A beautiful field of battle, scalable.
Having tired of playing on the 1.20 x 2.00 m
usual, I am coupled with the help of my carpenter
preferred to make larger game boards suitable for scenarios V & B existing.
I began by identifying the formats of the space needed for V & B scenarios published in the rules, and extensions on the net. We met up with several standards.
Once identified them. I could make the distribution and cut surfaces.
Because I played with as a standard 1 inch to 2 cm, I could have
table 144 x 96, 144 x 192, 144 x 230, 144 x 288 but 192 x 192. So I
broken panels as well, so that all can be used and perform all required tables created with 5 panels.
Here we see 1) the table of variable length, which makes up to 288 x 144 cm (Austerlitz or Waterloo for example) or a square table
of 192 x192.
I wanted both, a light (no need of 190 kg of movers to put them in place), flexible and aesthetically beautiful.
The trays were made from 5mm marine plywood on cleat frame planed. Everything was glued and screwed.
The top surface, the screw holes have been plugged with plaster and sanded to get a perfectly smooth surface.
to go with my routes and my hills, you could just use the same mixture as for my flock of hills (see: http://euthanasor-wargamesetmodelisme.blogspot.com/2009/02/fabriquer-des- hills-for-your-tables.html)
One panel (No. 1) with a primer.
the same, dressed with a mixture of paint and wood glue and sprinkled heavily flocking hair (bought by the kilo, China). The sheet
Plastic is used to recover the balance after brushing soft dry brush.
Always the same panel, vertical part of the excess flock fell into the tank, it can be reused for other panels.
The panel is ready to nail bomb to fix permanently the whole.
Detail fasteners, seen from below, tables between them. A threaded rod, washers and wing nuts. It can not suffice for the panels bear the each other (they are intended to be placed on a table) but it prevents them from moving against each other and minimizes the space between them.
And here is a beautiful pastoral landscape for s'étriper happily. Roads, villages, rivers, bridges are also of my creation.
