It's going to be something...
Aggressive expansion and small update.
I decided that I should make a few extra pieces so that I can rearrange the layout in different ways. This would also mean I can expand to a full 4′ x 6′ layout and have enough room to fit my Victorian Science Fiction Airport onto the board (once I actually finish that building, that is) and also increase the ‘slums area’, which I still have to make.
This would also mean I could add some more Fantasy style buildings to my collection in the future. It would be nice to add a tavern and wizards tower of some sort down the line.
Still plenty more to do just to get the basic tabletop done, but I'm getting there.I also found a little time to do some general tweaks here and there and fix up a few bits that were not quite sitting right for me. At the moment the board is all ‘unclipped’. Once I insert the clips it pulls the whole thing together and closes all the gaps. Once I have got all the individual tiles to the same level, I can give them some weathering to help tie them all together and then start clipping them together so I can start making some progress on all the extra bits to go with it.
I have repainted the cobblestone road, added small grills to all the arches built into the walls, repainted the curb stones a slightly lighter shade, which I think helps separate the paving from the road sections better. I also inserted batteries into the pillars for the lighting.
A view along one section of the sewer system that runs around the outside of the board, and will eventually expand into the board under the surface. I created small thin lift off roofs for all the sewer sections so that I can still use them without all the stuff on top and have a similar 'fog of war' effect as I have for my Dungeonalia project.
I painted the roofs of my Gothic corner pieces to match the copper roofs of my Gaslight buildings
I also painted the curb stones going over the bridges and made the steps from the lower to upper levels more grey in colour.
