Very nice. Who does the chain link fence and who are the buildings from?

I bought some of those chain link fences on eBay. They are perfect for gaming. The bases are white so they need painting like darclegion did. Unfortunately I can't remember the manufacturer and the boxes are long gone.

they are christmas fencing…forgot the manufacture…close to O scale. I think. The buildings are various train bldgs that you can buy. I just weathered them all. and put in windows..

here's a few pages on my blog of the weathering process and buildings I made. I made or weathered or kit bashed about 50 bldgs took about a year to do all of them. All from O scale train bldgs and so on.

That's a great looking game.

I was especially taken by the traffic lights. Are they purchased or scratch built? Do they get in the way of play?

darclegion10 Jan 2018 6:20 p.m. PST

The lights were kits I made and painted. I use glue stick to temporarily keep them in place and no they don't get in the way.

And thank you. I had fun making them all.

The detail on your board is terrific and intimidating. If only I had the time… (but who am I kidding, I would never get that of results)

Thanks, I just used glue and printed out paper, and you can find a lot at Hobby lobby. Pretty easy, just time consuming. Glue stick and paper and a printer and the internet, no skills really. But thanks!

I haven't even read all the links yet and I HAVE to say, your photo 'down the hallway', is amazing.

Thanks for the inspiring words also.
I think you make a good point 'all' of us could do really good terrain, but we 'doubt ourselves so we don't even try."

I'm glad you 'tried', it paid off, this Rocks!

Not being familiar with model railroading 'scale ratings', I was going to ask what does "O' scale come closest too. However this was listed on your blog as 28mm Apoc; also the miniatures look a great deal like some of the '2nd run' of WGF survivors, or of WLG's.

one of the biggest challenges many have spoken of, finding vehicles that 'fit' to the scale of the game.

The game does look great
