Hi guys
Just in the throws of creating a set of 28mm Stalingrad boards , got to finish 6 for June the 10th.
This first part is the sewers and cellars they are meant to have the choice of fully covered or open and damaged with the buildings to have no centre to the base so as to expose the cellars.

Looks fantastic

I dont have Twitter but I've have a habit of taking sneak peeks on your Twitter account and was floored when I came upon this. great that you post here aswell so I can comment.
This is simply amazing. Your layout and use of sewage, cellars and trenches as an sub surface network is truly inspired. Great idea and spectacular execution I can tell already. Very clever with the arches at the end of each sewage section for an "underground" (fake) connection to the next section. Also really nice with the removable "roofs" for the underground network that are sunk into the board, again a really neat solution.
Will you have roads and/or building fixed (ie removable of course but with a given place) on the surface?
Also, what sheet are you using for the walls? They look great.
Really looking forward to follow this project!

Hi Mattias
Yeh the fake ends also represent the arched sewer but just to much to create every where BUT when I put the damaged roofs on I might be able to arch a few of those as well(more work)
No roads the place is a shit hole bombed to crap!
The buildings can go anywhere but I will be mindfull of the cellar size and shape and im thinking that the hole in the building centre will be surrounded by broken floor boards.
The brick paper is off e bay laser print for 28mm its O gauge
The railway marshalling yard will represent the `Tennis Racket` and the factory will be the `Lazur` chemical plant.
Cheers AL

Where did you get the blue styrofoam from i can never find any??
-
Simply wonderful modelling.
-
Bloody hell! That's a bit tasty that is! :-*
Fantastic work. Now you need some of the Eureka factory militia.

Wow! What a project! :o Does your printed brick sheet have texture to it? The bricks look slightly raised on the pictures.

Yes its printed on the back of blown vinyl/anaglipta type wall paper.

Wow. Simply amazing.
You have to keep us up to date on this project. Most of us can only dream of having the space/time/skills to make and play on terrain that wonderful.
-
Awesome!
That's some top level wargames terrain right there.
And thanks for the link to the blue foam too. I've been trying to find a source for it.

This gives an example of the way some buildings can connect to the cellars.

Wow this will be an amazing table. I am following with interest.
-
That is one impressive project you got here. I'm really looking forward to your further progress. Keep it up!
-
Saw this on Twitter - stunning work!
Where is the brick paper from?
-
Brilliant as usual :)

Did you get Jim Bibbly to carve all the individual bricks? :)
Can't wait to see the finished article.
-
omg so following this ... after your stunning Ardennes board, now this ... you sir are a legend!
-
All you will ever need:
http://www.panelsystems.co.uk/product/craftfoam-blue
which size(s) did you use?
-
This looks fantastic!
One technique question: I'd like to cut a small lip out of foam for dropping a board in so it is level with the surface, like you have done. Is there a good trick for doing this you can share?

I made all the downward cuts first to give me my outer vertical edge to a depth of 4-5 mm , then I got a piece of card 3mm less than the foam height rested a new stanley blade/scalpel side ways on and cut the horizontal edge.
Cheers AL

As others have said great work, where do you find the time to do it?
-
Incredible work! Cant wait to see more :o :o :o

Truly, Rattenkrieg.

This is so good it hurts. Some great designs there. It adresses some of my hang ups with many ruins lacking staircases for instance.
I'm interested in if you have planed the surface of the table itself. I'm thinking it is a bit of a conflict of interest in having a heavily bombed surface with a lot of rubble and craters against the possibility of placing buildings in different locations. Or will you have designated places for the buildings and go for elevation/craters/rubble elsewhere?

you totally need one of these stalingrad fountains from eureka. It will be just perfect.

I understand Nic is planning a round, WW2 era version of that.

