Rhur City Pocket

Just a quick update ...we have done our research and have decided on a new game...we have manage to get a great deal on two cobblestone mats from Deep Cut Studios. I have to say these look impressive http://www.deepcutstudio.com/ We saw one recently and thought mmmm tasty ! So they are now ordered and we are are awaiting delivery...watch this space.

Mdf buildings ...28mm

Mdf and foam board ...

I bought some cheap e bay mdf buildings (15 GB pounds) and I will supplement them with foam board. The scale is 28mm.   

But I am having to spend some time engraving in some more detail. The base is plastic but with engraved pavements.  The building is one piece of the 4 sections (4 sections = one house).

     

We also had these...Sarrisa do some nice 28mm mdf kites as well  

 Below: large factory - producing war kit for the axis (target number one for the allies!!!). We need to add perspex widows etc.

 

 

Above:The Berlin Strasse is a great MDF kit with loads of detail ....so trying to replicate it with mdf and foamboard is a challenge . Matching the same footprint is a challenge on foambaord stability. 

So I decided to make it in four sections rather than 6 (Berlin Strasse). These means it wont fall over easily.

 

 These are the same footprint as the Commission Figures kit Berlin Strasse.  

Above:  The engraving of detail onto the mdf and foamboard. Engraved details like the broken plaster, bullet holes and pavement add to the model.

Have a look at the final Stalingrad game pictures on this blog - and see how the final mat ended up.
