Something that should probably be mentioned. What is called "plastic card" in the UK is usually sold in the US under the name "Sheet Styrene." This is awesome for building scale models and many modelling shops will actually carry little miniature girders and ladders and such as well as sheets of Styrene textured to look like brick, concrete or even steel diamond plate.
It's not boardgamey. Board games involve a board and various card and plastic tokens and a few dice. This is WARGAMING, specifically miniature wargaming - a completely different can of insects.
A chimney saved a family member’s live in ww2, she was caught in the in the bombardment of The Hague in 1944 I believe, Bezuidenhout it is called. A bomb went of not that far away from her and all kinds of stuff where hurled her way, but a chimney that was standing between her and the blast caught a lot of what was coming her way and she wasn’t hit by big falling stuff. She survived very shaken, deafened and bruised and murm, like she was tumbled in a dryer but she survived. She was always convinced that if not for that chimney she would have caught a brick to the face or something.
I love watching these videos! I have wanted to make these types of terrain maps for years but I don't play or rather I don't have anyone to play with. So I am living vicariously through you. Thank you!
I used to this kind of stuff all the time when I was younger and then I grew up and I never stopped doing it...so I guess I still do this kind of stuff...Great modelling.
Lindy, I was wondering, do you have any neoclassical building? If you don't, how would you do it? It is quite common in the bigger cities. Also, a central european multi coloured building would be nice. This game seems to be focused on rural, little outside locations though.
About chimneys...my husband (native of Los Angeles) says that that's how you can tell if the place has had an earthquake instead of some other disaster. In an earthquake, the chimneys will all be down/destroyed, but the houses (most of them) will be standing.
Fantastic stuff! It's the motivation I need to get my buildings made for my slot cars set. Oh, now that it's 2021, maybe the next building set we need is the homeless encampments that we have all over Los Angeles (tents and disabled motor homes under freeway overpasses)?
Oi! Lloyd! What's your take on the historical accuracy of the Mount and Blade games, specifically weapons and tactics. (Well, Mount and Blade is a hyper-low fantasy game, so it can't be called historically accurate...look, does the correct stabby bit hit the guy standing in the right place?)
I really love all of your videos, but I just have to do some point out one thing. Some of the buildings seem to be completly burnt out and yet there is still wallpaper on the walls. Wallpaper is usually made out of paper and paper burns pretty well. Sorry about this, but it really bothered me (I wish it didn't).
Well, that would depend on how much burning had happened before the building collapsed. It doesn't take much of a fire to blacken things. A fire confined to a chip pan can do that. I had imagined that these buildings had been bombed, and had collapsed less because of fire and more because of explosions. Yes, you could model a charred stump of a building, and that would make life easier. The buildings at the end of Saving Private Ryan are at the other end of the spectrum: damaged by artillery but still with most of their roofs on, and the wallpaper still clean. My wallpaper is smudged all over with black paint. It's a quick way to add lots of detail.
Ingenious tips ion making 1/72 scale (?) war damaged models . So they all placed on a map , in the loft - like model railways(?), and 6’2” mature men crawl around with model soldiers, and weapons calling out bang! bang! Are dice thrown ? How does this compare with playing duplicate Bridge, where the opponents can be very nasty people.
Yes cats can cause unprecedented destruction. Mine ravaged the ranks of my opponents greatswords. I slipped him a fiver at the end of the battle for a job well done.
I keep thinking of ways to use the info in these wargame scenery vids to do things on my N scale layout. That soaking the paper in PVA glue could perhaps be used to build up bricks for adobe type walls (fold and squash and let dry), or just do the whole wall at once, laid flat an let dry, or just sheathe the whole thing like you did and let it dry, forming molding and sculpting it 3-D around the corners and apertures. Always interesting to hear the contrasting views of history. Apparently, according to the armchair experts on here, everybody who ever was an enemy or dared to disagree with Britain was wrong, stupid, and evil. Funny, that sounds an awful lot like *our* armchair experts, talking about the Brits. I wonder if both could be biased...
I would rather play something like Company of Heroes 2, or something in a similar, WW2 setting where you could import models and textures virtually. This seems like a lot of work.

