Apocalypse in Paris
« on: 15 October 2013, 08:16:19 PM »
Hi,

In November, I will play a 7ombies game with three friends.

Presently I'm creating a board of Paris. The goal for the 4 heroes  (1mini/player) is to cross diametraly the board - full of zombies of course - from the VW van (Ooh nooo, no fuel anymore... ) untill the 7TV helicopter at the top of the building (okay, I'm inspired by the World War Z movie  :D )

Work is in progress but here below some pictures. The board is 1x1 m. The miniatures on the pictures are not the ones we will playing with.

Comments welcome !

Beautiful - needs a bit more scatter terrain between buildings, but the vibe is great.

thans for your comments  :)

Yes, indeed, I need to put much more debris in the streets (it is too clean like this!) and more trees in the "Champs de Mars".
But I think I won't make wreckages with the cars. It is so sad to destroy a toy  lol

I bought the tower here :

It is not a puzzle but a carboard/foam model.

the fences are bought in a "electric trains" shop. I will try to find the name of the producer (marklin ?) and their particular scale (O / HO ?).

Thanks! If you finde the producer please tell me. In the meantime I´ll pay visit to my lokal minitrainshop and have a look around.

Are the pillars between the fence sections from the sam kit?

@Abrelax : I don't have the packaging anymore. I remember only that it's a German train producer. In the kit, there are 11 fences and 1 gate, 12 pilars and 12 green "pots". I only painted the arrowhead in gold and the pots in stonegrey.

If you do find in your trainstore, send me a PM.

Nice board.

@abrelax : Kibri does a fencing set with pillars and a gate in HO scale, but if you want to stick to O-scale, do a search on google for O-scale fencing. Some chinese stores sell these for peanuts.

I can just see the masses of walking dead shambling through that terrain!  Very nice.  :)

Daysman: Thanks, I´ll try to find it. Will tell you if I do.

zizi: I´m not that stuck to O-scale as long as it fits my 28 mm models. I´ve had a good googling, but it´s really hard to tell if something is good by just looking att pictures of items online...
