6mm BBB armies

You've confused me twice with this, first in flipping over the hills between photos, and secondly by appearing to have done this on my carpet - although it's not my fireplace!!

Good way of making hills for a particular battle, it would have been very hard to get some of those ridges from generic hills.

With the steep hills, it might be worth cutting the top layer about 1cm in, just to help the cloth lay a bit better.

Thanks for that. It's a first run so see how we go. I may end up having to go three or even four layers deep. My hands hurt now as well. Uncut version viewed from the Prussian approach, whilst the cut version is from the French side.

As someone who has done this for Altar of Freedom I can say it is well worth the effort.

[Subedai]

This looks intriguing. Following with interest.

Took the cardboard down the club yesterday. Making villages today from the paper terrain 3mm models. Fiddly but a nice result. However, although I'll probably be able to get these done, I don't think I'll manage the TBM towns so will make do with the Brigade Miniatures for now. Hope to have the towns done for Froeschwiller.

Here is the battlefield set up at last for Spicheren. Unfortunately, since I upgraded to Yosemite nothing works the way it did before I can now only post one photo at a time so here come a lot of messages from me

Nice setup. Are you using Teddy bear fur?

The opposing Prussians with disrupted markers (yellow), spent markers (red) and silenced explosions.

Finally a shot of some of the Bavarians in preparation for Froeschwiller

Very nice Leman!
Love the Bavarians too.

It's not teddy fur but a throw from Amazon advertised as faux mink. I hung it over the washing line and randomly sprayed it with a darker green and a sand colour.

Thanks Looks well

Was it this one?
