scratch that, new CITY!
This monster is going to be my biggest undertaking yet! I basically will have to build this on the floor. I am attempting at working out the kinks to make it so I can take the buildings off for storage. It may be difficult because once I add all the wreckage and rubble to this thing, I want the buildings to look a part of it, so we'll see. I am building this mainly for use with the McFarlane Military line. Of course, others will fit right in(ML, DC, Zombies, whatever). I plan on repainting a squad of maybe 4-5 soldiers as some kind of Vigilante group in a post-apocalypic world. I haven't decided "who or what" the enemies will be, or if they will just remain up to the imagination.
Here is a VERY raw shot of the mock up. This shows where the streeet layout and sidewalks will go. The far board at the end is going to be a side of a hotel with either a balcony or two huge windows. I plan on having the "hidden evil" be lying in wait for the soldiers to come in. To the front right will either be some kind of pizza shop or antique store, followed by a half-walled alley, and then some kind of building on the corner. On the left will be a giant warehouse spanning the block, with it's corner blown out by some kind of bomb or explosives. Of course, all city items will be in play, sewers, telephone poles, trash cans, etc. This one is going to be messy! Well, enjoy the pics, I am expecting this to probably take the rest of this year, and some of next to complete. It should be a fun journey, and I hope you all will join me!
Base is 29.5" wide by 36" long. "Hotel" building will be 30" wide X 30" tall. The Pizza shop/store will be about 15" high and maybe 10-12" long, the corner building is up in the air right now. Warehouse will be at LEAST 24" tall and as long as the block(which I think is like 17" or so)
ENJOY!
