Building a greek city state (pic HEAVY!)

Post by fredrik »

Well, the city part at least...

I'm building a greek city for my and my friends/favourite enemies armies to fight over:

Some finished houses:

Wall tower prototype (WIP):

All buildings are scratch built using foamcore and painted with textured paint. The roofs are railway modelling panels cut to shape and painted up.

This is still very much work in progress, all the houses have been built and a little less than half of them painted. I'm working on the city walls and towers. In the end it will be a 30x30 cm terrain piece but the walls and towers will be left modular so they can be used to cover the short edge of a gaming table for some siege gaming. What do you think of it so far?

Very nice! Useful too, as the basic buildings will serve for about 2000 years and on at least 3 continents.

Well done.

This is awesome!!!! I really liked it. I have been thinking about making some buildings and you gave me very good ideas. In my case I will be making a village. My main problem is to put together the miniatures scale with the game scale, but anyway I think I will go your way and attach to the 1/100 scale. One thing you can study now is getting a good floor for it. I recently discovered hirst arts molds, which are good for this purpose. Here you have a sample:
