Very nice terrain! Just out of curiosity, how big is each hex?  :)

What a beautiful and modular setup.

Newest addition to the table...City roads, with sidewalks.



awesome! Your roads are impressive. How did you make them?

The roads are quite easy, I use 1/8th MDF 2" Hexes bought from Gamecraft. I take 1in electrical tape to mark out the pattern and then draw off the edges of the tape with a pencil. I then remove the tape and dremmel a small grove where the pencil marks are. From there paint black and dry brush grey. The edges of the rural roads are created with putty and then painted brown and then drybrushed lighter browns...then flocked. The city roads' edges are just painted the same to represent concrete.

I use this Chinese ebay seller, has positive reviews and I got all my stuff within a week or so...his name is kinda funny, but like I said he delivered the correct product and I will be buying more. Just do a search for z scale, I used several trees of various sizes, but all z scale.

Do the trees come already 'assembled'? And is it actually 100 trees?

The first time I purchased the light green trees from him/her I ordered 50 and received 50.

Also, yes they come assembled, some were crushed, but they were easy to push/pull back into shape.

Hey Gigobyte,

Im,using GCM hexes as well for a tabletop board. What is the process your using for flocking them? Ive been painting a layer of pva on the hex, flocking, waiting 24 hours, then brushing pva over the entire hex. Do you have a better way?

First: if it is for a rural piece then I spackle it up little to give it ground texture.

Then I pre-flock (gravel/sand): It is just sprinkled on after simple white pva glue is brushed on where I want it.

Then paint, dry brush... Then I brush simple pva glue and then sprinkle the grass onto it and let dry for an hour to a day.

I hope that answered your question.

Here are some things that I have been working on...slowly but still working.

The first is some city décor. Two statues, two fountains, and four parking lots. They still need paint but that will be later.



This one is just the big parking lot shown taken apart, I connected the top with magnets so I can expand later.

Just started getting proper terrain (felt hex map and hills at moment), so I'm now watching the this part of the forum with interest.

Your roads are excellent !

I have a pretty decent Geo-hex style set up that looks good but I'm
stuck on my roads .  I think you accidentally gave me an idea .

Now where did  I put all those styrene sheets with the tiny squares on them ...

Nothing as of yet.

I will be purchasing GC hexes to hot glue to the bottom of these completed mountains and then I will have to match paint techniques I used.
It seems like more work (and it will be), but I didn't think about it at the time of creation. So now I have to go back and rework them.

But as far as what they are actually made out of, it is pink foam installation from Home depot, cut with a hot wire foam cutter.

I hope that answered your question.

Here are some water towers...



And an orbital laser tower that I am working on, complete with magnet to turn. Although it doesn't look like the primer is sticking to the plastic, it is flaking off.

Did you make that gun & mount or convert a existing piece?

Have you thought about putting some green vegetation bits on some of those building's balconies?

Overall, awesome . . . I started saving small product logos from things to make my own billboards thanks to your idea.

I totally made that gun and mount. All from caps, doohickeys, and plastacard sheets and tubes.

I have thought about it, but at 6mm the vegetation would look out of place and large.

I'm not a fan of buildings (more of a terrain guy), but I absolutely love how you have done the city. You've covered more than just basic structures and included elements like lots, ramps, and so much more. The consistency of the theme of your work ties all the work together.

Bravo!

I need to ask You - how did You do the hex bases? I want the same ones - stiff and thin - for my terrain making!

Great job overall.

With this level of detail, why don't You think about some more detailed windows? Making a two-layer wall with first layer with cut-out windows and second with transparent material will make them look much more regular. Just a thought.

You've covered more than just basic structures and included elements like lots, ramps, and so much more. The consistency of the theme of your work ties all the work together.

Thank you very much.  O0

how did You do the hex bases?

I get them from http://gamecraftminiatures.com/ Then I base them with Spackle, put some multi sized sand/gravel, paint, then flock them. pretty much it.

With this level of detail, why don't You think about some more detailed windows? Making a two-layer wall with first layer with cut-out windows and second with transparent material will make them look much more regular.

Why, yes I have thought about putting a little more detail into them, however...they are just used for game pieces and this way if they get damaged, I can create another one to replace it fairly easy. Plus it stays constant with the way I create the buildings, thus I can create multiple at a time by plowing through them.

There are a few that have better detail, mostly the accent pieces though.

Thank you all, I am off on vacation next week so I should be posting more pictures of things soon.

Soon, I'll be making my own.

Took a class here locally, which means I can now use their laser cutter myself :D

Probably next week I'll pop down and cut myself a whole whack (or maybe half a whack depending on time) some Hex bases.

Good stuff man, really feels like an actual city.
It also amuses me how I can recognize some of the bits you used like the golf tee radio tower and the pen cap ventilation stacks.
That's it! Challenge the Clans to rock-paper-scissors in 3050! A good portion of the 'Mechs didn't have hands so the Inner Sphere would win!
If I had a nickel for every time I've legged a Warhammer, I could put them in a sock, spin it around and leg another Warhammer.

I do not remember seeing an answer, did you use a stain/varnish on the foam buildings after painting them?  I am thinking of using my gray one on hills to also help seal the flock on it as well as provide some little detail for each cut.
