pictures when they are coloured in!

Beautiful work! Thanks.

Nice!! I really really like the way the fences are based. Top idea that makes an essential piece of terrain more versatile. I wish I'd done that with mine.  :-[

The sickle in the fruitful field;
The sword he sung a song of death,
But could not make the sickle yield."

Nice work.  I noticed you used the same techniques for each building but added little touches and details to make each building unique.  it makes all the buildings uniform so they look like the belong together.Ah the boarded up windows, it always adds that certain mythos character.  awesome work.

Nice Work Aggro! Like to see what you do in a few years if this is some of your "early" work!  :o Saw your ingenious use of a #2 pencil as a brick press! I did a similar thing but formed mine out of brass tubing I had in the shop. I did press nearly 13,000 bricks into my "Tarter Wall" and the "canal" walls for my Boxer Rebellion game. The game was run several times at a few HMGSPSW conventions here in Southern California.

Nice looking game there sir!

Actually the number 2 pencil was my blogmates idea. I used a converted LEGO brick to make my brick walls and buildings.  :D



They are a little big though.  :D
