I am constantly updating my terrain tables. Currently my latest project is a Hive City style board. Here are pics involving three new buildings. I can't take credit for the posters, found on the internet and thanks to all the geniuses who made them, You rule! I've ordered a bunch of accesories (including lasercut signs etc, but not here yet)
First pics of the overall board: (Learning the spoilers/hiding tag, so bear with me)(Hey give a few votes so it shows up when the site loads if you don't mind)
Spoiler:






Next up is the underground radio station (which of course everyone knows) HRSY! Yell it! Don't spell it! (A slogan stolen from an old rpg...) This is a complete scratch build of base and balsa wood with old bits and such.It also features posters of the star attraction. Yes, Bubblegum Crisis remains one of the greatest animes ever IMO. The cans are dowels cut and painted. I use water effect over the spills.
Spoiler:







This is the craft beer brewery Lightning 81. Another scratch build using base and balsa wood etc. That kiln thingy is a blinker light part I found on the road. The bottles (the small ones) are dowels shaped with a dremel. The broken ones are plasticard hollow tubes cut and shaped. i paint the spills with watery colors then cover them with water effect.
Spoiler:







Next is the local government station. It's built like a fortress, although that hasn't stopped the gangs from tagging it. This one is NOT scratch built, but a modified building I bought a LONG time ago from an Australian company called Miniature Scenery. They can now be bought in the USA through Every Little War and I really recomend them. Good stuff and easily painted into great looking stuff.
Spoiler:





Thanks for looking. Any comments are welcome, I am always looking for ideas etc.

I never forget the Dakka unit scale is binary: Units are either OP or Garbage.
