End of Day 1:

Image

The elevated roadway is mostly complete.

Image

On the other side, there is a hospital, a WIP police station, and a WIP burger stand. All need interiors.

Image

Wall detail. This side will become a swamp and USA staging. Also, I am out of tan bricks. And Dark Bley Bricks.

Image

And white 1 x X bricks.

Image

Hospital floors and roof are removable.

Image

This side will be the Immortal starting point, a rail yard, and some more buildings.

So pretty. I'm interested to see what the finished product will look like.

that is a lot of planning for just a generic battlefied! haha planning on keeping it up for a long time or hosting a forum battle on it? I find building buildings on seperate baseplates can be beneficial; easier to reuse and rearrange them

I really wish I had the time, space and bricks to pull something like this off.

I also love that hospital silent, looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Man, I can't wait till this becomes a forum battle! Hopefully I can claim control of the USA forces.

Nice Death Wall you got going on there.

You should put in a huge gate at the road.

That building standing over the railtrack; :<3:

Not sure about leaving the rails in disrepair though. It's a great opportunity to have a secret faction armoured-death-train roll in to spice things up half way through. Or maybe for a convoy train to break down in the middle of a battleground. All the same it's your battle, and I'm looking forward to it.

I think it looks fine. Is it playeable with bouth lines of sigth and fair amount of cover. From all the four sides?

I like the unkept railway. May I suggest some debree there, like crates or a ruined traincart to enhance the "out of order" look. :)
