I'm totally stunned. I want to play on this table, immediately. :-*
Any clue how much money lies there?

Thanks Doc  :)

Well obviously the Forgeworld inn was ludicrously expensive at 85.00 GBP - but the other dozen or so resin buildings are nearly all in the 15.00 - 20.00 GBP price range: so probably around 300.00 GBP all in...

But then I've been collecting these buildings over the past 3 or 4 years, so it's not like I've spent all that money in one go...  ;)

Simply amazing. The sort of thing to be envious of and certainly the sort of thing that you should be insanely proud of.

Top stuff,

Ah Ha! Clock tower! Sorry old chap or maybe young chap, but isn't your clock tower a tad early by all accounts! Otherwise top show!
Best wishes,
Helen

Fantastic set up, I can say no more than has already been said :-*

Who/how did you do the terrain tiles?

Hi Helen,

Middle-aged chap, if you please. I'm a mere stripling of 45  ;)

Yes, I did wonder about the clock in the church tower - there again, there are lots of references in Shakespeare to 'the clock striking twelve' and so on... So they definitely had public clocks in the latter C16th - I'm just not sure they had started mounting them in church towers that early. Probably not. Still, suspension of disbelief and all that... This is still the best looking church I've ever found on the market, so I'll live with the clock  :)

Apart from that, the great thing about this set-up is that actually, it is pretty timeless (ha ha!) By which I mean you could use this board for pretty much any scenario from The Wars of The Roses through to The Eagle Has Landed, and all points in between...



Who/how did you do the terrain tiles?


I made the terrain boards. Basically, they're just 3mm-4mm MDF rectangles liberally daubed with a sand, grit, emulsion, and PVA mix. Roads, trackways, pond surfaces, etc are scraped out of the mix whilst wet, then once dry, the whole lot is sprayed black, then drybrushed with an earthy colour matt emulsion, with white gradually mixed in to create some highlighting on the texture. Then patches of static grass mixed with scatter material, glued on in random areas... Four sheets make up this table. I have several others with different features on...

Cheers

Richard
