Digi Q Diorama boards

I started this in soneone elses thread and thought I should prolly start a new thread. Sorry bout that epoxy.
Anyway here is some tank boards that me, the wife, and her son did up for some warfare gaming and fun.
There are a few pics and I hope I can do this right. Seems to work and post as "thumbnails", but actual pic size is 1280 x 960.
Hope this works ok and i keep within rules......

Although it is a bit tight, there is lots of little paths for the tanks to drive around on. And being limited for space, we live in a small mobile, this thing is fold up. It has lights, a plane crash, and burning buildings. It is all HO scale and the tanks are pretty close to scale in it. I want to thank all who share their info. You also helped make this possible.

Here is a couple with the tanks in the pics. Same board.
See the T34 hiding behind the rock pile? And the little tennis shoes hanging from the power lines, (we used to throw our old shoes up the power lines as kids..lol).

Here is a pic of the "desert combat" mode. It can be set next to the city and play on both fields. But as you go over the "line" it is something of a "Time & Space" jump. So now we have a mountain range to go from the city to the desert. But these pics are just the "Desert Combat.

Ok heres the mountain pass. Not very good pics. And what you cant see is the "gold mine". I have set up velcro hitches on all the tanks, and have velcro "tow bars" on two lightweight ho scale trucks. I also made a trailer with gold in it and you can back up to it and "get the gold". We play a game kinda like capture the flag with the trucks and the gold. But it turned out more like "steal the truck". You have to go get the opposing teams flag truck and bring it back to your camp. Then go get the gold for bonus points. And then if you still got some battery left go get your flag truck from the other guys. Hehe

Ok here is an idea of the game setup. Home base with a flag, your flag truck, and then the gold.
Here i have both flag trucks and getting the gold back to camp.
And just backing up to get the gold.

that looks great garcol, lot's of details all around.
it looks like you realy spent some time building this.
it's not so small if you put them all together.
i specially like the burning buildings, searchlights, velcro hitch idea,
and the idea that you actually can steal/fight over something.

the T34 hiding behind the rock pile? where ? lol

also nice that they fold-up, it must save a lot of space.

thanks for posting.
