I bought 2 of these. the extra buildings make a good size city. the extra trees and the forest 'foot print' tiles are fantastic.

[@DrBanzai]

Totally agree!

[@bruced648]

@DrBanzai to improve my products value, I've based and flocked the trees. I have also built, glued and based the buildings. hopefully, this will extend the wear and tear life of these.

[@DrBanzai]

That’s actually a great idea. I ended up using white glue on the trees to keep them from slipping apart.

[@bruced648]

@DrBanzai for the trees, I used cardboard from a cereal box, cut into 1" squares. some Elmer's glue and flocking later, and I have quite the forest. for the buildings, I used foam core board with about an 1/8" edge around the base of the building. then used some craft acrylic black on the foam core. final step, use more Elmer's glue to attach them. 24 hours later, I have a city and a forest. now I'm deciding if I want to put in that much effort for the cardboard mechs. since I bought a copy of clan reinforcements, I have over 300 to make.
