I love the cars, what brand are they? Your paintjobs really work well on them, is that a MFP paintjob on the ute?

Cheers mate!  The SUV is a Russian brand I got on my last trip and the Stang is an 'Auto-Projects' line from M2, they come all scuffed up.  I love the line!

And yes, that's the MFP Heavy Interceptor.... >:)

20mm is AWESOME!  All of this terrain, including materials, about $60.00.  VERY happy in this scale, and in a pinch, it passes the sniff test for 30mm too.

The zeds are from http://www.elhiemfigures.com/29.html

this is the link to the zed page.  Pretty reasonable and a good variety of poses!  I should have them started in the next couple of weeks!

Just found the box.  The SUV is a 1:60 scale 'Welly'

Thank you very much, it's been a fun and surprisingly fast project!  Each building start to finish has not taken more than 2 days, with lots of that taken up with drying time....  Once you go 20mm, you never go back (sure you do, but that's ok too)

Ok, the town of Old Shoreham is 95% done!  This was about a month's worth of time, working VERY part time.  It was something to give me a break between writing...   

I'll also be adding some details and stuff once they arrive, not to mention all the minis... :)

I was too eager not to take pictures to post up!

I present, Old Shoreham.

Please feel free to comment, I'm interested to get people's overall feedback.

Cheers Mate!  I wanted this terrain to serve at least double duty.  So it's good zombie games, pure PA games like After the Horsemen, smaller scale CW games, etc.

I must say I'm VERY happy with how it all turned out, I highly recommend the Zuzzy products.  Really first rate.

I mounted it on mdf with white glue and then weighed it down with anther board and 12 bricks for about 5 days.  It set perfectly.  DO NOT use spray-on glue.  This seems like a 'no-brainer' until a millisecond after you hit the trigger....  It sticks immediately and gives no opportunity to fine tune the fit, which is absolutely necessary.  I do plan to run a bead of super glue around the rim to permanantly join the seam.

All that said, I took a good deal of inspiration from Za Zjurman's Wild West board!

Just wanted to give a sneak peek at my first gang, and a sample of the table set up.
