    Hi Everyone and thanks for the welcome and advice.

    Here's the latest state of play.

    Following reading some of the comments I have rounded off the corners on the pavement and also flipped and rotated some of the yellow line to break up the uniform pattern (the yellow lines are just a textured fill in yellow). I've also removed half of the drains (I got carried away ) I also added the concrete for the warehouse (requisitioned for use as an aid station 12 hours into the rising) loading yard.

    With that sort I then started on the floor textures for the buildings. I always like to build these things literally from the ground up. I have used a variety of textures here ranging from carpet for the offices in the warehouse, and adult book shop (small brown carpeted building), clean white tiles for the local deli, dirty concrete for the mechanics shop, cleaner concrete for the warehouse with dirty white and black tiles for the canteen and toilets.

    Finally, I have added the walls to the map. These are currently simple black wall (I find nothing says wall better than a thick black line ) but I may replace this with a wall texture.

    The whole is brought together in the final thumbnail without gridlines.

    Now to do the intro bit in the other forum lol.

    More later.

    John

    After seeing the intro maps, you've set the bar quite high so I'm very interested in seeing this progress.

    Hehe, I'm enjoying doing this one, which of course makes a big difference, although i think the lighting will be fun on this map.

    OK not had a lot of time today, but I have added doors and windows to the walls, two loading bays have been added to the warehouse, some steps up to the warehouse have also been added to the main floor layer.

    Added some furnishings (ok I have done the toilets and a basic office bit, plus I have added two maintenance pits to the autorepair shop.

    I have also been adding to my blood and gore object collection but I am a way off using them

    More as it comes.
