Ghosthammer54 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hey everyone, So I have built a whole lot of terrain in my day. But I decided to take a crack at building a board. And I decided to make a nice home for my showgirls. This is what I have knocked out so far. Let me know what you guys think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 dang thats really nice! whats your plan for the layout going forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosthammer54 Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Am going to add five smaller opened top buildings across the street. Then from there it is just a matter of deciding on how I want to do the cobblestone for the street. Then it is on to painting and detail work! In terms of larger detail work am going to add a number of round tables to the theater some up right and some knocked over onto there side. And counters and what not to the other buildings. And at this point am not trying to think about all the little details, am going to do to finish up the board. I will let my future self deal with that mess. And thanks am really proud of the board so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosthammer54 Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 So I knocked out the major work on the other buildings on the board. Here is a shot of the whole board at the moment. Now it is on it is time to start on the street! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbadger Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 very nice, I have a similar plan to make a board that could be the star or the honeypot but they have not made it out of the note pad yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Let me start with great concept and I am looking forward to seeing your finished product. Then from there it is just a matter of deciding on how I want to do the cobblestone for the street. A bit tediuos but an easy way to do cobblestones (that look great) is to get two different diameter copper tubes (from the model train/ plane stores) and flatten them a bit with a hammer (looking for an irregular shape as opposed to a circle or rectangle). You can either flatten the other end as well (for more variety) or add some tape to it for palm padding (after pressing a ton of cobbles your palm will thank you). Once done with that is is as simple as pressing the tubing into the foam just enough to break the surface slightly (there is usually a sound that accompanies this). Having multiple diameters and shapes will add to the realism as will avoiding a set pattern (like rows which are more akin to brick than cobblestone). I did this (well in truth my minions did this a bajillion times on my modular sewer tables seen below) You can see that on the tile on the lower left they tried pressing in rows (which doesn't look right) while on the right tile they were much more random (and pressing a bit deeper). Hopefully that helps a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosthammer54 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 So I finished the streets and now it is on to painting! I ended up using cut up bits of cereal box to use as flagstone for the streets. and here is a close up shot of the street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
