Here is a quick post concerning the Automobiles for the City/ Factory board. I decided to mount them on small basses so the could have the rubble modeled on them. The brick rubble is from PMDs City block series. They were primed black and then painted from there. I researched the time and found the colors that were used for Autos then.
These were a lot of fun to do, each base was a miniature dirama for the table, it does limit where you place them on the table depending on the items on the base but they dont get moved around druing game play by players trying to make room and such and really adds to the theme of the board. I later removed the lamp post from the one auto so I could have more options where to place it.
A interesting note, I used floor tile for the bases because they are nice and thin, already have a texture on them and the dont warp.
