Dystopian Car Battle Table - 5 - Finished and Done

The dystopian car battle table is complete and being used for gaming. The fabric sheet underneath is sized 6 x 10 feet, so big games can be run for cons. Compatible with Gaslands, Axels and Alloys, and other 20mm vehicle based combat games. Perhaps I will see you at KublaCon next time....

 

Being enjoyed at KublaCon 2018

Dystopian Car Battle Table - 4 - Hyatt Regency Hotel

KublaCon is always an event to look forward to. What better way to enjoy the con than to incorporate the convention into your convention game! For more miniature inception see this post.

This piece will be the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport building blown apart. Featuring the main entrance and rear curved wall, multiple stories and open atrium construction. If you have been to KublaCon, hopefully it feels familiar. 


Here is the actual building for reference:



 Built from the same components as other parts; foam core, plastic sheet, base ten blocks.

Fully Painted

Dystopian Car Battle Table - 3 - 76 Gas Station

Nearby the Hyatt Regency is a 76 Gas Station. Interesting enough there are 76 gas stations on both Broadway and Millbrae Ave. The station is in three parts; the convenience store, pump islands and the pricing sign. All crafted out of plastic sheet. If you eyes caught those bright orange posts, they are base ten blocks. See your local math educator for details.

 

 

 

 




Pump It

Fuel nozzle creatively crafted from a plastic goat. Was sure to enjoy the Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock first.

 


Paint Time

White, red, black, and grey all go into the mix until done. Pigments added too for dusty effects.

Dystopian Car Battle Table - 1 - Highway & Overpass

This documents the building of a large table layout for 20mm car combat games. Specifically made for the Axles and Alloys rule set. Check out the free rules download if you are interested. It could be used for other systems such as Gaslands.


The design of the board is to represent the location of the KublaCon gaming convention in Burlingame, CA. Build features include: section of Highway 101, an overpass, gas station, Burlingame arch sign, and the location of KublaCon, the Hyatt hotel.


Highway 101

The highway roads are built out of vinyl tile, Crescendo French Grey 12x12.They have textured finish that worked well to simulate roads without much effort. They were just cut to shape and edges roughed up to look like broken up roads. Then road striping added to finish up.



 

 

Overpass

Built from pink foam and some PVC pipe. Graffiti is ink jet printed artwork glued on. The overpass is a little scaled up so that it would still work with 28mm miniatures, since that is the bulk of games we play use. Not much to say. Hot glue to get things together followed by paint.
