Nicely done. Nothing wrong with a sponge tree. As you say, cheap, quick and sturdy. |

You appear to be the owner of a TARDIS! That's a beautiful layout – can't wait to see your troops marching across it – with the drifts of smoke (cotton wool) when they get close enough to actually engage. It's a delight. |

It looks lots of fun, and that is what matters |

Crikey, that pic takes ME back 40 years, when I made trees like that in the school art department, had just got hooked on wargaming using Airfix Napoleonic, and was using Charles Grant as a guide. The good ol' days, eh? :-) |

The photograph is of a perfect wargames table circa 1975…obviously Paul nipped in his TARDIS and "borrowed" it from Terry Wise.  |

The good ol' days, eh? :-)  The temptation is to go for more "up to date" and "professional" Terrain but that would defeat the object of the Project and cost a lot more time and Money. Basically, Iīm Trying to ignore anything that I wouldnīt have done back in the 70īs when first starting out..apart from daubing the figs with humbrol enamel paint..like this lot link The photograph is of a perfect wargames table circa 1975 I wish I still had the photos from back then* The entire Garage floor painted green using poster paint "borrowed" from School – I got a right telling off for that! Scores of German tanks and halftracks advancing across the lawn towards the russians who were dug in along the flower beds. British paras dropping behind enemy lines using gliders made from toilet paper tubes..happy days indeed. *or a Tardis :-) |

Seeing the photo brought joy to my heart. It is just too beautiful. It is could even be earlier than the 70s. |

Tables like this are great. There is clarity as to what is what. Well made that man! |

Now that is wargames terrain! |

Great. Pretty much how my table looks now, except for the trees I have on old metal hexagon bases from Der Kriegspielers |
