Here is a photo from a recent game we played using All Things Zombie. The figures are 15mm. I bought them from Rebel. Very nice figures – highly recommended. The shopping mall is a slightly converted version of the board from the "Hannah Montana Mall Madness" game. You can pick one up on ebay for a reasonable price and it fits perfectly with 15mm figures. I have not posted photos here before so lets hope this shows up.

Looks great! I'd love to see more pics of the "mall" too… thanks for posting! How did your game go? |

Great idea! Any other pics or suggestions on mods for the board? |

The "Mall Madness" game board could be used right out of the box. However, it has a lot of garish colors that detract from the look of a miniatures game. The first thing to do is get some gray spray paint and spray the wall pieces and the center island. The originals are a purple color. The next problem is the parking lot and grassy area outsde the mall. I covered those with some grass paper from the hobby store and some gray paper I found in the craft section at Hobby Lobby. The arches at the entrance to the mall were spray painted gray witha mall sign printed on the printer and glued onto the arch. The interior was left largely "as is", but could have used some more work. The escalator rails would look better painted silver, for example. But overall, the cartoony colors work OK for the inside of the mall. Here is an overview of the entire board: link This was the starting point for the scenario. The cars are from one of those "Toobs" you find at Hobby Lobby. You can see the re-done parking lot, grass, walls, and entry arch here. link The view from inside the mall, right before the shooting started: link |

Yep, used it many times at Cold Wars, Millenium Con, and many more. Excellent prop. |

Nice find! We should start a thread on toys that can be repurposed for 15mm scifi… I think with suitable painting the mall could easily be a space station interior as well. |

Oh that's just Great! Now I have to get TWO! of them one for my zombie games, and one to do up for my sifi stuff. |

After I played in Ed's Game, we got one as well :) |

Ordered the boardgame – it just arrived today. Postage was a bit prohibative, but it's still cheaper than buying terrain specifically designed for 15mm. I'll see how it goes as a space station. I'm thinking it may be a base for players. |

How about the main hub for a space port the place to go, port authorities, customs office, military liaison office, etc |
