Now if I can find the time to work on it, what with taxes, work, projects around the house, etc….!

Some kind of Ruined Building???

Either that or a ship on it's side...I seem to recall lots of Ships not in water.

All good guesses, but incorrect Mr. Japes Sir!

Forgive me but I think I'll maintain some air of mystery here on this one! That and if I mention it and it doesn't work out they way I want it to, well, no harm no foul right?

Oh and yep, there were lots of ships on their sides!

I like a good mystery.

My guess is a model like this Empire State Building:


I want to have to play on the floor to use it.

That's perfect for my "Kill Kong" scenario!

And imagine, if you're on the street with a gun you can shoot the guy standing on top of the durn building, since he's only 1 or 2 spaces away. You just can't shoot the guy across the street, 7 spaces away. Oh Heroscape.

But having to use something like that Empire State Building on the floor is kinda fun. When we use our Daily Planet building on a table some of our more vertically challenged players have to stand on chairs to reach the top.

And what kinda lever is this lady trying to pull on us? That's what I want to know. They are in the lobby of the building. Perhaps it lights up the top lights? I don't know, it's gotta lot of arcane symbols all over it. A Doctor Doom nefarious scheme perhaps???? She looks the type to me…..

It releases a massive d20 from the ceiling for an initiative roll.

Or from the top of the building, crushing several cars and trucks underneath it! And after that I'd probably still roll a 1.

I think the model (the building) lights up...and its Heidi Klum

I will know my superscape setup is big enough when the wife starts to complain about storing it

Hey, there is plenty of space on those ledges for some hexes!

And yeah, the whole shooting infinity high part is pretty funny. In theory one could shoot a guy on the moon provided it is over your hex. But as you said, not 7 spaces away across the street.

On a serious note, A google search for "Empire state building paper models" produces some interesting results:

That sounds so much like synopsis for the book "14" by Peter Clines. If you haven't read it do yourself the favour.

Hey Grish, what do you use for your textures? Do you make them yourself or take the pictures yourself? fmaybe found a great website? I've got a couple building styles put together or at least drawn up but no textures to put to them. I know my way around the Adobe suite but don't really have the patience to draw up entire textures. I'm looking for some shortcuts so I can spend more free time on other aspects of the terrain.

Google 'building textures'.
Here is a link to one site.

Post pics of your buildings!
