The hill, which will be a focal point for the Lundy's Lane game is finished. It's roughly 3 feet by 2 feet and will hold two to three 40 figure battalions along with some artillery so it should be a tough nut to crack. The first picture shows the side that will be facing the American army. I have no idea if the hill at the actual battle site had a rock face but mine does!
The second photo shows the side that face the British table edge. I think I was a bit to heavy handy with the wheel ruts but nobodies perfect.
Next up are some split rail fences and road sections and then I think I'll be ready for the game.
Very nice looking hill, good work on it!
ReplyDeleteGreat work, I really need a hill myself. I have modeled previous ones into the board itself, but that reduces its flexibility. Do you think if I build one 6x3' using your technique it will hold together.

And it surely looks great !
ReplyDeleteVery intersting step by step here.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Looks great, Miles. The hard work paid off again. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteNice. I particularly like the grey stone outcrop to the front in the first image.

That's a nice piece of work Miles, damn nice.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on your past few posts: beautiful work, Miles! I'm very envious of your final product, it looks excellent.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic work, Miles!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comments.
ReplyDeleteJohn - I think you might get too much sway at each end with a hill section that's 6' long unless you braced with a few strips of 1x2 glued together.
You might consider making the hill two 3' halves that can either butt up against each other for a long hill or be used as 2 different hills that are positioned on the edge of the table
Thanks Miles. I agree that might be a better idea.

Very nice piece of gaming furniture, chapeau. Also the idea of two half hills is great, I'll try it.
