The bombed-out town 13 November UPDATE

I scratch build most of my terrain pieces, one, its very expensive to get from overseas, two I enjoy the process of working with bits and pieces of stuff to create something that looks (hopefully) really good. I am busy making a bombed-out town for 15mm FOW, I use normal box card for the buildings, I use card from paper boxes for the building walls as it is thin enough for 15mm and thicker board from packing boxes if i need to make a stair case, I started my town a while ago and never really got any further, now the challenge is on to finish it. I have planned the base size and the height to  fit into a computer screen box for storage. I usually work with a basic plan, which changes as the work progresses. The miscalculation I made with this is the Masonite board I have used as a base was the thin type which has warped, I will need to add to straighten it, in future the tempered Masonite will be a better option.

Phase 1:

 Kitty litter is good for rubble
 I use printed flooring and glue it to the board
 A normal clear adhesive glue works well on the board
