Fuck this is AWESOME. this idea is going straight into the livestream studio.
Thanks dude! Can’t wait to see yours once you’re in the new Zorp palace 😍
The storage solution here is great for in a gaming room or garage, double sided and with a protective lid...man, you have covered so many angles to make this a practical thing to do - good work!
Thanks so much! Glad you like it 😊
These turned out fantastic, my only concern about building a board is how finite they turn out, for example you made a lovely out doors hill scape on one side that I'd love to play on, but then I'd have to build a hellscape version, then a frozen tundra version, Sci fi industrial, moden city scape...ugh, first world gamer problems I suppose, but atleast you've given me ab idea how to do two in one
Thanks so much! And yes, that’s certainly a concern for me! Whilst building this I definitely had ideas of making an industrial one or just a ruined battlefield. So many ideas, so little time (and space!)
Put dowel holes by the 4 corner and handles on the ends making them stackable.
Love the idea of a double sided board man, and great storage solution! I hope to play on that board some day ;)
It really seems a great way to get maximum use from the time abd space. :-)
Thanks dude! Once my little on is a bit bigger you’ll have to come up and hang out!
By far my most favourite video you have done mate. I am really loving these LOTRs inspired videos. The nostalgia hit is real!
Aww thanks! It’s probably one of my favourites too. Definitely got more Middle Earth inspired videos in the works 😊
Awesome channel. Instant subscribe!
Aww thank you! Hope you enjoy the stuff I’ve got coming up 😊
What sort of black magic made your hand saw fly @ 6:31 ? Channeling some heresy stuff there mate
Haha! Just watched it back! I think the handle just caught my sleeve 😂
I bought textured floor tile, and instead of a mat I bought those very thin peel and stick vinyl tiles with fake stone designs as a play mat.
Ah yes, that sounds like a good idea! That would definitely work 😊
Genius idea mate! Love the way you mounted it on the wall with Beau's beautiful prints, very cool!
I remember when GW was selling that battle board thing. A modular table for warhammer.
I had the similar idea but mine was 6 segments of 2' by 2' with a smaller frame below that would sit on my kitchen table, sort of as an extension making my table into a 6' by 4'.
And I wanted to use my citadel battlemat or any other mats that would fit.
Ah, I remember those! The Realms of Battle board? I think they were discontinued a couple of years ago now.
hey Benji, I think this build is fantastic but I had a question about how you managed the border beaming reducing down the board size? are both boards just slightly smaller than 4ft x 4ft or did you do something to keep the play space at 4ft?
Thanks for your kind words! The boards were 1.22m so ever so just about 4ft. The edges did unfortunately eat in to this space but realistically this shouldn’t make a huge difference in most games, especially friendly ones which I’m most likely to play on it 😊
@@BenjisHobbies Doesnt this work well with the tiles sizes. I notice they arent exactly 12 inches anyway they are like 11.25 or something so were there any gaps etc?
Only asking cause im stealing this idea lol its great!
my hobbies are different from your hobbies but this video made me want to make things. Static grass applicators are pretty fucking hypnotic to watch, it’s like the reverse of shaving.
Haha! Indeed it does look like reverse shaving! I love it!
How much did they cost? A breakdown of the materials in the video description would be useful because you did seem to throw a LOT of purchased components at the project. Were you sponsored by Colour Forge and Geek Gaming?
I’ve not really got a breakdown of the costs but it’s probably something I’ll throw up as a blog post on my website if that’s of interest. I’m not sure how else you’d build or paint something without purchasing stuff? 😅
I got sent some rattle cans by Colour Forge but I purchased all of the Geek Gaming stuff from GrimDice Tabletop Gaming.
Nice to see someone doing a proper job, sanding, glueing "and" screwing! Being a professional woodworker i normally cringe at vids like this. You won't ever regret taking a little extra time to do a good job, same can't be said for cutting corners.
