Hello all!

I would like to share the table I made for some fun ACW gaming on the famous McPherson's ridge during the battle of Gettysburg.

here's a shot with some troops on it. It's for 15mm games.

Looks pretty much exactly like it did when I was there this summer. Nice job.

Very nice and looks accurate for a nice game I would love to play!

I walked that battle many times back in the 1990s. Took many photos. I created it in 10mm, back when I had my ACW armies. I have an unhealthy obsession with that part of the Gettysburg battle. :-)

Thanks guys!
It's my first attempt at making terrain to match a scenario on purpose. 😀

It looks great! Thanks for the step by step how to. Now you just need to do Culp's Hill, Cemetery Hill, Cemetery Ridge, Seminary Ridge, The Wheatfield, Devil's Den, Plum Run, Little Round Top and Big Round Top and you'll have the whole battlefield. Of course, you may need to tear out a few walls in the interim. Seriously, it looks fantastic, I'd love to see my Confederates tearing down that road.

Thanks Michael. I appreciate it.
The next project will probably be Barlows Knoll. And then the Wheat field and then the round tops if I still have the momentum. 😀
