Just had to post again. I have spent the day continually opening this thread and drooling repeatedly over the photos.

Haha. Drool away, Nick 

Actually, it's far cleverer of you to build haciendas and churches from scratch. Painting resin and artistically arranging it isn't that tough - just effective when seen en masse.

I can do a Northwest Frontier layout on this scale too.  And a pirates layout.

The observant will have noticed the rather strange red sand bases on all my trees. That's because they are mainly used in my NW Frontier / Future Wars / Pirates / F&I Wars set-ups, and pressed into service for my later forays into Reivers and ECW...

If it's not going to sicken my fellow LAF'ers to much, give me a week or two and I'll set them up and take some pics...

Yes, please

[Argonor]

Please do... I need more inspiration to go out and buy insane masses of minis and terrain..... well.... maybe not...

Fantastic!

 

Superb!

That is heartwarming that is. So beautiful and alive. Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration.


My humble village is still very much on the planning stage, so its great to see that Conflix work well with the PMC buildings. I also have a few Armorcast houses in my setup. Now I really have to start basing and laying out the structures.

Again: Thank YOU! for those lovely pictures!

Cheers!

According to Wikipedia:
"The earliest clock tower in Europe was the Salisbury cathedral clock in England, completed in 1306."

and I have seen medieval ones, circa 15th century, in the Czech Republic.

Fantastic Captain Blood!   Thank you for sharing!  I would love to see your other
tables set up!

I'm going to stamp on my cardboard buildings, I couldn't possibly be seen in public with them now.

The MDF tiles dont warp under all that liquid attention?

No - they're all as flat as pancakes.

All my boards are 2' x 2' 8" (slightly over 60cm by 80cm for the metric). Maybe larger sections would give more of a problem?

I always store all the boards flat in a stack, which I'm sure also helps prevent any distortion.

Note - the MDF is actually 5mm thick, although I think they sell it as 4mm for some reason?

Maybe it's also because the initial texturing coat is actually not all that wet? It's more of a paste consistency. Just depends on the proportion of aggregate to paint and PVA.

Also because there's a generous quantity of Unibond (PVA) in the mixture, I guess that acts as a sealant as well as a tough binding agent. It all dries rock hard, and is pretty chip resistant. Wonderful stuff, PVA... 

Out of interest, it's exactly the same mix I use for basing my figures too. It's really dead simple, and costs very little...

Thanks Articman. Good to know I'm (more or less) historically accurate!