I wouldn’t say it’s a ‘proper job’ but I like to do more than just the bare minimum 😊 Some day I’d love to make an oak framed gaming table but right now it’s beyond my skill and budget to be able to do it justice. Maybe one day 😊
Absolutely love this man, amazing work! Time to get that flipside board out. Those foam tiles are lovely :)
Thanks duuuude!
That storage solution is super classy
Thanks! I’m really pleased with it! Make it looks like part of the furniture rather than a board stuck to the wall 😊
The only thing you didn't buy for this project was your time. Congratulations!
Thanks for the video Benji. Please could you give me the dimensions of the sheet and timber? I assume you want the sheet slightly bigger than 6 by 4 to account for the width of the timber framing around the edges?
👌👌👌👌👌
I made a similar board before coming across your video. How did you prevent the boarding warping as you move it? I'd imagine there's some twisting on a framed board that size without cross-bracing.
Looks amazing mate, and that's a clever storage solution! I've always wanted to build a board myself, but storage space has been the issue. End result is awesome :)
Thanks so much dude! You’re more than welcome to come up and play on my table if you’re ever free 😊
anyone have any other sources for the premade tiles? The choices are either 32mm squares or 25 with a lip around the tile. Neither of those is appealing.
Man I missed your videos, thanks for the great content and hope everything’s going great for you my dude!
Sorry for keeping you waiting so long! I promise there will be more coming out thicker and faster soon. Unfortunately fatherhood gets in the way a little 😊
Wear a mask surely @6.36
Door was open. There was plenty of air flow through 😊
Im totaly inspired now to Build my own! Thank you so much. I will try to construct it in such a way that I can fold the plate to be able to transport it better.
That’s awesome! I love how this one turned out but I have some ideas on how to improve on this. Keep an eye out for it soon! 😊
@@BenjisHobbies cant want to See it!
That looks so good! I've been working on a modular board lately, and right now I'm trying to deal with how to hide the borders to allow for a nice combination of different modules while still allowing the board to hang from the wall without crushing grass tufts and such.
It’s such a difficult compromise - you want it to look good, but also want it to be durable, easy to use and not overly difficult to make. There were definitely compromises that had to be made with this board but overall I think it does what it needs to. Looking forward to seeing yours!
fuck yeah looking great
Thank you! Really pleased with how they turned out!
I didn't know you had a blog until I read through the comments, can't wait until you get the article up for this! I longingly watch the other channels do board builds but this is next level stuff, looks amazing. Can I ask what blue foam it is you're using for the hills there please?
I need to get round to updating it more frequently than I do 🙈 Always so much to do but so little time!
The blue foam is just XPS foam I picked up from a company called CosySpace 👍🏼
Brilliant video! Is the board heavy? What thickness MDF did you use?
It’s certainly not the lightest! I used 9mm MDF however if I were to do it again I’d perhaps either go for 9mm ply or even 6mm MDF. The frame on either side adds a lot of rigidity to the board.
I can't quite understand what you're saying when you talk about the wood sidings, what materiel is it? And also whats the thickness of each materiel? 3/4 inch for the board's base? And what are the dimensions of the sidings themselves?
It’s wood. I think it was 34x27mm.
Board was 9mm MDF.
where? where is the double board in action ?? .. 99% is just u showing u making it and 1% talking
I’m not even sure what this comment means! You can clearly see both sides with models and terrain on them at the end. 1% talking? I narrated the entire video.
What action were you expecting? Me taking the board on a rollercoaster? Taking it skydiving?
I love yer cat in background
She’s always busy getting involved and ‘helping’!
@@BenjisHobbies Cats do be like that. At least this time she didnt seem to disturb you during tile gluing process hah!
Charlie work. Nice one.
Thank you!
what a cracking solution to every hobbyists worst nightmare: storage space! Great video!
Ah thanks dude!
Should have installed screws from the bottom up. Just a suggestion.
And how would I have screwed from the bottom up on the second row?
Love it.
Nothing I like more than seeing board builds of all sizes and themes. My dream is one day to have a huge loft space man cave with a permanent huge table setup. But for now I’ll stick to the smaller pieces.
