How to make low cost flexible textured road sections from magnetic paper sheet and hills from foam board contours covered to match the board. Here I lay out some of my recent terrain to see how things look so far. I also discuss how the square table works with DBN rules which I am adapting for the American Revolution and French and Indian Wars. Link to blog post with a bit more detail napoleoni...

Great progress in just over 4 weeks! I just love painting these figures, sculpting style, robust castings and those unique PP faces. Single base units for small space gaming is the concept here, 2'6" x 2'6" vintage wooden folding card table covered with a fleece mat, think in terms of a slice of the main action.

Another short video describing what's on the painting desk here this week, my own 15mm AWI project plus Epic Napoleonics and Pike & Shotte on commission. 13mm Epic don't look great when blown up on the screen to about 40mm but far better in the flesh at it where!

I'm working on more 15mm Peter Pig ECW horse for customer John with 4 sprues of Epic P&S to follow for customer Noel so thought it might be good to take a look at both side by side for comparison. I like both! EDIT: Louisiana Tigers are of course ACW not ECW!!
Using Warlord 'Epic' ACW's for 'Battle Cry' replacement figures.
มุมมอง 1.1K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
My small/cheap side project! Single bases of Epic ACW's to replace the plastic figures in the old' Battle Cry' board game. The board will be replaced with a printed mat with a 75mm 13 x 9 grid (from Tinywargames, UK). I'm far more a painter than gamer these days so this just suits me. A few conversions along the way!
Satin varnish anyone?

Two of my regular customers request Vallejo Satin Varnish for their painted figures and I must admit that I like it too. Lots on the go, Plastic ACW 1/72nd, 15mm Peter Pig ECW's and Warlord Epics.