ALAGOR ROGALA 3d printing is just an added tool helping you building something by hand. You 3d design on your pc the part you want the way you want, you print it, you paint it, how can you say it's not a product of your creativity?
Andrea Roll oh i never implied that it wasn't a product of you're creativity.. but really what i men't was is you can break an object down in to several parts and then use those parts to build something instead of printing the model itself, that implies putting together a work of art out of pieces by you're very hands physically not digitally, of course printing the parts would be an entirely different scenario, think of it as cooking a great meal or otherwise replicating it from the shipboard replicator, sure you or someone has to design the meal in order to replicate it but you don't actually personally create it at least not in a physical sense. it's all creative of course but in a different way and some people prefer the joy of creating something by hand, which cannot be printed. and yes using a 3d printer is a step by step scenario but some people prefer to physically build something with there hands.
The amount of craftmanship and man-hours that have to be put into these, is astounding.
Doesn't he quite often specifically point out how surprisingly simple and easy a lot of it is to do?
I'd imagine that the first of any of the techniques would take some time, but gradually you'd be able to make the models a lot quicker and better.
Daniel Cockling ...still impressive though
Oh yeah, definitely would take a lot of practice to get to the standard that those models are at.

I have absolutely no interest in these kinds of boardgamey things but I'm loving these videos for some reason!
I think it's just hearing Lloyd talk about something he cares so much about that makes it good.
Nice video. You may also want to checkout the review of model buildings on my blog at *ericreviews. com/model-buildings-review/* Thanks. Pkl Boris.

I would probably enjoy building the map more than playing on it.
Housecats, more lethal than thermonuclear weapons, V2 bombs, and Deathstrike Missile Launchers put together.

Cat litter is a much more important part of this hobby than I thought it would be.
I used to this kind of stuff all the time when I was younger and then I grew up and I never stopped doing it...so I guess I still do this kind of stuff...Great modelling.
The store bought parts blush at the sight of your, in every way superior, homemade set pieces. Impressive!
I miss these vids
Good god. The craftsmanship. It's brilliant.
Can you teach us to make a model of a modern major general?
Well, for that you'd need information on vegetables, animals and minerals.
Daniel Carrier And to be able'to tell the difference between a Mauser Rifle and a Javelin.
Those buildings aren't hot enough to be models.
I am ALL model on this blessed day!
Luxpulcher .
I used to be .........(:-)
Your models are absolutely fantastic, I would love to have some of those for RPGs or war games.
Lindy, I was wondering, do you have any neoclassical building? If you don't, how would you do it? It is quite common in the bigger cities. Also, a central european multi coloured building would be nice. This game seems to be focused on rural, little outside locations though.
No, I haven't done anything that fancy. That would be a very major project.
@@lindybeige lawd! you done ratioed the poor boy!😭😭😭
Nothing like building models while watching Lindybeige
Germany could have really used your cat in world war 2.
I knew my cat was good for something more than sleeping and purring. He excels at both.
I dredd the thought at the destruction that my dog could inflict with her tail.
Your models are very impressive. Amazing work.
About chimneys...my husband (native of Los Angeles) says that that's how you can tell if the place has had an earthquake instead of some other disaster. In an earthquake, the chimneys will all be down/destroyed, but the houses (most of them) will be standing.
Very nice. Also true about cats who can roll a 1/16 scale Konigstiger on a whim.
And that's why I just play Battle Fleet Gothic. All of the "terrain" can fit in a an envelope;-)
I love this, they're really, really nicely done. Good job!
I love the details on the white burned house
They are beautifully made. Great job.
Your models are AMAZING!
I do love these videos
Wow, this is amazing man, great work!
Wouldn't mind seeing more of this, it may proof to be a good idea for photography as well
SIG442 you could make some really interesting perspective shots if you tried
Danny Richie That was indeed the goal
Fantastic stuff! It's the motivation I need to get my buildings made for my slot cars set. Oh, now that it's 2021, maybe the next building set we need is the homeless encampments that we have all over Los Angeles (tents and disabled motor homes under freeway overpasses)?
One day I hope to be as creative and diverse as you, lindybeige
Cheers for the blotting paper tip, that's one I'd managed to miss so far.
"A lot of destruction is wrought by cats. I know of one that destroyed the entire Russian front." What a catastrophe!
I love dioramas and miniatures
They look amazing!
these are so well made!
Awesome video.
these models are so amazing :D
You need your own museum gallery.
At 1:30 ish is the paper you mention like starch paper making what you are doing like paper mâché?
Respectfully,
Nathan
God these are gorgeous. Great to see such passion.
Do you find the work calming?
Have you thought of doing a small battle of crossfire with a friend so can see more how it works?
amazing skill
You said cat litter!
I feel you could write a book on crafts you can make using cat litter.
Hi Lindy what scale are your miniatures you play with ?
Kenny Hempson I suspect they are either 1:72 or 1:76, I think he says in one of his (many) videos about tanks.
Thanks, In the middle of making printed houses for my DnD at the moment. Do you remember what site you got 2:55 ?
I rather enjoy when wind sends my vacuum formed terrain flying across the room.

