It's going to be something...

I decided to plonk a few buildings around just to get a feel of how things may look.  This is not the finished layout and is of course subject to change at any point.  This was just a chance for me to try and visualise how things may look with my Gaslight buildings.  There are a few little bits that will be replaced to give a more fantasy feel for when I replace the buildings with my Port Blacksand buildings, which I am hoping will come in useful for Guards of Traitors Toll.

I printed a few different market stalls and spare canopies to get a feel for what I could make the sunken road look like.  I will have to do a mixture of both Fantasy and Victorian-style market traders so that I can swap them out.  I will also have to make sure everything is removable for when I want to use the board for 55mm Gothic Horror.

The entrance to the market street will be overlooked by gothic statues that will be lit with flickering lights, again these are removable so that they can be swapped out with something a little less Gothic and a lot more Fantasy.

I am thinking of turning a part of the board into more of a ‘slums’ area.  The place with one of the sewer access points seems ideal.   I think I will scratch-build a wooden building with an arched walkway to go where the blue ringed area is and then either replace the other buildings with more wooden-looking buildings or incorporate some wooden shacks attached to the buildings.

I think adding some wooden structure will give some nice extra colour and texture and contrast against all the stonework.