Im not exactly sure of what your asking but if I explain the layout may be I will hit the right answer.
To make this table as generic as possible but still have as much diorama look as possible im going for an amalgamation of the two types .Some boards will be flat but sand covered as a base and some will be permanent diorama type boards.
The factory boards 2 x 600mmx600mm will be a set piece , and one of the ruins and cellar board will be a set piece as will two of the trench boards , so that's like 5 boards out of twelve with the other 7 boards being flat(including the three sewer boards).
Add to this drop on scatter and rubble and drop on railway and it will give us endless layouts much in the same vein as my WW1 layout.
Also because ive used the 50mm blue foam there is an opportunity to add the river bank leading down to the river, to another set of boards ;D

Buildings are nearly finished just need to add some sand bags and then a final dry brush and brick dust goes on when everything else is finished.

Superb modelling, very impressive and inspiring! And thanks for letting us know your sources, that brickwork sheets look very realistic.

Hi
Needed to create some rolling stock for the boards, the scale is a bit mixed up but here goes:
Russia is narrow gauge in WW2 so HO/OO track is fine but I needed `O `gauge or `ON 30 `Gauge for the carriages. So I cracked of the bogies of HO/OO to match the track and hand built some quick carriages to reach the scale I needed.
Still have to do a couple of flat cars but under advise for my m8 Ade waiting for the early T34`s before sorting theses out.
The open top carriages are metal and will be a grey colour but the rest are wooden and will be a weathered darkish red.
Cheers AL

Hi Richard
Yeh except for the sand and brick in the rubble areas as they are just to big everything else is super glued,makes the job a lot quicker.I use a tub of REACT 20g medium or thick depending.

Fantastic! I really do like the design, with the variations between "jagged" and normal flat top on some of the long walls. All "jagged" would probably been too much.

That is amazing.
Are you going to texture the walls?
Not individual bricks I hope?

Yes one laser cut template that I chop up for everything angled roof,also the small square windows are a template strip as well.not a kit.

Hi guys
Ok that's the factory built that administration building was a toughy to design but happy with it now.
Next step is to destroy the factory then start the internal work and the part roofs.

Al, what are you using to cut your MDF?
Rich
Hi Richard
90% is cut with a `snap of blade full length with tissue paper wrapped around the end i`m holding set against a steel ruler score once properly and then its a guide to scoring several more times for 3mm MDF for 2mm MDF I also get away with using a scalpel .Once cut light quick sand on flat surface with a block both sides and edge .All lines are either tape and ruler measured or using a square.
Cheers AL
I do have a TCT pull saw in the leanto but don't use it much.
Cheers AL
-
very nice progress
-
which size(s) did you use?
Sorry don't think I answered this one , I used the 600mm x600mm x 50mm blue Styrofoam 6 to a pack due to thickness and I ordered two packs for a 6`x 8` overall board.
Cheers AL

Stunning work should there not be a sniper position at the top of the chimney?
Looking like a very interesting table to play on, how are you going to deal with line of sight?
-
I only wrote one sentence to go with this batch of pictures ...and still I get the question............doh!
Yes there is a few cut outs and access points to be done yet.My minicraft drill packed up so I had to wait for the replacements to turn up (came today)
Did you know that the Lasur Chemical works was the location of the Russian sniper school.............who`d a thought huh.
Cheers AL

Alan, where do you store all of your creations?
Looks incredible so far Alan, and cant wait to see the finished board.
You should start compiling a wargaming figure and terrain book in the near future.
Jim
It would definitely have a place in my archives.

The factories will be brick clad.
Cheers AL
How are you doing that amazing brick work?
-
Only just discovered this thread. This is not an ordinary build thread but a wargames terrain Masterclass, and a great job with the wip pictures, very inspirational. As an aside, and this is entirely meant as a compliment, but I felt as if I was being taken through a 3D rendition of all my favourite "Call Of Duty" Russian maps, Stalingrad, Pavlov's House and Railyard. I await the completion of this outstanding piece of work with bated breath. This is not Wargames terrain it is a diorama of museum quality! Truly inspirational.
-
Hi
Managed to add a bit to the layout, working on the roofs and the internal work,the larger two or three pieces will be drop in so they can be swapped around or removed.
Got my Dremel back in action so chimneys next.

