Lucky enough to have played on this board at Warfare 2018. Alan and his club mates were so welcoming. Definitely the highlight of the convention for me
The only way that someone wouldn't feel inspired after seeing your work is if the person was dead inside that was an amazing work of art absolutely beautiful workmanship I really appreciate your video
Amazing scene. Very inspiring. The chemical factory and the sewer system are so perfectly made. The brick paper gives it such a realistic look. Well I give you 20/10 for this masterpiece. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
Absolutely stunning. Simply one of the best tables I've ever seen. Would look great as a diorama, let alone as playable terrain. Gives me so many ideas for my own terrain, especially the Idea of sewers and basements that can be covered up or left open to change different games.
@@bene8168 I reckon every kid that gets bored would look at the miniatures and think "if only I could play with this with my toys". Then wreck it, having some guy collapse in grief at the debris of his magnets opus.
Huge props man and yes I am inspired. I want to do the same thing for Pavlov's House are with trenches, sewers, etc. Very nicely done, and thank you for sharing your ingenuity and creative ways of building such an awesome battlefield!
All I can say is this guy is a truly keen war gamer who wants/has a uber wicked play field with all the details.....and he put in the effort with wicked modelling skills.
Absolutely gorgeous work, I wish I had four buddies like you! Edit.... 30 people didn't like it!?! What's not to love? I mean if they're trying to make some sort of statement against real war why are they watching videos about game tables.
I've gamed on some of Alan's other creations, Arnhem, D Day and Tobruk. he is an excellent modeller with a great imagination and is also a first class bloke.
Completely amazing work. I want to know why anyone would have given thumbs down on this. What rude and bland folks they must be. Fantastic work and completely amazing.
My ex took the light bulbs and cut holes in the crotch’s of all my pants , and wrote “flick you” on the mirror , I knew what she meant, lol , oh well it gets better
Incredible work. I would never have guessed at first glance that it was an interactive diorama, and have never seen or heard anyone discuss a mix and match table with removable parts. I imagine being able to play or wargame on this would give a higher appreciation, as the smaller dioramas I've done I can hardly touch for fear they'll fall apart. Also, great use of simple materials would have kept costs down while still retaining a realistic effect. At first, I thought everything must have been individually built, painted and weathered down to the last brick, but your willingness and innovation really work.
Can't help mentioning what I'm sure everyone's thinking - There's serious commercial potential for this type of modelling, across the entire range of model games, trains, etc. Great work!
@Mark Cramer Just checked out your FB page, good stuff, all of it. My father had a friend who did dioramas for the Australian War Museum decades ago, and what I notice is something quite similar - The environments have to have that level of life in them, to work. Has to be more than "a place", needs to have that level of actual "in progress" look to it to work.
Outstanding! An inspiration. I like the use of electrical tape to hold the tiles together. Have you experimented with building magnets into the edges of the tiles? That's something I've been considering recently, as a solution to that same problem.
Did you paint the sides of the railroad rail a rusty color. I love airbrushing my train set track with Mission Models Rail Tie Brown. nice diorama 😊 Also recommend you ballast the track
At first I thought: Yeah, that's really a pretty table. It's a pity, that it offers no modularity... Then I watched the video till the end. Absolutely amazing. Mission accomplished I'd say - I'm really really inspired. That is the same approach I follow when building terrain but I have not much city terrain yet. How long does it take to set up the table like that from blank plates to what we see in the video? One or two hours at least I would think but the high modularity is a well worthy trade-off!
alan sheward outstanding work, mate. I thought it was awesome at the time, but even more impressed after watching the vid and discovering it's all modular. I wish I had a fraction of your talent!
Great Video, just a little correction, the Lazur Chemical Plant was actually attacked by the Germans, although not taken, as the main focus of the attack was at this point indeed on the other factories.
Anybody remember reading scholastic like books depicting ww2 battles in full color? They even showed troop/ tank formations, even including troop ambush diagrams.

For what scale was it?
@@thekameleon9785 not OP, but I think this is 28mm or about 1 :56 scale.

Thankyou AL
or someone who has numerous of projects left unfinished- still one hell of a project he made
Cleaning lady walks in after closing hours:
Look at this mess! Dirt on the table!
Oh My God... i felt this... it hit me hard...
Stunning. The fact you can play on it is just a bonus at this level!
This is very well put together, cheers from Berlin Germany

Finally a video title, which is not completely exaggerated.
It is absolutely impressive! 100% likes speaks for itself.
This is what PASSION looks like...........
Kudos Sir!!
That wall sliding bit is inspirational! Nice!
mind blowing work, you can almost hear the rifle fire!! great job Alan
Amazing and very inspirational work
Wow a true work of gaming and miniature art. Your work is museum quality, love the brick work and rubble.
axel usul the miniatures were always my favourite part in museums as a kid, if I knew I could play with those kid me would’ve got his mind blown

