Actually I prefer military oeprations in built up areas, it looks cooler. I definately use the sprues of buildings that came with the game (I wish they made some intact buildigs also). In fact I bought more and have created a ruined city which is about� 3 feet by 3 feet. I also have a bunch of buildings from Tactical Conflict Systems. These I sue for villages and smaller towns. I have both the intact and regular variety. I also bought a bunch of futuristic modular buildings from GEOHEX: WWW.Geohex.com which I used to construct a base and facilities . I took all this stuff, mounted it on cardstock and created city blocks with roads. for rubble I sued peiced of sprue, small rocks, tin foil old microarmor vehicles and figures (for dead civilians) and other junk. I created craters with beer caps and tin foil that look great. Then I spray painted (primer black) flocked and sprayed again to get a good "Nuked look". I finished up with some highlighting. It's a work in prgress but it looks pretty good. I could probably put together a 4' x 4' city at least.

Another great source of building materials is various packing materials. US SPortser modems come packed in this cardboard thing. that makes a great futuristic building. I found this plastic thing that looks like something tomatoes tomatoes come in that makes eiethr a great huge hydroponic greenhouse or some sort� a futuristic shiled generator. The radar dish off an old Star wars figure millenium faclon also makes a great commo array. For Christmas someone gave me a micronauts Mars Sourjourner explorer whish has a bunch of parts and is perfect for Epic Scale.

��� Do you purchase "N" gauge railroad buildings and bridges?

I did use some TCS bridges.�

��� What do you use for Trees?
�

Well I do have a lot of trees saved up over the years So I haven't needed to make any. I also have a bunch of lichen for brush.

I use GEOHEX terrainscape Matts to lay down under everything and I do have their hills which I use.

If anyone wants pictures of my anything let me know as I have a digital camera. I am hard at work on my Epic site but it'll be a few more weeks becasue of some diarammas I'm making and a short story I'm finishing up. Received on Sat Feb 14 1998 - 21:02:17 UTC
