Cracking stuff Al ;D keep us posted
EC
-
@alcal, great to see your stuff again even if it is, gasp, 28mm and not 20mm. fantastic as always. bill
-
Tour de Force! :o
-
Stunning work :-*. I particularly love the way you’ve got a natural curving sweep to the road/building frontages - so realistic.
-
Absolutely wonderful terrain. :-* :-* :-*
-
Lovely work. Are the roads 3D printed as well?
-
Jealous, great work on both printing and painting.
Looking forward to seeing pictures of game in progress.
-
Very impessive.
-
Wow, awesome stuff.
-
Beautiful, where are the files from?
I can feel some money trying to jump out of my wallet!
-
Those are very clean prints 👍 combined with great brushwork.
Wallpaper cobblestones?
-
Wonderful. :-*
On the other hand I hope that this does not mean you are abandoning tradition model making. I still admire your Stalingrad layout build.
-
Stunning work thanks for the inspiration :-* :-* :-*
-
What everyone else has said.
Unbelievably good work.
-
Wow! Impressive as usual! Where did you get the 3D files from??? Links please... :)
-
Lovely work. Are the roads 3D printed as well?
No , wallpaper onto double 2mm MDF although i may change them for 3d resin printed later if all goes well
Cheers AL

That Looks Fantastic!!
If I may ask, where did you get the cobblestone wallpaper?
-
Have you done any tuitions on how you make your scenery.
Or painting guides for buildings.
It’s very excellent.
-
Stunning work :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Al you used to blow me away (and I am sure many otehrs) with your 20mm scenery. The jump in scale gives you even more scope to weave your magic. This is wonderful.
If you don't mind, I am curious why the change to 28mm? Adn what has happened to the wonderful collection you used to have in 20mm?
Richard

Bought it few years ago after sending for a test piece from Graham & Brown and after a 30 min search through my histories i think this is what you need as its still for sale from different outlets as well so search:
Aaron Stone
SKU: 18935

Hi Richard i still have the Crete boards and Nijmegen and the Island,Juno was sold. All my other collections are 28mm and when i moved onto Chain of Command i started skirmishing with 28mm.
I have my Afghan 80`s , Gettysburg, Stalingrad , WW1 , Star Wars , Vietnam Hue City/Boxer rebellion and Ardennes terrain in 28mm and the fir cloths cover AWI, ECW, Renaissance , War of the Roses and Vietnam(20mm) cheers AL
Ps I have to wear glasses to paint now so 28mm easier to see and more open to the artist in me.

Hi Buildings are 3d printed is that the scenery you mean.I used to do pictorial posts of my layouts as i designed and built them but Photo Bucket (still don`t like saying the name) destroyed posts with 4,000 pictures in them.I was derailed for a long time after that, now i post a few odd pics but never to that level anymore.
Cheers AL
-
Looking fab Al :D
I couldn't find that wallpaper on the Graham & Brown website but I didn't find this, which looks like a close match
https://www.wallpaper-it.com/18935-master.html
one other random thought - which you've probably already had! What about shell damage to the roads, gardens, etc? The barrage that knocked all those houses about would have fallen all over the place.
EC
-
At the top of the pictures on page two it says 85% and this is why:
Ok to add , signs , posters , telegraph poles and lines , craters , rubble , shell holes in cobble , trees , dust , garden/park plants and foliage, creepers, so that`s the other 15% cheers AL

Thats the same name and the same SKU number it IS the same paper :-) cheers AL
-
Al. I was thinking more about the setting for your building, the field look great, are the scratch built?
-
Ok i had an 18`x 5` fur cloth and i cut two 7`x 5` out of it and taped them together to create a 7` x 10` the fur is shaved with hair clippers then painted with a badger air brush (the £20 paint comes from the glass jar one) using only water based paint (household emulsion watered down).When it was the full cloth it had wheat fields left taller and painted to suit built in , but shaved them all off and did a re-paint .
Cheers AL

Where do you get 18`x 5` fur cloth? :o
-
Thats a smile at you question , reason is Teddy Bear fur is a cloth hence it is 1.5m wide but sold per linear meter so it can be up to 40-50 meters long but only 1.5m wide,so what i did with it means i now in essence have a 6` x 10` game cloth , cheers AL
Ps in the picture it is more to one side of my 6` x 8`table ,that is so most of the seam is hidden under the road.
-
Thank you.

Ideal for wargames tables, but would make one hell of a big teddy bear.
-
That village is just fantastic. :-* :-* :-* Thanks also for the tips on the teddy bear fur. I have a slightly smaller one I am going to use for the Eastern FRont and it has given me some ideas.
-
There is another way to use it here you can see it in 600mm square boards part of 30 boards for Gettysburg.

Yes but all the pictures were removed by Photobucket .
-
That is a superb little town indeed. i have the same files and printed some of them on an FDM printer, but i have to say your resin prints beat them by far. My resin printer (photon) is to small to print the buildings so have to use my FDM one...
-
You sure you cant slice them up and then re-glue after printing ? I did mine on a ELEGOO SATURN so it does have a bigger build plate but some i still had to slightly reduce the scale or chop up .
Cheers AL

Ah, so 85% means 85% done. Same for 90% etc. 8)
-
Crikey. How long has that taken to print so far?
-
I got the printer on 15th Jan this year cheers
-
Al.
Once you have bought the file for printing the building, how much do you reckon it costs to do one of the Normandy houses.
-
Using the resin printer about £17 each and vehicles about £4 each thats for 28mm if you go 20mm then about £13 and £2.50 cheers AL

Awesome work. Will share around.

Absolutely outstanding. :-* :-* :-*
-
Holy cow that is awesome :o
-
Wowow, great work Al.
-
Clang. That’s my jaw hitting the ground.
Stunning. Would be nice place to live before the war.
-
Stunning :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Yes that would be great I'd love to see that ACW thread back up if possible.

Al
That village is spectacular - so many small details I could look at it all day. Now I want to try and do my own village in 20mm.
Richard
-
How do you do your rubble? Is it just loose scatter
-
Wonderful set up.
All the detail, love it. :-*
Will be spending alot of time looking at the photos.
That means less painted time.
Oh well. ;)
-
Love the scatter of bricks and assorted rubble. Some of the pictures are quite striking too and if tailored properly could probably look like proper pics from the environment of the time! Great work!
-
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Every time I look at one of these pictures I see something new. The little details are fantastic! Bravo!
-
My conclusion. This is like one of those great railways layouts I was taken to visit at Christmas in major departmental stores. Can spend ages looking at and still find something new.
-
Wow, that is crazy good. I’ve seen museum dioramas that can’t touch that!
-
Absolutely amazing set up!
-
Gorgeous - well done Sir
-
Top of the tops!
-
Looks great!
-
That looks awesome!
-
Fantastic picture perfect village! Would be an absolute joy to play over that!
