1) It would be a monumental undertaking.
2) I felt they might get in the way of the actual play.
I went over to DM Scotty's Facebook group and made an inquiry about what other people do to handle this. I had an idea from DM scotty already, but wanted to see what else people had come up with. In the end I decided to go with a building front system. False fronts to give the impression of buildings without the bulk allowing the layout of streets and other city features. Scotty's original youtube video on these is located here: Tilescapes: Building fronts.
I have now begun working on these so I can make a few simple and interesting layouts.
In addition to the pieces I am working on below I have completed 3 test fronts, and have 2 blank walls ready to be painted (assembled and primed).
Going forward I am going to use a measured base so I can make some uniformly size pillars to place as corners or building divisions to tie the fronts together.
 |
| Started laying out 6 fronts. In this case 5 full size ones and 2 1/2 size ones to add a little variation and interest when they are set up. As well I have made some sketches on the front to remind me what I am doing with each. |
 |
| Pieces cut out with a sharp knife and beginning to cut out doors and windows. |
 |
| Cutting some texture and depth elements for a stone/wood building. |
 |
| Texture pieces glued down with a combination of hot glue and white glue. |
 |
| Adding some detail to one of the end caps. |
 |
| A selection of the building fronts. Still two more basic walls to do from this set. One will be a wall with windows and one a solid wall. |