So these are what all houses look like in Birmingham?
what scale are the vehicles/figures ?
nice walls.
I know!
Make an opinion about the Starwars Prequels

Lindybeige Artillery is a good point. Didn't really think about that. Nontheless, beautiful scenery :)

I was lucky enough to get some chuldren 30mm castings ww2 Germans and Russians. Would look so great in your rubble. Looks good lindy
I laughed my ass off about the cat
About that thing with the cat and the russian front... sources please.
how long did it take you to build this whole map?
Yes cats can cause unprecedented destruction. Mine ravaged the ranks of my opponents greatswords. I slipped him a fiver at the end of the battle for a job well done.
Towards the end of the war German armoured cars were incorporating card and plaster.
I was thinking of mixing sand, pva and brown poster paint to create ww1 style battlefield
I'm waiting on your movie review. Of plague.
"The Patriot," was a non-historical homicide-influenced comic film. Beautiful to look at however. "Revolution," had the realistic battle scenes.
Lindy, did you ever think of getting a 3D Printer?

Maybe they should build buildings out of chimney stacks and staircases
Were you washing up before filming this? You have wrinkly fingertips.
make a podcast
Certainly the Nazis would have won the war if only they employed more cat's in their Army.
I would say the best Model houses are made by RT-Diorama
Couldnt you use that vacuum molded thing as a mold itself?
Removable roofs is why the French lost at Verdun in The First WWI...
I would rather play something like Company of Heroes 2, or something in a similar, WW2 setting where you could import models and textures virtually. This seems like a lot of work.
Max Silva I won't hide it, I am a lazy bum and proud.
@@douglasfulmer5483 laziness isn't something one should be proud of. It is something to be reviled.
8 people are Uber purists of model making or are extremely jealous.
Or they simply do not approve of stealing your cat's hygiene products. What will the poor kitty do now?
I want to pillage that place with my dark eldar.
cat litter works well

First
Be sure to read Model Buildings review on my blog before you buy. Go to *garyreviews. com/model-buildings-review/* Thanks. Burt.
Why were your hands so pruny in this video?
It looks like you just got done swimming or washing dishes.
Could save a lot of money and just buy a copy of Company Of Heroes.
That game is garbage. At least get men of war assault squad 2.
And besides, tabletop gaming is better than video games.
you definitely need to buy a 3d printer!
sometimes the joy of building something by hand can't be printed.
