(Takes of Glasses) Mother of God...

This is incredible. Please be my friend so I can play on this.

That is pretty spectacular

Holy S**tballs! That is incredible! Great job!
Michael Bay eat your heart out - THIS is how you make EPIC!

10 gold stars!

Kudos to you my friend!

Not only is the construction awesome, but the theme is what I would pick as well.

I could literally play Sentinels vs. Mutants forever and have fun with it.

Amazing work.

This map is awesome. Would love to play on it.

I use these as bystanders. They're great for scenario play. In most scenarios they simply block LOF, but we also routinely play scenarios (Arkham Asylum, Galactus) where you have to rescue them.

I have another tub of zombies as well.

We play pretty regularly at Emerald Knights in Burbank, but all my maps are modular and travel in a few boxes if need be. I've been known to take them as far as Chatsworth for a good game. Where do you usually play?

For this build, each player brought a "good" team, and a "bad team." We rolled to see who got to play which. We gave all generic robots the Sentinel keyword (though no one used that option). There were also a few bonuses if you brought a comic accurate X-men heroes or villains team, which everyone did.

The only real special rule that we always follow, is we use actual LOF to determine when you can or can't be seen. I always bring a few extra LOS tools to help determine.

Everyone starts somewhere. I am constantly refining my skills. If you look even at this map, you can see which buildings are older, and which are newer. There are a ton of resources for easier scratch built buildings, and as you continue to build you rely less and less on printables, and more on your own abilities.

I can say, it's a lot of work, but always SO much fun when the game is underway.

LOL. I have a huge poster collection, mostly gained from years of working in Video Stores, Movie Theaters, and now in PR. I rotate the posters based on common themes, some are easier than others, superheroes for example takes like 30 seconds to come up with. For this one, however, I needed to use a lesser Spielberg flick to fill out the 14 frames.

Cool points if you can look over the posters in shots and determine the theme.

Good eye. Those cons are technically from our Arkham Escape scenario, but I figured that some ex cons would be lingering around after the Sentinel destruction of NYC.

Actually, it isn't as much money as it is time. I have never bought foam core. Most of it comes from either a friend who frames posters and art for a living. The rest comes from mounted posters that my PR friends and colleagues would just throw away when they're done. That's the biggest expense covered.

Otherwise, it's just paint, card stock, drinking straws, googley eyes, and some basic modeling tools and parts.

I'm big on sales too. The cars are all either painted cheapy toys from TRU rescue buckets on super sale, or dollar store toys.

I've actually finally started on tutorials. You can check out how to make the lamp posts here.

Up next will be a tutorial on creating the map tiles themselves.

All the pieces break down. The map tiles are 2' x 2' and live in a stack behind the couch. The buildings all break down into pieces and are stored in long or short comic boxes.
