15mm Post Apocalyptic Zombie Tiles
So I got the idea for these 6x6 terrain tiles while watching Akira with Doctor Merkury, more specifically the tiles with the burnt out cars( I had planned for some time to break up pieces of the Child Guidance building sets for 15mm ruins). The idea came while watching Tetsuo or Toshio, or Yu-Gi-Oh, or whatever the hell his name was blow up big chunks of Neo Tokyo. Anyway, I ordered a bunch of pre-cut MDF boards and started making these up. The cars are all dollar store cheapies. I'm pretty happy with the results. The tiles will fit nicely on my city streets gaming mat that I made and should look pretty cool for my zombie games and post apocalyptic games. In case anyone is wondering the LOTR 15mm fantasy projects will be put indefinitely on hold. I am doing some commission work right now as well as a secret zombie project with Doc Merkury.....more on that later.

ReplyDeleteGreat looking terrain! Your boards are awesome! Can I come and play with you?
ReplyDeleteThat's Funny, Doc Merkury asks me that all the time ;o)
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome. You should make me some.
ReplyDeleteHA! No.
ReplyDeleteFine, I'll make my own. I just need to know where you got the MDF.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, it looks almost exactly like Atlantic City once you get away from the casinos.

I was actually channeling Las Vegas, one block out from The Riviera, but yeah same idea.

ReplyDeleteNo, feel free. If anyone steals this idea I learned that you should primer spray the MDF boards before gluing anything to the boards or they'll warp a bit...and I continue to eternally suck at this hobby.

Where did you get the MDF btw. I was planning on using the larger tiles the www.miniaturescenery.com guys sell. But I'd like to know my options.
ReplyDeleteI'm planing on using N scale building kits to make my ruins as I couldn't find any Guidancetown USA sets.

ReplyDeleteI think, it's under "hardboard" and I used the 6x6 tiles. Very reasonable I thought. I have my friend Al to thank for that tip and the priming first tip....which he gave me too late.