Thanks man! I’m always in awe of your builds so this means a lot coming from you 😊
I’d LOVE to have a permanently set up table but for now that’s a pipe dream. Studio 3.0 will definitely have some dedicated gaming space though, mark my words!
Thank you TH-cam recommendations for this masterpiece
Oh you, you’re far too kind!
never knew about mdf sealer!
Great video, love how they both came out. I made a double sided board last year. I made the first side then after a week, I thought why not do something on the other side.
One snowy side
One nurgle wastelands side
But I just used some circle sponge in all corners instead of framing it.
That sounds awesome! Would love to see it 😊 If you’ve got some pictures then I’d love to see them in the Facebook group!
Looks great ! How much did you spend overall?
When I get a spare few minutes I’m going to put up a quick blog post on my website covering the costs. Keep an eye out for it 😊
Thank was a really cool board! Thanks for sharing, great content.
Thank you! I love how it turned out, just need to find some time to play on it now!
This was awesome mate! No idea why you don't have 100k subs!
Thanks so much man! Hopefully I’ll get there one day 😊
Loving the board, boards, picture frame hanging wall feature 🤣. One day I will attempt this but today is not this day 😁
You’d just end up making ten of them in the time it took me to make one 🙄😘
@@BenjisHobbies when switch over to making terrain, it's going to be an interesting day 😁
So, just curious. Why is it always a white guy with glasses and a beard?
We’re an army bred for one purpose.
But in all seriousness I didn’t have much choice over my skin colour and vision deficiencies. The beard I guess is on me though…
Such a great idea! I want to do something similar but a kill team sized board that has a good amount of detail while also being portable
I think a Kill Team board like this would be awesome!
Great video man :) Love to know if the wood will bow. As mine did :(
Still looking good so far but I’ll keep you posted!
How did I not know about those Foam tiles! Great Video
Good aren’t they! It’s not the last you’ll be seeing of them 😊
So im definetly taking this idea for my own board im drawing out. The only concern I thought of was how stable is the center of the board when you have it flipped over? Does the MDF happen to bow or anything or is the side bracings tight enough to keep it firm? Love the cover and hanging idea to blend it into the room!
Two days ago I was thinking it was a long time we didn't have one of your video. And today I got that sweet notification. Perfect.
The tables both look great, well done !!!
Love the double sided table idea. Never thought about it, now you've open a whole new world to me and my restricted space. Thanks.
Oh, by the way, a friend of mine made me try MESBG a week and a half ago. I think I've never fell in love with a wargame this fast. Can't wait to play it again.
Fatherhood is definitely getting in the way of this TH-cam lark! Don’t worry though, I’ve already got a few videos in the works so I promise I won’t be keeping you as long before the next one.
I’m glad you love MESBG! 😍
@@BenjisHobbies Yeah, fatherhood don't mix really well with a lot of stuff at first. But in a couple years you'll be able to paint minis with you kid. And it is one of the best thing ever.
No problem for the waiting time. If I have to wait for you videos I'll wait. But I'm happy to hear there are already videos in the work.
Have a great day.
First viewer!!!!
That truly is the key to coolness!
@@BenjisHobbies It sure is!!!!
Awww sweet. Those textured tiles are a class idea will need to get some
Thanks man! Yeh, they’re a game changer. Loads of opportunities with them for display boards etc 😊
Great video !! ✨
what company made the foam side for the first side?
They’re called Firedragon Games. I’ll pop a link on the description 😊
Great Video mate hope things are going well with the little one 👍
Thanks dude! He’s a little champ and growing up so fast!
that's gotta be the most beautiful board i've ever seen! especially love the way you made the grassy side, it looks so vibrant but still very realistic. For warhammer it might be a bit too hilly, but still very sweet. I would love to see you make some modular forests/hills/river/whatever in the same style and see how you can diversify this board to keep it fresh over multiple games. Hint: Warhammer the Old World is coming out this or next year most likely, creating a load of new wargamers looking for inspiration for their own boards
Looks great! Love the idea for the lid…and hanging it on the wall with cool art!
