So, Ive been considering picking up and playing 'All Things Zombie', which is, you guessed it, a zombie game, that can be played solo. Getting the figures will be easy - Rebel Minis makes what looks like some cool figures, and Im sure 'zombie hunter' types are a dime a dozen. What was holding me back was scenery...its hard for me to imagine a really good zombie game in a field!
After reading some posts on TMP, I discovered an old toy set called 'Child Guidance Buildings' from the 60s and 70s (and not in production anymore.) I checked out Ebay a few weeks ago, and there were like 3 sets on there....one was $90 (!?!), one was 50ish, and one was $0.99. I got into a "bidding war", and won it for 8 bucks! I figured Id probably get screwed, but what the hell???
Anyway, they came a couple days ago...the box must have had 500 walls in it! Literally! I sat out in my garage last night for at least an hour organizing the pieces and building some stuff (which, I must admit, I had more fun doing than I should have!) Here are some pics:
The building with the red and black top will be a prison/police station (what good zombie game doesnt have a police station???). Also, other assorted buildings.
Some smaller buildings, serving as houses, barracks, etc.

A close up of the jail, and another building
This could serve as an airport terminal (especially if I can modify the 'air traffic tower' to look a little more 'airplaney'). Ive thought playing through an Entebbe scenario might be cool too.
Each "floor" could have some cardboard glued in to make an actual floor, so all of these buildings could have their own levels! They need some paint (dont know anything about painting buildings like this), and some zombies, and Ill be good to go.
Melissa, I hope you arent looking at this this morning! I just brought some more shit into the house!!!
What scale are they?
