My apologies for the poorly punctuated title - just a little joke.
Modern
While I was playing my WW3 games I realised that while I had plenty of city terrain I did not really have any town terrain. This was also true of my Victorian gaming.
For the modern city I needed new roads and a town area, plus I needed to vary the colours of my buildings from boring grey.

Not perfect, need to add cars and other scatter terrain but much better than the town from my post earlier in the year.
Victorian
Then I decided I had to update my Victorian towns. This required the purchase of some additional buildings that I got from Outland terrain who have some nice N Scale buildings both as kits and 3D prints. The Victorian ones are all 3D prints but the modern ones (in the photo above in the middle and top right are kits usually, the silo is a 3D print.
The Victorian ones are all 3D prints and all designed very cleverly and are assembled just like a kit. Like the modern version I have to add more scatter terrain, in this case trees and bushes and barrels etc.

 |
| The wharf and light house. Just in case I decide to have a seaborne invasion. Both 3D prints. I could use them for moderns as well |

When I made the roads and town bases for the modern and Victorian towns, I made the print outs. The river came from Wargames Vault that has lots of files for roads, all better than the ones I made and very cheap.
I printed everything onto 200gsm paper and then stuck to self sticking vinyl tiles that are easily cut to shape. The tiles are quite thin - about 2mm, but have enough weight to lie flat and not move about.
The tiles are $2.50 from Bunnings so the whole project is cheap.
The river looks good, much better than anything I could do. I am thinking I may experiment with adding flock to the edges so it blends with the table more.
Jungle
Over time I have bought a lot of cheap palm trees from Aliexpress for no real reason other than they were cheap. I then decided I needed to create a jungle for Captain James T Cook to battle through so also bought some cheap bushes and Bamboo groves

Based on CDs/DVDs. As Stalin said - quantity has a quality all of its own.
It all looks quite ominous from side on - who knows what creatures dwell within it- certainly the Chompers from the previous post and also the various monsters painted in July last year. Captain James T Cook is going to need a lot of luck or firepower to make it through.