Love the terrain and figures. I'd love to see the game play out!
Looks great and I will be adding some of your ideas to my current 3 foot by 3 foot setup!
Thank you, and a 3 x 3 is a great size table. Cheers, Lee.
Enjoying Your videos and Your AWI project 😊
Looks great, enjoy the game.
Thank you, I did! A few things I need to think through but it's getting there :) Cheers, Lee.
Painting casualty markers, is a dyeing art. Table looks great.
Couldn't resist them I'm afraid! On the DBN site there are sheets of casualty markers that can be downloaded and printed then mounted on MDF, all Napoleonic but they look great! Many thanks, Lee.
You did great with what you have :) have a nice game!
Thank you Sir, it does just what I need from a game these days :) Lee.
Table looks great
Cheers, it's getting there :) Lee
Board is looking great mate have fun playing on it by the way rambling vids is what we war gammers like best so keep it up
Lee, superb. This project has been well 'imagined' from the outset and it looks really good now it has all been brought together ..... this is going to press the right buttons for a lot of gamers.
Hi Norm and thank you :) My move towards the smaller space wargame was initially inspired by your blog of course. I see a lot of great ideas on the Portable Wargame group site run by Bob Cordrey which has reinforced my view that you really do not need a big table to have an enjoyable game. Next step for me is improving the look of those fields and then sorting out lighting, I have some ideas! Cheers, Lee PS: Bring Piggy Longton and it''s wonderful array of characters to TH-cam, it would be a visual treat :)
Its Featherstone chic 😁 the beat tables to play on. Lovely table
Thank you. I am of the generation that was inspired by Donald Featherstone and Terry Wise so it's the DIY look of my youth :) Cheers, Lee.
Looking good Lee 😉
Coming along nicely now Geoff :) Cheers, Lee.
It’s looking great mate. I’m working on a small table set up myself at the moment and this is very inspiring. Keep up the great work.
Cheers Steve. You will have spotted your excellent Battlescale 10mm buildings there of course :) I'll be ordering a few more from Pendraken this week. All the best, Lee.
What about the rivers? Your roads and wooded areas look fantastic. I play in 28mm and have been using old CDs from 30+ years ago as bases for 2 to 3 trees. I’ll have to see if I can find the magnetic paper here in the USA.
Rivers are next on my list to make! I like the idea of using CD's as wood bases. Magnetic paper from most high street stationary/printer suppliers here, used to make your own fridge magnets. Cheers, Lee.
@@legrambo looking forward to the rivers. I found a place here in the USA that sells 2 foot wide rolls of the sheets for large scale printers. I’m probably not going to make long runs or road sectioned, even though I could. It is storage that becomes the problem if they are a meter long.🙂
Nice ideas, thanks. As to fences, I just purchased some HO fencing and trimmed it down.
Thank you for the tip, I'll give that a try :) Cheers, Lee.
Great ideas!
Thank you. Lee.
Love me some DBN. good stuff.
DBN give a great game in a small space with plenty of strategic challenges. Lee.
Thanks Lee for introducing me to the advantages of magnetic paper. I picked some up at Hobbycraft last week and I will be using it for some BUA bases and some fields. All good. Norm.
Cheers Norm, I hope it does the job for you. I have only used the Vallejo Earth texture on it, straight from the pot and it remains flexible and does not crack when flexed. I'm also planning fields :) All the best, Lee.
Excellent!!
Really coming together nicely supprised you have not just made your own picket fences by the way what part of kent are you in I am in the seaside disaster that is Margate hope you are somewhere better
Many thanks. I might try the 00 fence and trim it down a bit as suggested above, would save so much time. We're not that far apart, I'm in Medway, outskirts of Chatham so not that glamourous either :) I used to like Margate. Cheers, Lee.
It looks better than some of the commercial products! Great idea. I tried something similar with teddy bear/fleece kind of material and covered it with texture paste. It is thicker than these roads but stick to the mat firmly due to that 'hairy' structure on the bottom.
Many thanks. I can see that your idea would also work well too. Would also be a great way of making textured fields? Cheers, Lee.
@@legrambo Maybe. But what I see here looks better imo so you don't have to test this method. :) The fleece material is thicker so it stans out a bit more and sometimes I have to straighten it up under a cutting mat if it was laying bent for longer period of time. But I only did small road and plan on doing more. I was thinking about using something like a rubber mat. An idea taken from channel called Black Magic Craft.
Nice table and ideas. :)
Thank you. Lee.
Looks great! I’ll have to check out that book!
It's an old favourite of mine and full of scenarios. Cheers Lee.
Great roads mate
Cheers :) cheap and simple! Lee
Lovely roads, great job!
Thank you, very easy to make and cheap too. I looked at commercial product but wanted to be able to make lots of variations. Cheers Lee.
Great stuff nice idea with the magnetic paper for roads I am going to give that a go. I am like you painting and making stuff are my first loves only play maybe 6 to 8 games a year enough to keep me happy.
I hope the road idea is useful to you :) It's cheap compared to commercial product as you can buy 2x A4 sheets for about £5 to £6 and make loads of road and river sections :) many thanks for watching my gruff mumbling videos! Cheers Lee
your scenery looks incredible
Thank you very much, it is slowly coming along! Cheers Lee.
@@legrambo it has a cohesive aesthetic - is your scenery DIY, like the trees and your basing?
@@charliedoom Thanks again. I invested in a fleece mat for covering the table and making hills to match ( to come!). Aside from the commercial trees bought quite cheaply from eBay I'm trying to make as much as I can myself. What I like about the magnetic paper roads and rivers is that they sit nicely into the terrain without hard edges being visible. I'll set it all up for next video. Cheers, Lee.
Excellent roads and great to find a material that does not warp. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that HobbyCraft were selling magnetic and steel paper, so hopefully that should make it easy to source for gamers.
Thanks for the tip re Hobbycraft Norm, I'll have a look next time I'm in there. Cheers Lee.
So cool.
Thank you :) Lee.
Fantastic painting nice AWI bases.
Many thanks Stephen :) Lee.
Lovely figures mate
Cheers :) Lee.
Inspired and fantastic work on your baggage bases Lee, congrats!
Many thanks Phil :) Lee.
Loverly work bye the way your getting the blame after watching your last video I thought I have some 15mm awi lying around painted them just ordered a load more your fault mate
Haha, that's what happens, it draws you in :) Cheers, Lee.
Super work Lee
Thank you :)
It looks splendid. i am using a ‘wet palette’ and that is helping with the hot weather.
Hi Norm :) I'm using a rather crude wet palette but even that is drying out quickly! Washing the brushes frequently in warm water helps too. Bit cooler today thankfully.
Great work! 👍👏
Lovely work on great sculpts. It’ll be interesting to see a game.
Thank you. Starting on terrain now so should be soon! Lee.
very nice indeed 👍
Cheers. Hoping that DBN will work as well for the AWI, I'm confident they will.
@@legrambo Hi Lee, they will, IMO. Do you have the DBAWI play sheets ? if not you can pm me if you like.
@@DBNwargaming To be honest I didn't know there was a DBAWI playsheet! I That's great I'll PM you Alex :) Cheers, Lee.
What size are the bases Lee
I have gone for 50mm x 30mm bases to fit 10 infantry (8 light) or 4 cav.
Very nice work. I have a bunch of 10mm AWI in my painting line. Someday. Someday.
Well Lee, these are lovely. Good clear colours make the game nicer. Thanks for using PP chaps. martin
Thanks Martin. Keeping everything nice and bright for this project :) So many packs in the range I'm sure this will expand and the French beckon :) Lee.
That's some pretty good out put for a month they look really nice
Cheers :) This little lot is in addition to my commission painting work which keeps me fairly busy! Lee.
They look superb mate,I've never bought Peter pig before they look great alot of detail
Many thanks :) The PP's have a style all their own.
Great work they look great mate
I think what small games in 3-1mm best show is the space between units as larger scales have models with less space
Very nice Lee 👏👏Your AWI (DBN) armies are also coming along nicely too.
Cheers Geoff :) Can't go wrong with Peter Pig figures. Lee.
Great update mate,liking the french
Many thanks.
Wow. I’m wanting to do the same with warlord games epic miniatures
I can't get "Irregular Miniatures's" website to work at all, except for the home page.
Very cool, what size base ?
Hi Lee, lovely project, I’m hoping that at some point we see an Epic AWI. A few weeks ago I picked up red and yellow dropper paints by Army Painter from their new Fanatic range, which are more pigmented and so far the reds are giving very good one coat coverage, I gone mine From Warlord Games. I have not tried the yellow yet. Anyway good to see you still doing stuff for yourself. Vids are fine as they are 🙂
