I’ve done about all I can before the convention this weekend. There is almost no end of the detail I could keep adding … but this is good enough for now.

Baghdad Parade Grounds Boards Progress
This project is going right up to the wire. It’s early Tuesday morning right now and I’ve got to have these boards at a convention in Los Angeles on Friday. It’s going to be close. Honestly, they could go just as they are right now .. but I really want to get a lot more detail added before Friday and if I can somehow manage it I would love to get one more row of boards on the east end of the set.

- The water in the pond is going in one layer at a time. It looks a little white in this photo but it dries clear

- The three boards at this end were added tonight.
-
- I’d like to add three more boards to this end if there is time before Friday
-
- I’ll be plating about 60 palm trees tomorrow
Progress on the Parade Grounds boards
Well, the convention in Los Angeles is exactly 2 weeks away and I still have lots to do to finish these boards … so the sensible thing to do at this point was to add another row of three boards to each end of the setup.
Now the entire array will be 3 boards wide and 6 boards long (5′ x 12′)
Here are the three boards being added to the west end of the parade grounds.
Parade Grounds Progress – 8/12/14
Ground covering is going in and it’s starting to take shape. Still lots of work to do south of the buildings in the parking lot areas and the southwest and southeast corners where there will be a lot smaller buildings.

- I’m actually placing the bushes based on locations for satellite photos. Yes, I’m a little crazy.

Started adding some ground texture tonight. I’ve got a long way to go but I hope to get these boards done in time for the Labor Day weekend convention in Los Angeles.
You want biscuits with that?
Tonight I got the idea to make my boards accept biscuits just in cast any of them warp a little over time or if I ever set them up on a surface that is not totally flat. The biscuits will keep all boards perfectly aligned.

A 40″ x 40″ game board representing a generic WWII European destroyed city. There are just over 200 buildings making up this city.
WWII Bombed City, Nearly Done
Sometimes…
Sometimes you just need to pick up a bottle of glue and put together 40 buildings or so…
