DS: City block WIP

Dear All,

I have almost finished work on a set of city roads for a basic block
system
I am putting together that will sit on my GEO-Hex terrain boards.  I
used
plasticard from slaters uk and layered it to create the sidewalk/curbs.
In
the pictures below you can see the unpainted layout which can be moved
around because all of the pieces are separate sections.

The buildings in the photo are from timecast and were supplied
pre-painted,
they did an excellent job!

The little brass stuck on bits are etched storm drains and service
covers
from langley models UK. I also picked up some trash cans and other road
side
items inlcuding traffic lights from them.  They are 1/485th N gauge
train
scale which makes them larger than DS scale, but they look perfect when
placed on the board, if they were any smaller and they would not be
worth
placing on the board.
