I'm building some wargaming boards but I'm approaching the project just as I would a diorama.

These boards are 1/285th scale and represent a generic middle eastern town.

Hi Allen,

Nice work, and to think that it is 1/285th scale. My only advice is that the mosque should be closer to the city/ town maybe even in the center, I live in the U.A.E and from what I see people walk to the mosque so it has to be close.

Nice work (I like the humvee)!

Yasin,

I don't think he said it was Iraq but a generice middle eastern style town.city.

But it's a great game table.

I know for a fact that there is a McDonald's in Beirut (was there with the U.N. in
1995) and there is loads of McDonalds in Isreal

Yeah well: Friedman was always a bit of a utopist, but that is off topic.

Nice going on the wargaming board, Allan. As for the Mosque location: they come in all forms. Smaller one that are part of city blocks, bigger ones that are city blocks, on squares and some can be a little further out, depending on what ground was available for purchase (it is not common, though since as a religious building, you want easy access for the people.

The mosque itself is reminiscent of the type you would find in the Levant.

Actually as I get more buildings done, the more residential parts of the town will come out to meet and surround the mosque. This is a WIP.
