Just finished up a small 3.5'x3.5' Urban/CityFight board that I converted from an architectural model I picked up at a local auction.

Before:


After:





I blogged the whole process pretty thoroughly in a how-to post here:

Nothing too groundbreaking technically, but -if I may self-promote a bit- there's some good methods for cheap and effective texture paint, fast sidewalks and spray-on road texture.

Looks pretty good. Some buildings would help spruce it up a bit.

Never fear, there will be buildings. We've already got buildings and terrain pieces and will be building more. The focus of the post/blog was only the table itself.

Also, as seen in the blog (but not this thread) the table originally came with a 4 way road overpass. That's in process of conversion now.

Stay tuned....
