Board project - Close to the finish line

My board project is coming close to the end. I have not painted any miniatures or done anything else hobbywise but work on the buiildings and different scatter terrain; pallets, crates, etc.

Yesterday evening I was finished. So I lined up everything, to see what the finished board would look like and if there was enough terrain pieces. I would still love to get an old locomotive and some wagons, but have been unable to find any that would not be very expensive. In the end I have not quite ended up with my version of the London Necropolis station, but more a goods station. I have added a coffin in the main building though.

So unless I decide to do more about the interior of the buildings, I only have to print some Empire of the Dead posters, similar to what I have done for my London Docks board, and glue them onto the buildings.

Here are a bunch of pictures that I took yesterday. Everything except the rail tracks is scratchbuilt, and I think I have spent roughly 60-70 hours making the board.

    1. Thanks Simon,
      Getting the train and carriages will cost me around £30 but I think it will be worth it.

  2. Wow, this is great! Not only is it well built and nicely finished, but it should be good to play on too. You've got a nice balance of open areas, cover and obstacles. A train would be ideal to add something to the centre of the board when appropriate. Very impressive work :-)

    1. Thanks Paul,
      the board will have it's debut next Tuesday and I hope that it will be fun to play on. I'm looking at a train, but it will be another £30, which I think I will end up paying.

  4. It looks great Kaspar! I feel it could use a little more line of sight blocking terrain. Maybe you should look for a toy train as opposed to a model railroad train & cars.