I don't know how I missed this thread until now but it is great to see the master terrain builder back at it.
Frikken outstanding work, a real treat for the eyes.
-
Amazing! Where do you/ or how do you make the bricks for the buildings?
-
This is such an amazing project and the amount of detail you achieve in your terrain is just incredible.
Keep up the great work!

superb 8)

Wow! This is great

Alan, where do you store all of your creations?
Looks incredible so far Alan, and cant wait to see the finished board.
You should start compiling a wargaming figure and terrain book in the near future.
Jim
It would definitely have a place in my archives.
Thanks Jim I have over a hundred boards already they are in vertical slot storage in my garage

Hi guys
Finished the chimneys,finished the treble storage tanks,finishes the factory corridor link,changed my mind about the flat black tar roofs and added the ribbed type(note to self.....idiot ).dressed roof stone added.
Next job the chemical vats and I guess that's about it,then its ready for final paint with the rest of the boards.Still have lots of little extra`s to do of course plus about 60 Russians to defend it!
Cheers AL

Hi Guys
Had a good tidy up as needed to lay it out to plot next jobs ,craters , sand bags,bullet holes and sewers.
Oh and those grey boxes are meant to be the chemical vats.

The picture is on magnetic paper I can swap it for one of Adolf before they arrive :-)
The factory was going to be defended by Germans but as with history the Russians never lost it so due to me painting one platoon of Russians plus some support and Ade Deacon painting two platoons of Germans (including one assault pioneer platoon)we`ve swapped the scenario around.
It was Adolf himself who ordered Paulus not to attack the Lazur Cheers AL

Al, you have a wizard's ways with bits of plastic, extruded foam, glue and sand. Your ability to slap the paint on in the right places don't hurt neither. 8)
Thanks for sharing your work in progress shots. They are informative and inspirational as ever. If you did write up a couple of articles, or a wee book distributed perhaps via .pdf, I'd snap it up.

This is really comin around Alan, FANTASTIC JOB!

Hi
Nearly done four jobs left , sandbags,barbed wire,varnish sewer and bullet holes.

Still want a shot!..... :'(

Just a few more sand bags a couple of extra holes in one of the chimneys and I think i`ve finished. want to do some drop on bits like barbed wire and don't forget this layout is designed to take a bucket of scatter as well.
Cheers for all of the encouragement along the way.

Seeing it all together like that is just gobsmackingly gorgeous - esp for a Stalingrad fan like myself.
I cannot wait to see it in action with scatter and troops on it

Your attention to detail without making the scenery unplayable is excellent. Things like the rubble strewn over the floor is a great example of this.

Which shows will you be at with this Al?

Wow, this is amazing! Wonderful board!
-
Which shows will you be at with this Al?
Not planning on it going anywhere ,be at the TFL day at Evesham in June and then just at home in the games room.This Nov. we are taking Gettysburg to Warfare and the following Nov. guess it will be this but with part 2 attached.
Cheers AL

It sounds like you think about bringing the city to the Wolga beaches.
The way you built it up, would give a good chance for sculpted beaches with defences and nice landing points.
If you should look for ships, you will find some here:

Thanks I like that barge and it will at least save having them made and one job less for Spike (sculpter for many terrain items for several companies especially Grand Manner).
Cheers for the link

Can't wait to see this on display with minis and scatter.

I can't wait for the Evesham Lardy Day. I have got to the point where I look at this link as soon as I wake up each morning to see if there has been more added. It takes a lot to get an old cynic like me that excited about a game!
I'll be taking plenty of photos.

What have you used as wire for the barbed wire???

It looks like a window screen cut up. One of the best looking methods out there if you don't want to make your own real barbed wire.
-
Fantastic looking!
-
Dear lord this is outrageously good!!!! When and where is this lardy event? I must come (I'll be the one in the pelican bib to catch the dribble) and worship this masterpiece!

