Modular Board/City Block WIP (December 29, 2011)

been a while but wanted to share WIP

this board connects to my completed Mordheim dock (https://boringmordheimforum.forumieren.com/t5681-mordheim-dock)

to get a sense for the buildings see my completed villa (https://boringmordheimforum.forumieren.com/t5900-villa-october-30-2011)

buildings will "sit" on 8"x8" squares between streets over the undercroft/basement

as previously described, board is 2' x 2', all wood

central streets are 4" wide, the side streets 2" wide

this is an overhead shot of the whole board:



each undercroft/basement will be finished differently, i.e. the tile pattern/crushed stone (not on board yet)/packed earth (ditto)

this is a detail of the crossroads/center:



each corner is dedicated to one of the 4 chaos gods and here's one corner:



2 alternative angles:





a test for the sewer sections in the undercrofts/basements:



my only advice if I were to rebuild the board is to have the height be 3" -- it's only 2"

so there's going to be a little practical issue since undercrofts are only 1.5" which means the buildings can't stay in place with figures below unless they are short (i.e. skaven, sinks, rats, etc)

hope to be painted up soon

next: 2 more buildings that are WIP (amphitheatre & apartment block)

then 1' x 2' board with deeper undercroft/basement

also 6"x2' canal/river section with removable bridges

comments welcome

all for now

with buildings and minis for scale & context

VERY IMPRESSIVE looking stonework...the surrounding buildings are EXCELLENT also. Keep up the FINE WORK!

Now don't feel bad, but W.I.P. terrain goes in the Scenery and Terrain Section...the Gallery is reserved for finished pieces. SO off we go to W.I.P. Land.

A Truly superb piece of craftsmanship you must have Dwarf blood running through your veins.

Lovely work! I bet that thing is heavy as heck though!

wow! nice idea! good job!
