I have posted my first ever video on You Tube today and it provides a viewing of my wargame table which I have set up for the Battle of Hobkirk's Hill

I have also posted on my blog a sort of terrain tutorial in which I explain the principles that I use when I set up tabletop terrain. Click on the links and enjoy.

I hope to get better at shooting videos and plan on posting more on You Tube in the future.

Very nice set up, and great start on YouTube! As I can personally attest (and as with most everything), the more you do, the easier it all becomes. This is exactly what the hobby needs more of.

My Hobkirk's Hill didn't look near as nice. Very nice set up.

Cool, Jim.

The Lichen would look 100 times better if you spray painted it a more natural color and then added on some Noch or Heki.
"leaves" to it. That yellow color just doesn't look right to my eye.
For the green lichen, I would soak it in diluted Matte Medium and sprinkle leaves on it while it was still wet.

Neither of theses processes take more than a few minutes time but the difference would be very noticeable.

And thank you very much for posting the video!

Keep us in the loop on how the battle turns out if you can?

I plan on playing the game this week and post the action on my blog, as usual.
