Very nice DRPgeneral. I like them :).

Well, I think phase one might be done . . . I blame it on Allen and TAMMY.

I had considered doing the random loose litter, but making pages at 1 x 0.75mm seems a bit much. Now on to the sides and roofs!

What did I do? I'm not known for making large city boards :lol:

That looks really great, I love it.

Nazgul,
Really nice town... I bet my forces could take it (it might not be standing and look like AllenRockwell's) or my guys could hold it.
But I am not going into Rockwells town, I need my AFV for direct fire support and elimination of the enemy....the rubble in Allens is effective. Nice stuff!!!

Bring it to Historicon in VA in July, Re-con in Fl in April, or Rapier in June in Jacksonville, FL.

Nazgul what did I do?

I like very much the final result. All that small details add life to thebuildings and make them very realistic.

Thanks for all the kind words.

Thanks to Allen and TAMMY for their input, it helped me to slow down and re-evaluate what I had done. I like it a lot better now. (Especially the inspiration from Allen's city, WOW!)

Can't make any of them this year, I plan to eventually get out of the state and Historicon is on my bucketlist :D .

Had to take a break from the Block Party. I wanted to do something different so this is what I have done so far. Just need clean them up a little and to get out and get more paint to finish. :(

A little fuzzy here and there, I'm using a camera that doesn't focus well when it is taking pictures up close. Has anyone done a tutorial on making baggage using Green Stuff putty? I've looked at the sandbags, but I just can't seem to be able to make the transition.

Thanks,
Cris

Nice mod on that truck. Is that for a post-apocalyptic game?

It appears to be a gun truck for Iraq/Afganistan for insurgency vs. convoys. Concord has pic book out on this topic.

Very nice, accurate gun mount above the cab with panels and support. Great work and following the detail.
