Its funny sarge, I had that same idea yesterday but couldnt find where i his my palpy.  I'm glad you thought of it too.
Grreat minds!!!!

Ryan, i'll whip up a few buildings/markets for ya.  I have been hesitant to say what figures i will contribute, but i got some ideas floating around in my head for some citizens.

Where is this from?   If i could get one, i can make a few casts for the project. Not too many( the idea being that they migrated when the land was developed , these woulld be the few curious or left behinds)

Let me know

THe smaller 6x8 buildings i had seen as huts. But this can be massaged to be a bit bigger. so insted of 2 maller huts, replace it with one bigger one.
The difference between the colors is the public street vs the private areas. It could all be sand or dirt, but its so we know what is street/open space vs "yard"

Ryan, i think your layout is great. I'm perfectly open to suggestions. I have said from the beginning that these were images to build on, but no one really offered any alternatives till now.

from the start i said to feel free to take some license with this "Concept" and build on it.

I like your layout. The city is not dense enough and very separated. but i think you make some great points about viewing.

But keep in mind if the area given is 9x24 we will have a depth of 9' to deal with. so that is why i oriented my as i did.
Other wise there will be 3 feet in front or behind our diorama.  Or 1.5' if in the middle of the table.

So lets decide quick how to procede.

This is great news NN, thanks for helping out.

SO are we back to the 9 x9 demensions? Like he said the total area is 9x24, there may be alot of others wh want to display their stuff.
So whe shouldnt "hoard" the entire table.

So if we do 9x9, 2 questions. Do we add back a spaceport?  Second, if we are the "center piece of the 9x24 tables and there is area to walk behind, is there place for the "scenic backdrop"? I was thinking it would be in a corner and we would have 2 side to hang the backdrop, but if its in the center of a table that has no "walls" do we do a backdrop at all?

Thoughts?

6x9 layout in the Concept art thread!

Since i'm going to be doing backdrops, i will include the Mining/mountains(9feet) on one and the Spaceport/extended city(6ft) in the other.

So we will not have a space port anymore? 
Just clarifying "2/3 city and 1/3 green."

If this is the case, do i still provide the niche for you to "step into" the project?
Or is it a full 6x9?
