Title: Does Anyone know about ww2 terrain tutorials.
Post by: Bubbles on 06 February 2012, 12:05:23 PM

I am looking for terrain tutorials on how to make various pieces of scenery for a WW2 table. I have found a few tutorials on architects of war, great escape games and matakishi's tea house but i was wondering if there are any other terrain tutorials, even if the terrain tutorials are based on WW1 terrain it doesn't matter since they're pretty much the same and i wanted to make a trench board anyway.

There is a pictured report on how to build a ww1 trench board.
The club is a German club but maybe - if you email them - they write back and give you hints.

If you want to make bocage, I found this one:
http://www.cmhweb.org/Files/Terrain/Building_Bocage_Hedgerow_in_25mm.pdf

Or this: http://www.elladan.de/013%20Bocagne/013.htm I used this flock idea. the moss with the noch leaf flock. Gives very nice results.

Ow and, on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheTerrainGuy/videos?sort=da&view=u  <<-- This guy. I used his oasis foam idea on 28mm to great effect. He has alot of videos up about making flames of war terrain, but you can easily adapt it for 28mm, depending on which scale you use :)

What type of buildings are you looking for? Civilian houses or factory complexes or shops?  Military camps, dug in defences?

You may find a search for Levittown interesting - this was to be a standard design house.

mainly just the civilian side of things for the time being.
