The city needs a facelift.

Well not that my city is big. But so far I have gotten by with what I had. But the only real buildings of use are Survivor house ,the gates and Gravesend segway tours. The hospital is a project on its own. But I really want more to Gravesend than the 40k ruins, lego house and old pirateship. So I am investing in some lasercut buildings from Sarissa. The two first buildings here are on the list. 

I have some roads painted on my board. But lets face it....I am not entirely happy with the result. One step at a time, and the roads will get a shine up. I do have some cars and you may remember my wrecked car. The city will need more stuff. I have some spawn points and some bits to throw around. It needs a bit more personality. Thus I created these flower pots out of bottlecaps. I made it look like some of the earth was missing and they were a bit neglected. The idea to this is from real life. 2nd picture is rom a place I pass everyday when on my way to work.







I think they came out pretty good. Picture below is some of the other stuff I will use to clutter up the streets of Gravesend. Spawnpoints, citysign, the wrecked car and the tubing. It needs some kind of rope around it and ofcourse a spot of paint so it actually looks like some metal piping. Good use for cover and it could actually look like some sewer pipes now I think about it.


 Well that is it from me this time. I am awaiting a package from England with some...Scenery. But that will have to wait to be revealed. This coming Monday will see me and my mate battling some zombies as we finally try out the ALL THINGS ZOMBIE ruleset. If all goes well I may be able to start my little campaign.

  1. Nice collection of scenery there. I will be stealing the plant pot and pipe ideas. You could make them concrete pipes judging by the size of them.

    What did you fill the bottle lids with?

  2. Nice idea with the bottlecaps. Getting any number of buildings together is always going to take time and there are a lot ofus inthe same situation.

  4. Great looking stuff for your city. I agree, the Sarissa stuff looks great. I would be surprised if I didn't wind up with some of that as well.

  5. This stuff looks absolutely fantastic. I'm stealing your bottletop idea. Is the package you're waiting on the one I'm sending? You should have it by now. It's only supposed to take 5 days?

  7. Thanks guys. The bottlecaps have some cardboard in them and then just some PVA glue. A bit of sand and static grass will do the work.

    @lead legion, yup...That is the one. Our post here in DK are sometimes pretty lazy! It may turn up this monday.

  8. Excellent work mate, your plant pots are fantastic and I'm stealing your idea while I write this comment!! ;)
    The best part remain the wrecked car, I feel "attached" to it... ;)

  10. Thats a bunch of great ideas, I'll definitely be "forced" to copy some of that. I was already thinking about making barrels from bottle caps (just put 2 together, no science), but that would look too weird for me. But some flowers, on the other hand, thats fantastic.
    I should really take a walk in a city and watch for the little details like that...and start taking a notes :D