This is an awesome looking build. And now you are adding all the little bits of extra scatter terrain it's really coming to life.
Can't wait to see more!

What have you used as wire for the barbed wire???
I have some steel square mesh that I cut single strips off with scissors
-
The rail yard is looking fantastic, the whole thing going to look amazing.
-
So where can we see this magnificent construction in the flesh....so to speak?

You cant it wasn't made for or to be at any shows.This first half was made in time for the Lardie wargame day in Evesham in June but nothing else.
May be next year.

One question I was unaware the Soviets had used any captured Skdfz 251's until 1944?

awesome indeed

Brilliant! :-*
Two questions though.....what's the tm foil for on some of the vehicles and why are the machine gun crews on what looks like sand-covered jewellery boxes?

I have no idea, the one your looking at was turned into an ambulance.The picture includes two other vehicles with swastika`s on and im not allowed to show that finished photo.
Cheers for the info though.

Air recognition swastika flags on the 251/10 & staff car , the one with three on is an ambulance and they are red cross flags.I cant show swastika`s on this site).
The MMG`s don't sit high enough in windows and bomb creaters ,those are magnetic packers to lift them in these positions
-
just gets better and better!

That's an amazing output.
And of all the things I love about this project, the fact that you're doing lots of dead and surrendering figures is the no. 1.

Absolutely amazing, it would be a real pleasure to game on that table! Have you thought of painting one of the T-34s as a vehicle right off of the assembly line? A number of T34s were driven out of the factory right into combat, sometimes crewed by workers and the female drivers who usually shuttled the tanks around the complex. Here's an idea of how that could look:

Thanks yes lots of ideas still to do including the female tank commander,ive been kind of at capacity with what ive done so far in the time ive done it so nothing could be squeezed in beyond what you see,which is exactly what was planned for completion of the first phase.

You should get yourself some of the Eureka factory militia while you are at it. Made for the job.

Unless you are using Chiltern's monsters, which, judging by your photos, you aren't, then you'll find that they do mix in. Not as bulky as BTD but a good match height wise. I have mixed BTD, Artizan and Warlord with my Eureka partisans.

Really love your project. I was inspired to try and do some sewer segments, not at all happy with the results. I tried PVC/sand to coat the "pink stuff" type insulation foam I used, but it flakes off easily. What did you use to coat/seal the crafting foam?

Hi
In the sewers I glued backing card to all vertical faces the glue I used was white glue called Unibond/PVA , look back through the first picturs on page one.
Is this what you need to know?
Ps All the flat surfaces at the street level are Unibond/PVA and sand.
Cheers AL
-
Thanks! I did PVA+Sand, but I wonder what I did wrong since it's brittle and flakes off if you give it normal game play thumps & bumps.
-
Not all PVA is created equal.
-
I will be wonderful once finished with the minis on ans some puddles of dirty water.
Great work.
-
Not all PVA is created equal.
Have you had luck with a particular brand or type of PVA glue?
-
I am not Alan, nor do I share his skills. However, when I use sand and PVA it is important to add a second coat of PVA when the first coat and sand has dried, This then holds it all in place. In fact it's almost as strong as concrete when that second top coat dries.

Good to know, didn't try that, thanks!

Thanks Richard I also sprayed a second coat after all painting was done,sorry I forgot I did that.
Cheers AL

I have no recommendations for PVA, nor can I remember any that have not worked(though there have been a few).
For horizontal surfaces (or those that can be made horizontal) you can follow the railway modeller method of putting the sand down, wetting it slightly with a water sprayer (as used by gardeners) and applying a watered down PVA solution (with a tiny amount of the magic ingredient of washing up liquid) by pipette. It sets like concrete.
An alternative is to mix sand and powdered glue and apply the sprayer over it.

Some of the final game pics .

