Title: Market-Garden Table...
Post by: V on August 27, 2017, 08:57:02 PM
Still a few more buildings to arrive...

The idea was to have a set of generic terrain to suit the various areas of Market-Garden and to give the games set in Holland the right visual key. The terrain tiles make 6 x 4 or 8 x 4 layouts, and as all the terrain is drop on, it can go on the usual big table for larger games.

Another spectacular set up. Are the buildings scratchbuilds? I like the moss on the roof tiles, nice touch.

Wow.  That is gorgeous...I second the question - where are the buildings from?  And I absolutely love the back garden idea - I am stealing that for my next set of tables.

Most of the buildings are scratchbuilt by a chum.

He's very good! Hats off!
The texture of the walls is paper I guess?

Superb stuff.

The gaming group I've been attending is still stuck in the majority-40K kind of phase with tables of equal mediocrity --- I'm trying to push more and more to step up the game.  I'd kill to see a table like this at my club. :D

Be careful -  if you push too hard, they'll just start paying you to make the tables and paint the buildings.  That's what happened to me.

I still love this table - and especially since we have been pulling our Market Garden Bolt Action out recently.

Excellent table! Did you use towels for the grass mat, out of curiosity? I've some old green towels about the right color and am curious how they would look in-situ.

As a dutchman, I think I have been there.  lol Very well done, none of the theme breaking rocks or hills some have on their MG tables.

Yes, they are dyed towels.

What they all said!

Its great to see Dutch looking houses on a table, they have quite distinctive roof shapes which aren't often available on models which tend to be more German or French in style.

Just curious, is there any type of "expiration date" or something on older threads? I found this one on a search but can't see any of the pictures that were originally attached. Am I doing something wrong?I really want to see this table! Haha...
