Okay, I admit it. Even at 44 I'm still a kid at heart and love my toys. My favorite game is Heroclix and when I saw Twilight Street 2 I knew I had to build the theater and supporting surrounding environment for a Batman theme game. For those not familier with the story, Bruce Wayne's parents were killed in a dark alley as they left the movies. It was easy to switch posters so Zorro was playing to closer mimic the comic books and with pieces from the original Twilight Street set I was able to throw in the grid map for the alley and even a lamp post and a couple of other details to add to the mood.
The beauty of the set is if that situation seems to morbid then it's easy to rearrange, replace a few buildings, bring in the good guys and create an environment where good battles evil hopefully overcomes (with some lucky dice rolls).
For what I was wanting to use the set for it did take a little image manipulation to increase the scale. The manipulation was no big deal and was actually educational. The skills I've developed here have already been used elsewhere in other projects - to include work.