Sorry I had to leave some of the more panoramic pics out etc because of the swastika`s on show.
Cheers AL
-
Just: WOW!!!!
A really excellent looking game.
I see the pictures and a movie starts in my mind.
This is the Olympus of table tops!
-
So very cool.
What can one say but, "love the whole setup."
Thanks for sharing the building of the table.
-
Crash, that's the sound of me throwing my scenery into the bin :) That is seriously fantastic work :o
-
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
:-*
-
The table and game set up is absolutely fantastic :-*
-
It was a great table to play on. We played the Germans in the second game of the day at OML5, the annual Lardy Games Day in Evesham, and came within an Ace of victory, but the Soviets repulsed out final assault. But who cares, it was just fantastic to play on what is not model railway standard terrain, but film set standard. Just brilliant.
-
Oh, and the cakes were lovely too!

Stunning :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Lovely, lovely stuff. That yellow! :-*
-
Amazing work!
-
I love when all the hard work pays off!
-
I saw it in all its splendour on Saturday and for me it's the best wargames setup I've ever seen period. I think it should glued to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel
-

bit hard to play on it up there don't you think?
perhaps set up on the floor of the Sistine Chapel?

No, it just requires long arms and a relaxed attitude.
-
Have you had luck with a particular brand or type of PVA glue?
Cheap PVA contains filler. It's best to use a full strength formula for this sort of task, such as Gorilla Glue, which is a US brand. Deluxe Materials and others also make some with modelling use in mind.
-
A fantastic looking game :-*
-
Wow. :o :o That's insane! Amazing work! :-* :-*
-
Congratulations Al, it all looks brilliant.
-
Best. Board. Ever. That really is magnificent.

Is there an alternative place to view the photos? I'm just about salivating to get a look at this after all the commentary!

Ah, the arcane ways of BB Code and Image Links. More magic than science.
I tried that didn't work for me ??
-
Ok got it , but don't know for how long!!
-
Sent you a private message Al.
-
Magnificent set up even if a figure never graced it ....but to game on that would be utterly sublime!
-
Yes it was gamed on, cheers.
-
So what happened to the pics from page one? I don't see anything.
Thanks.

Probably the Photobucket issue as they hold the formerly free accounts to ransom.
So what happened to the pics from page one? I don't see anything.
Thanks.

Photobucket changed its conditions of use and blocked all links until we pay $400 dollars a year.So me and my 4000 pictures have been destroyed,i can pay but not that much and I wont be going back through all my forums and threads again.
Sorry AL
-
Gotcha! I'm most likely in the same bucket...no pun intended...I haven't posted pics in along long time.
Is there another way to see some of your pics again? I was gathering all my supplies to try to mimic some of the buildings you made..
Thanks.
-
Any chance of a new post Photobucket thread with some highlight photographs of the journey to Stalingrad?
Please?
-
what a wonderful game must have been!

I greet your courage and patience to restore this epic thread, a lovely gem of inspiration! Cheers!

Looking at your twitter account I see you crated the fantastic Gettysburg terrain for Warfare last month :D
I'm annoyed now because if I'd realised it was you connected with that game I would have been sure to shake you by the hand and get some terrain tips!

This game will be showed for the first time at Partizan this Sunday coming with three new boards attached.

thx for posting.

Absolutely stu;Ning table and minis!
A real inspiration for me :-*
-
Great job! I was watching your job from my first time on LAF.
Truly inspirational! I'll be following you on Flickr.
Cheers, Dinos

Incredibly good! The tall buildings just look the part! I also love the holes and tunnels in the ground :-*
-
It really is just one of those perfect tables! :o Stunning work! All of it! :-*

Amazing as ever!
-
Thanks for sharing Al, these are fabulous images. I bet you had fun!
-
Awesome
-
Stunning :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Wow!

Nothing better than when a project on a scale this big never loses an eye for detail. Even in the big things it’s the small things that count and it’s what elevates this to its own level. Much to admire here.
-
Absolutely stunning view :-*
-
Fantastic as always :-*
-
Outstanding :o
It‘s the small details like the small door beneath the stairs on the last pic which really make your tables special.
-
People like you make me sick, you have way too much modelling talent for any one person ;)
I am extremely jealous of your skills sir.

