Hello folks,

I would like to share a recent commission I have done.

A 28mm WW2 bocage Bolt action table.

6ft x 4ft – This is our first WW2 table commission. And I have to say it was the most enjoyable model I have ever constructed.

Built in 2ft Squares for storage. Built to our customers specification

With hand crafted buildings featuring removable roofs and floors and individually unique hedgerows, constructed so that not a single piece of foliage is the same. We also left the bottoms of hedgerows exposed so the branches and twigs can be seen – helping add to the ultimate level of authenticity this board has.

Hundreds of little details such as dead leaves, posters, crates, general plant life, litter, a small river that flows across the landscape and little scars such as a craters and bullet damage and far more details than I could ever list makes this table a true representation of the classic bocage terrain that dominated much of the combat in France during the Second World War and proved so deadly and difficult for opposing forces.

I would also be very grateful for any comments/criticism.

Beautiful! It looks like a movie set.

Solid price for it as well. How heavy are the 2x2 tiles?


I'm also currently working on a table thats values at $700-800 in resin terrain and hope to be able to flip it for even a 1:1 of the work I've done.

Thank you very much for all the comments, I really do appreciate it a lot. Thanks guys.

Skymate - I know, it must of been hell trying to fight through this, when I got the camera down to miniature fig level suddenly everything just vanished in a mess of green.

Stevefamine - What kind of table are you working on? I am always eager to see new Terrain. I wish you luck with completing it.

The 2ft tiles are not that heavy actually, 2 - 3kg - I only have a small workshop and I was always moving them back and forth from shelf to bench with no trouble at all. They are based on 1/4 inch MDF with a wood bead around the edge for protection.

Thanks again
