Each quarter of the board has six buildings: 1 x single-level, 1 x double-level and 1 x triple-level. |
I base coated the outside of each building with matt black spray paint and they're held together using a square of perspex that, like the 'frames' of the buildings, was scavenged from local businesses. Finally, I printed off various tiles from Dave Graffam's Spaceport Tiles #2 Terrain Set reduced to 80% on 210gsm card using our trusty HP Envy 4504 and stuck them to both sides of each title. I did four different paint jobs of the building's outsides: a black undercoat, a light blue, red, yellow or green second coat at a 45-degree-ish angle followed by a very quick and light grey top-coat with my airbrush, in an attempt to create some more depth. Some of them turned out better than others, but I did achieve both some variation and a sense of commonality, so mission accomplished.
Pretty quickly (and easily) the set-up can be altered materially. |
What next. No more terrain (for a while at least)!! Seriously, I am just about terrain'ed out. Luckily (?) I've got an (evidently 😕) ever-increasing backlog of miniatures that are dying for some paint, so I need to pack away the power tools and stay out of skip bins for a while and turn my mind to more civilized pursuits.
