Really, really cool! Once again very jealous of your speed and quality of the product.

Not looked for a while but you have been very productive. Results are brilliant from simple material, so impressed.
Appreciate the WIP photos so we can see the base and then the finished article.

Got a little side-tracked...  But also inspired for more brick work...  Started on some canals and bridges.  The Carnevale Kickstarter is awfully shiny...

Well, the painting took a while...  Looks a little washed out, but I think that will work once I get some buildings out there...  Going to build a Venice board, got excited by the Carnevale KS...  But, should be a nice exotic locale for pulp too...

Nice work! Those Carnevale miniatures are really cool. We've picked up a few as well.

Really nice! So basically you took slabs of blue foam, inscribed the pavement and stones and then painted it?
I'm planning to do a dockside soon, so good to know!

Yep...  Time consuming, but pretty easy.  I figure I can make some smaller detail sections for docks and piers and change up the table, but this gives a good flexible base...

I scored the foam with a hobby knife, then used an old knitting needle to run along the cuts...  I wanted small bricks (1/2" x 1/4"), so I went with a double-basket weave pattern to save some time...  This let me use a ruler to cut a 1/2" grid first, then freehand the middle cuts...  I did one piece as a 1" x 1/2" running bond.  A lot faster and still looks good, but I went for a little extra detail...
