http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lHi all!
During this week end there was a games convention near the Lyon city here in
France. For these two days we ran demo games and answer questions (a lot!)
from public, i also manage to ran an initiation game late in the night. Took
some picture from our urban board for this event, here is the link if you want
to take a look at it:

Agreed, but where are the space ships?!? ;->=
Shows the amazing work you can do with, what I assume is, foamcore and
aquarium plant. Very nice, indeed.
Did the questions ("(a lot!)") seem positive? Mr Tuffley, I'm certain, would
love to hear of more enslaved, er converts.
Jon, does raise the question of where the Euros are coming from: how do
various countries rank in customer volume? Not asking for accounting figures,
just a sense of where the base lies.

Well, we have quite a number of customers in Scandinavia, a few each in
France, Germany, Spain, Holland and Italy, and a small handful in
Eastern Europe (Poland, Hungary etc) - but all these put together are
just a tiny fraction of our UK and US/Canadian customer base.
Any publicity and promotion anywhere is always very welcome from our
point of view, but especially in mainland Europe..... :-)

Depressingly nice terrain, in fact. I suppose it's time to get started for
next February's ECC.

Nice buildings!
I downloaded a few of your pictures, for inspiration.
How did you make the rubble?
Did you airbrush the buildings?
What are the buildings made of? They look like they are made of either
foamcore (foamboard) or cardboard.

Just save all your packing material and you'll be set. ;-)

http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lThanks all for your
comments!!! Took me 3 weeks to do this board and it was rush work and
stressfull as it was my first real attempt making such scenery! In the
beginning i had planned a lot of detailing on buildings (bullets and rockets
holes, stairs etc...) and on the board itself (shells craters, ground road
signalling, street lights...) but i had to make some choices to finish in
time, by now could take my time and do it quiet! Just to answer Allan
questions:
Rubbles were made mixing fine sand + small aquarium gravel + foamcore
small bits + water diluted PVA glue. I use a large brush for floors, to
leave just a small amount of the mix, and put in place on the ground with a
small spoon. Buildings were cut from 3 mm foamcard boards and based on 3mm
MDF. Spray paint for the whole with black undercoat (10 to 20 cm away),
followed by gray (30 cm away) trying to spray by light strokes and a
final light grey highlight near 40/50 cm away with lighter strokes.
Caution spraying eat the foam so you need to undercoat edges first, i didn't
do it as i was in hurry! TiYo
> Caution spraying eat the foam so you need to
I think this just added to the great damaged look. ;->=
Small improvement might be some 'structural beams and pipes' extending out of
the rough edges of damaged floors and walls, but that's for a more relaxed
build.

First attempt, and you got those results in only three weeks?? Don't mind me,
I'll just be looking for aspirin here...
> >Took me 3 weeks to do this board ....my first real attempt
You should feel especially proud then. Usually it's Laserlight giving
the headaches..... :-)

to hear you had extra complications, as well.
