Hi all i love the look of the zone mortalis but unfortunatly i dont have a cat that coughs up ££££.

I was wondering if anyone has any tutorials or knows the links for them, on making this from say MDF? or maybe using some other plastic bits too for the extra detail?

Ive had a look but cant find allot.

Im sure i cant be the only one looking into this.

Here's one way of going about it. If LoS is an issue you don't want to house rule your way around, you could always plug up the windows with plasticard. Another alternative would be solid walls of foam/MDF/whatever clad in CoD wall sections. If buying the Pegasus/GW kits is still too pricey (cheaper than FW, but not necessarily cheap), all you really need are walls laid out on a grid. You can just use foam if you aren't as concerned with aesthetics. A simple Google image search is enough to give you top-down views of the boards, if you want to replicate the same layout. Since it's grid-based, it should be simple to replicate wall thickness and spacing by extrapolating from the outer dimensions. If winging it, a piece of graph paper and a sprinkling of foresight will help you keep your boards compatible, regardless of layout.

It's pretty darned simple, actually, to get the functionality of the Zone Mortalis boards, but the devil is in the details. Making it look good is going to take money or a heavy investment of time and effort. If going fully DIY, any tutorial for fancy building facades will serve you as well as one specifically for replicating the ZM.

That 1st way is amazing hankyou for all your help. It does look really good. I just think id make the coridoors a little tighter. But that looks brilliant thankyou :-) i see what you mean about the foam. No its not great :-\ but ill have a look for tutorials on the fancy stuff too :-) thanks
