Infinity Board Progress

I've been doing entirely too much "designing" and not enough "producing" or painting so I devoted some time while the gf was traveling to put together some of this stuff that I've been cutting out.

First is a small park with hedges, topiary and a statue.

 

 

From a different angle, you can see some baby blue shops on the left, a few street ads and three flower boxes.

 

Same view from a little higher up

 

Here's an overview of the street.  You can see the red long bridge at left and the new jersey barriers in the middle at top.

Here's a little closer view of the street level.  The tabletop is a gray street.  The curbs that are under the buildings are a different piece that can be picked up and moved.  The troops are walking on a crosswalk that's actually painted on the tabletop.  I may paint over them.  Crosswalks turn out to be equally well painted on a piece of plasticard that is easily movable where the tabletop paintjob isn't.

Here's what the street looks like from the point of view of the 1K Sons

 

Still a TON of work to do on this board.  Plenty of designs that haven'been cut out.  Hoping my next post is the Mag Lev train.

Terrain Storage

Someone asked what my system was for storing terrain.  This is a quick post for that.

First step - Folding Tables (courtesy of Cyric).  This allows for a gaming area to be converted for games and then back to a family area with only a little effort. 

Next - A rolling shelf unit holds all the books, game craft and terrain pieces.  To keep them dust free and protected, I put terrain in storage containers.

Storage containers - I generally put my terrain in labelled storage containers so I can get to it easily and keep it dirt/dust free.  It also makes it easy to move and store in the garage or basement.  Stackable, water resistant, $4 each on sale.

Build small - I rely heavily on scatter terrain and re-usable pieces between game systems.  You can change it around for infinite variety.

Flat terrain is preferred.  Where terrain goes vertical, it is usually nested and stackable.  It must fit in a storage container.
I gave away all my centerpiece terrain because it doesn't store easily in a 14" x 20" space.

Tabletops -- You can change your whole scene by changing from an open field to desert terrain to a water colored board.  Tabletops store flat against the wall.

A good storage system in the basement also helps keep you organized.
