TOPIC: Using 3mm terrain |
You have to buy golden brown and paint it I'm guessing! Mark "Extra Crispy" Severin |
I love that base cloth. It's a lime green faux mink throw from Amazon; much bigger than 6'x4' so works well with terrain shapes placed under. I also randomly sprayed it on the clothes line with patches of darker green and a sandy colour. A little goes a long way |

Due to space, I play most of my games anymore at half scale, so that my 3x5 table becomes a 6x10. I confess that miniatures smaller than 6mm have been disappointmen for me, too much detail is lost. But the combination of 6mm miniatures and 3mm terrain is very very effective, With a little expansion, I can play Auterlitz or Mars la tour, or Gettysburg on a dinning room table. |

After recently reading one of your posts regarding TBM 3mm buildings, plus they've been on my watch list for a while decided to try them out. Got them a couple of weeks ago. These are great and just what I'm after. I Just wish their 3mm range was a lot more like the BM stuff. Regards, Steve |
Standard User Posts: 6 Charles the Modeller 15th Feb 2019 04:48:07 I use the brigade model buildings for large scale WW2 games. I find they look much more pleasing and realistic than larger 6mm buildings, particularly if you can get a hefty number of them together. My tabletop scales are all over the place, but I suspect no more than anybody else’s. You can see some pics here on my blog

Amazon.co.uk sell the above cloth as a lime green faux fur fleece, It has short tufts on one side (as above) and longer tufts on the reverse (great for those who also game in 28mm). It also takes acrylic spray paint well to break up the monotony of the lime green. A little goes a long way |

Indeed they do. The Mediterranean/Italian range is particularly good and excellent value. Really good for the Great Italian Wars through to the present. A little goes a long way |
