You are going to need a bigger shed!

Great looking table and I love the fact you could play any 20th century based game on it...
Hope tomorrow goes well

This is brilliant - inspiration to push on with mine

That is a mighty impressive table.  Every time I look at it I spot some extra little detail. The dressing station, the midwife, the crashed Sopwith and fire crew.  I could go on and on about every detail.  There are just so many.  It take back my impressive table comment.  It is a stupendous table.   :o :o :o

Thanks everyone but please send your thanks to Tym as well as he did the urban and industrial half of the board, without his wonderful scenery it would have been no where as good...

It looked great in person, and I think was my favourite thing in the show that I didn't get to take home with me. I have put several ideas in my mental swipe file.