Thanks dude! I’m really pleased with it 😊
3RD. WOOT!
Thank you , Benji .

Welcome as always, Loupis!
What brand of brown grout did you use?
It was just brown Mapei grout from B&Q 😊 don’t worry if you can’t find the exact one, any brown grout would do the trick!
would love to build a board like this, hoping one day to be able to do this when having some more space.
07:20 sorry i am new. What you are mixing here?
It’s modelling compound. It’s a mix of plaster and other ingredients that makes a thick solid paste for creating the land forms.
Don’t spray paint inside, especially not without a mask! The fumes are toxic.
I had both sets of doors open - there was plenty of ventilation 😊
Give this hobby Karen an award for saving us all!
Clearly someone that runs their own channel on minis knows ventilation is necessary in this circumstance.
@@photonfartsqueeze6694 haha! I get it on so many videos!
It’s a valid point, but I don’t feel it’s necessary to do a risk assessment, go in to every safety precaution I take for everything I do or comment on it in every video otherwise I’d be here for days and it would make the video incredibly boring.
Are the fumes good? No. But with the doors open and spending a minimal amount of time spraying the risks are low. If I was doing it in an enclosed space, day in, day out it would be a different story, but I’m not. I sprayed for 2-3 minutes with loads of ventilation so realistically the risks are minimal.
@@BenjisHobbies I’m glad to hear that. A lot of times, people know better but don’t have proper ventilation anyway, so that’s why I commented.
Edit: also because its good for other people who might read the comments, and don’t know better
Yes fumes are toxic but your day job will kill you before 😂
Great to see the new space taking shape. The double board is always good for variety
Thanks for the Video 😉👍
Absolutely welcome! 😊
Where did you get the files for the 3D printed Moria columns?
They look awesome and I definitely want to print my own
They’re part of the Davale Games Patreon welcome pack. It’s well worth subscribing to if you like Middle Earth inspired STLs 😊
Great idea! We made a fold up mobile table (so to say) and then have 1x 1 foam tiles we can layout on the table. I like your idea better
That being, I would lighten the load with some half inch cabinet grade plywood. Looks like you used half inch MDF which might not be much different but 3/4 weighs a lot. Would also use some cleaner select pine for the edges and stain it.
Thanks for the inspiration and keep the ideas coming.
In hindsight there would definitely be ways of lightening the load. I’d probably go with 6mm MDF rather than 9mm next time. My concern with ply is that the quality (especially from big box stores) in the U.K. can be a bit iffy, so long term I think MDF would be a bit more functional.
Thanks for your kind words! 😊
Both boards look awesome.
Thanks so much!
Making it look easy
Thanks! It’s definitely not difficult - if I can make this anyone can!
really enjoying the messy content. Its why I subscribed and Im happy to see it making a return
Thanks dude! Plenty more to come 😊
Great video as always. Can I ask where you got the blue foam from in the uk.
Thank you! I bought it from a company called CosySpace on eBay. It’s pretty cheap per sheet and comes in 3 different thicknesses but there used to be a minimum quantity of 5 sheets.
Recently since bought some pink foam from the Underfloor Heating Company which I would say is marginally better though. It’s in 4x2’ sheets, 10mm thick and is around £6 a sheet. Hope that helps!
nice think ant see out from you in ages :-)
I knoooow man! Fatherhood is taking up way too much of my time 😅
@@BenjisHobbies yea deff now that feeling 4 year old running round don’t get much done as i like in hobby way
love your channel and it's a great video. One small criticism, if at all possible you should eliminate "nitty gritty" from your lexicon. look it up, it's a really unpleasant phrase
Thanks Mark. I think my intent was very clear here and of course I didn’t mean to cause any offence.
@@BenjisHobbies I'm not accusing you of anything sorry if that wasn't clear. I just don't think people are aware of the real meaning of that expression. Like paddy wagon and Indian promises are obviously rooted in race.
But most people aren't aware nitty gritty refers to the human refuse left in a slave ship that had to be cleaned before you could continue on your trade route.
