I'm gonna need more than just office buildings to complete
my large-hex city for OGRE, so I acquired several score hotels and houses from various
Monopoly games, including a couple of variants.
The standard buildings from the original game make for some nice, conventional suburbs for the city of Monopolis. In addition to these plastic pieces, I have some wooden markers as well. Their slightly different size will add some variation to this bedroom community.
I don't know which version of
Monopoly these pastel pieces came from, but they'll make a nice section of town as well, especially once they're painted. I also plan to mix these in with the regular houses and hotels, for some variety to the 'burbs. A coat of light-colored spray paint, and they'll all blend together nicely.
And since a lot of the battles in
OGRE/
GEV scenarios are set in Europe, I figure there will probably still be a few castles around, with some older architecture homes. These bits came from a Disney edition of
Monopoly. Alternatively, I could plunk one of these palaces in with some other game pieces I've seen on EBay to create an amusement park.
Now I need to order some four-inch hexes, then I can start assembling the terrain for the city of Monopolis.

Yeah, I do the same with Battletech. I would use the green houses for Light level-0 buildings, and the red hotels for Light or Medium level-1 buildings. I also have some glassy houses from the Pokemon Monopoly game that I use for additional types of level-1 buildings.
Some excellent opportunities for a really good-looking town there :-) !
Very cool project!
That's a great idea!