Besides the chemical tanks and the trench/strong point board there is one other board you will not have seen ,its the central sewer and pump house board:

Well, now that changes everything of course! Shoddy workmanship... not ;)
Still that’s a beautiful table full of fantastic detail. I wish I could make it to that sho just to have a closer look.
-
Think you might ever add a Pavlov's House? ;D
-
There`s always a possibility of that,i also really wanted to do the river boards as i have enough height to run the gully`s in as well. Another time i will just get the urge and create something for it.Remember this was six boards to start with and on two occasions i`ve added three more plus the extra buildings so ever evolving 8)
Cheers Alan
-
The river would also definitely add some neat gameplay options, for sure.

Hi
Had some fun with teddy bear stuffing to create these two smokes for the game.I cut out a piece of MDF and glued a load of coins to it for weight during which i trapped a folded over piece of wire into the stack then a bit at a time i superglued the wire and pushed cotton fibre down onto it until i had reached the top doing this about severn times with clumps.
To paint them i first sprayed them totally black then from the bottom sprayed red then yellow then a all over mid grey then a final hint of white near the top.
Cheers AL

The result is outstanding and very inspiring!
Thanks for the brief yet comprehensive tutorial!

Fantastic work as always, is that the entrance to Chuikov's bunker in the bottom middle of that photo? lol
-
Great work, this is such a treat to watch.
Just one comment and I hate to be picky with such great work but when a fire burns it actually burns brightest (and yellowest) at the bottom with flames going from that to orange and red before the black smoke. It's a mistake I was guilty of until someone pointed this out to me.
This is a good example as it shows petrol on fire, but you can see that it is yellow in the centre and slowly comes out to orange and red:
(https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1024x768q90/924/aKeSmM.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/poaKeSmMj)
I found giving the base a coat of yellow first and then taking a brush and dabbing and dry brushing around the edges with orange and red shades helped get that effect on this flame and smoke that I made using clumping foam:

Good example of fire, but there wouldn’t be three tone camo at Stalingrad lol

Holy crap. :o

All this is really simply absolutely impressive - modelling skill at it´s best! :-*
-
Amazing work :) Inspiration of the worst kind! :P
When the supposedly empty oil tanks were hit and turned out to be very, very full of oil, the story goes that Stalingrad Front Headquarters kept signalling for a response: "where are you? Where are you?"
Eventually the reply came back: "we're where the most smoke and flames are."
-
Stunning, inspirational and educational - Although I’m not sure my teddy bears can take any more abuse lol
-
this looks unbelievable... :o great, great stuff!
small question about the blue foam. I noticed you glued this foam boards on mdf-boards (my guess is 24" x 24"). Did you reinforce the corners as this foam tends to be easily damage by placing are bumping into 'things'?

I did coat it with PVA/Unibond/White wood glue then paintedit , but your right you do have to be careful with it,if i wasn`t so lazy it would have been(and still can be) reinforced on the corners by cutting the foam back and gluing something tougher against the cut back corners.

WARFARE READING 17th/18th NOVEMBER 2018
Used CoC rules , four German platoons with four support choices each attacking three Russian platoons with four support choices each.
Half the German infantry and one Russian squad are from the collection of my buddy Ade Deacon as are all the fighting vehicles.

Just ... wow!
Spectacular.

Stunning :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
I could look at this all day, I love all the little details
Also like the way you have different coloured dust in different areas of your board

This terrain is the best I have seen. Can you please tell us the approximate hours it took? Otherwise there is a risk that we start dabbling with trying to do something similar... ;D

Fantastic terrain!!! :-*
It is amazing how much detail you've put in, so I was ready to pose a similar question!

I saw the layout in the flesh at Warfare, it is seriously impressive!!!

700-800 hours divided by 30-35 hours a week in three seperate builds over the last year the main six boards with the factories and most sewers 3 months , the second and third 3 board builds with the trenches and the chemical tanks and the tenement blocks took about five weeks each.
Cheers AL
