Our club ran a Mech Attack scenario at Little Wars, and we scaled it up to 28mm to create a pretty awesome visual spectacle. You can read the batrep here: link And here is probably the coolest photo to come out of one of our games in a long time. If this doesn't make you want to read the whole batrep, you obviously don't like giant robots. :)
And here are a couple more:

Glad you liked the buildings. -We built them of smaller crates of the type used for CDs and DVD storage. -The white ones are unpainted. The rest were painted with various sprays, especially KRYLON camo sprays with "fusion" (sticks to plastic). -Some were lightly drybrushed. -Roofs are made of pieces of roofing tile. -The windows are pieces of cardboard painted with streaks of blues, purples and whites. -They they all got a few coats of spray matte varnish. Some were made a bit differently, but that's most of it. The roads are also cutup roofing tiles. |

Clear acetate would work well for windows, too. Attach it to the inside of the walls and paint it on the inside. Gives you the color, but with a reflective glass-like surface facing out. |
