"My son's post-apocalyptic layout for Tomorrow's War" Topic

Will is off to college and wanted a portable layout for his post-apocalyptic version of Tomorrow's War.

More pictures at link

Looks fantastic…It looks like the "hood" I work in…

Very nice indeed. I thought it was a picture of a real building at first; then I looked at the "sky" behind it.

Looks great! I like that he came up with some fluff to justify his setting. Thumbs up for that.

Excellent!

Really nice work. The cracked sindows are a great touch. Theplayground really gives me a creepy feeling.

Wow! Very cool. He does excellent work. I'd be a proud papa too. :)

Wow! I too thought I was looking at a real building when the picture first popped up.

Looks like a case of the student has become the master eh?

I really hope my son takes to wargaming. Of course he has to learn to walk and talk first…

Awesome work. I would like to know where he got the buildings. Excellent painting and detail work on them too!

Excellent stuff.

assuming studies and girls at Indiana University don't get to him first

Chuckle, aye there is that.

@Terrement: he agrees with you. He has rubble piles, burned out cars, etc., as add on terrain pieces in the works.

@Jovian1: most of them are model RR buildings that he has heavily converted. Mostly Walthers, Model Power and DPH kits or parts.

Very nice work. The broken windows are a nice touch.

What a beautiful table. Great job!

So I take it his games are set in Detroit?

One trick he learned on the windows is that you can use clam shell miniatures packaging to cut up for the windows. Then simply spray the whole model with Dull Coat after painting. The windows "frost" naturally. Then he went in with a little white to do the edges and highlights.

Nicely done!

And that's not Detroit – the streets are way too clean

That is some seriously good work!

That is a nice setup! Hope the game goes well.

Holy Cow! Makes the stuff I played on in college (green felt and masking tape) look really poor.

Love that set up.

Well done and a great idea.

Stunning stuff! Saved a few shots for my own reference.

:D

Looks like it should, good job kid.

Consider me envious… Great looking stuff there.

Might be one of the better neighborhoods in Detroit.

Could also be Washington DC or Philidelphia.

Philadelphia is not that bad!…

Well, most of it…

Well, some of it…

Anyways, how did he do the windows?

Great job!
Thanks for sharing.

Great buildings. The weathering on them is fantastic.

I love it! I wouldn't have any problems using those buildings in modern times. They look like the older side of many cities, or some older smaller cities.

Wow, somehow I missed this. It is awesome! Very nicely done. However, I would humbly suggest that for PA action there are several other choices. Wastelands and Combat Zone are two very good ones!

Thanks,

John

These are truly beautiful… if only Janitoria looked so nice…

Glorious. I have some of those buildings myself. I'm keeping them clean for Pulp and Zombie gaming but the temptation to do the above is almost overwhelming.
It's a good feeling when the kids turn out OK ain't it?
