Coming Soon...new battlefield

Greetings everyone,
 I decided I wanted my battlefield back...so the slot car track had to go.  We're replacing all the 1950s doors in the house with new ones, SO....I've got a new table, this time I'm working right on the wood and not going thru styrofoam. I'm going to build it against the wall all around the room. I'm figuring I got about 35 feet of space in length and about 2 and a half feet in width, which frees up the center of the room. As you can see from the pics the room is quite large. I have about 40 buildings to work with.
I dont know if I'll use them all or add to them....we will see. This time around I want to make this battlefield / town as real as I possibly can.  Coming soon.

    Wow! You have so much energy and creativity! The first battlefield was awesome, as was the slot car track - I can't wait to see this new battlefield!

    Kind Regards,

    Looking forward to see how your project unfolds. As great as the racetrack was (btw. What happened to it?) a battlefield this size will be even more impressive.

    Bring it on Captain! What a wonderful experience to watch you grow your battlefield/town from the base up - something I know I will find so inspirational.

      Thank you Rodger...I'm looking foreward to mud filled roads, dead trees and burned out houses. It will look like war was hell.

      For some reason , i wasnt into the track like I was 10 years ago and I have to much time in the miniatures to shelf the Civil Wr project. I have the room to do them both
      but I'd rather spend the time on the Civil War.
