Found a site where the guy has made his own 1/300th scale hex-based roads for Battletech:

Mick, 7.62,
How is your airport, still fully functional I trust, we want Goatland's economic trends to improve. Prosperity for all.
Any new developments in the military or civil infrastructure or equipment?

Chris, some major home renos underway at the moment so all packed away.
The big plus is I should end up with a small room just for the armour!
Will give me a permanent work desk/area which I've never really had.
Also a long wide shelf (10'6"x2'6" ish) so some terrain can stay out.
The airport is all there and when the room is done I will have the space to expand it to an international.
The wish list for terrain is a city and a port area. then lots of open country and farmland (1'x1' boards) for the Leo 2's to guard.

Goatland is getting ready for the summer holiday season. The improvement in local area tensions is helping bookings somewhat after a drop in numbers last year. How quickly we forget the shenanigans of Camastan. However the Global economic slowdown is having an effect on Balzac too.
Maybe a good time for some infrastructure spending

Wow I like the airports that you guys are making. Here's one I started on a few years ago but haven't finished.T he board is 2ft square

I must get back to these boards this year.

Hi Guys,

Below are some pics of a home made bunker. Built using plastic cable protectors. One from a VGA cable & one from a HDMI cable. Base coated with yellow over a gritty paste I came across in the local model store. Not yet completed but thought I would show the pics so far so that you can identify the parts used.

Today I painted up some of my new Brownstone buildings. I'll do a proper photoshoot with them later but I wanted to share what I've got so far. Suddenly I want to build a game board for an America scenario.

Nice one Allen. Buildings are next on my list.
I'm sure some will be coming from you.

Mick.

I've recently finished some Modern Cold war buildings and I forgot to post them here

These are based these up to represent a school yard but they could be anything. I went with modular bases to give me some flexibility to add or remove different bases. I tried to lift my painting and airbrushed the base colour and highlights. Also I spent a lot of time on the windows and they have come out very well. Overall I am very happy with the results. Remember these are 6mm scale

The main buildings are Gamecraft, the shed is Leven miniatures and the walls are from CNC. The base is plasticard with painters masking tape stuck one and it creates a nice concrete effect.

Here's a brief run down on some tweaks I made to them.
I started these buildings maybe 2-3 years ago but never got past the detailing stage. Its a Gamecraft building which I added extra details to and I also made it thicker (it looked too narrow IMHO). The back is etched acrylic and is nice but the details do not show up very well in the photos.

Building 1

Building 2

Extra pieces of foamboard to make the building wider

Looks really good. By the way, for that GameCraft building I normally glue the two halves together, back to back, to make one larger building. But doing it the way you did gets you two buildings for the price of one.

I didnt realise that!. It came with acrylic backs so i presumed it was 2 separate building..

Looks really, really good! Thanks for sharing the step-by-step procedures. I'm going to try out your masking tape idea - it came out looking spot on. I hand paint my buildings but airbrushing seems to have a better quality to it. Looking forward to seeing your other work posted up here!

Great STuff!

Thanks for the comments

I'm all inspired and have started on these two new/refurbished bases

Radio Transmitter
This is a Gamecraft mast with a Leven building as the Generator/Transmitter building. The base is plastic with masking tape on top followed by caulk patches. I added the fence with is made from brass etch but it is a tricky to mount and not bend!I also added a bit to the top of the mast form some brass tube. I going to add something to the base for the mast to slot into (the mast will be removable).

Garage

I decided to convert this building as I can't say I have ever been happy with the basing. So I made a new base and a shed for Timecast (I think) and some debris and junk on the base. Also there is a couple of H&R new barrels and the large drum on the brick base are from Timecast. This base is deigned to be a filler between two larger bases so I only used a little piece of fence for it.

More soon hopefully!