Fantastic and yes, I’m inspired! Thanks for sharing!
This board is beautiful! Wow!
It really is!
Thats looks awesome!! More of a large diorama than a gaming table!!
Very impressed!!
Absolutely gorgeous work, I wish I had four buddies like you!

awesome work of arts....keep on building buddy!!
That is my dream Stalingrad table for my Bolt Action Rooskies
Completely amazing work. I want to know why anyone would have given thumbs down on this. What rude and bland folks they must be.
Fantastic work and completely amazing.
Thankyou
i love this warmed my heart would love to embark on a project like this
Fantastic Board, just got into Bolt Action and purchased the Stalingrad Starter Kit. Can't wait to build the terrain that's included in that.
How did you manage to make this ......
My wife left me and took the TV .
Oh shit I'm sorry to hear that.
@@gasmonkey1000 Not necessary to be sorry -it could have been for the best :)
@@johnnybgoodeish less time in front of the telly and more time wargaming! ;)
HHHHHAAAAAA. Exactly.

Did we ever find out what kit the overhead crane was? I'm looking to track that down if possible.
Absolutely fantastic
Can't help mentioning what I'm sure everyone's thinking - There's serious commercial potential for this type of modelling, across the entire range of model games, trains, etc. Great work!
@Mark Cramer Pity, It's good, flexible, adaptable stuff. Did The Wargamer or any of the others cover it?

Very impressive piece of work. Bravo to an outstanding job.
Thanks Christopher cheers Alan
Impressive. I am building a WWI railway layout. It’s never ending. I hadn’t thought about a war gaming use.
Funny how i am also working on a ww1 layout myself. It's a small 3 trench game which started as a diorame in a box. But now it's a portable game.
I've really wanted to start bolt action for ages only reason never played it cause got no one to play it with what a awesome battle board to play on
Adorably beautiful!
Gorgeous board
This is really cool, good work bro!
Unreal, would love to play some bolt action on that table.
Outstanding! An inspiration. I like the use of electrical tape to hold the tiles together. Have you experimented with building magnets into the edges of the tiles? That's something I've been considering recently, as a solution to that same problem.
Wow 😳, that's awesome. All that work.
WOW this is SO AMAZING! GREAT WORK OF ART!! DETAILS MAN WONDERFUL!!
It's like a men of war map but way better, good work!
Amazing! Can you tell me where you got the embossed brick paper??
Очень реалистично сделано! Автор молодец, ему терпения не занимать )
love versatility of sewage tunnels and buildings
This is certainly amazing !
Great table you’ve created a master piece
Looks I have to buy a copy of the January 2020 Wargames Illustrated (issue 387). Great looking table!
Beautiful!
Absolutely fantastic! You've inspired me, so cheers!
Awesome table! 👍🏻
Superb game board. Wish you lived on this side of the pond, in my neighborhood.
Omg so happy i found this channel
Amazing! Well done.
FUCKING AMAZING!!!! great detail and lots of hours spent on it...
A work of art, thank you for your creativity.
Cheers AL
This is phenomenal
Outstanding work Sir
Absolut perfect! Greetings from Germany!
Absolutely incredible, Alan! Nice work!
very nice!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Stunning work 👍🏻
Did you paint the sides of the railroad rail a rusty color. I love airbrushing my train set track with Mission Models Rail Tie Brown. nice diorama 😊 Also recommend you ballast the track
Very impressive
Brilliant.

45 mins cheers AL
Amazing. Would be great to have worked on this table. Looks like a lot of fun. Well done
Amazing
Looks like a battlefield 1 level. Especially the corner wall sections
Amazing stuff, would love to play on this.
Brilliant. Is it months OR years of work?? You are a very talented man.
This is magical. Wow I love it. Id love to see a game on it
Impressive!
Awesome job, makes me want to improve my urban game board for Warhammer 40k because this is just next level awesome
Was this at Nottingham? I seem to remember walking away from this table thinking I was giving up on modelling. Absolutely amazing, well done folks.
Yes for the game and photo shoot cheers Alan
alan sheward outstanding work, mate. I thought it was awesome at the time, but even more impressed after watching the vid and discovering it's all modular. I wish I had a fraction of your talent!
Great table. Where are you located
@@alansheward7917 do you play bolt action or Konflikt 47 in that board
Terrific .
Wow. Really cool.
This is fantastic.
Amazing work, any idea where to get the textured paper used for the walls?
Off EBay
@@alansheward7917 thanks!
@@PhilipSpence Starboc1 from Greece he still deals on e bay cheers AL
@@alansheward7917 that’s amazing. Thanks!!
Awesome!
Wow I feel inspired
Awesome table! My jaw dropped to the floor...
Great!
I love it 😎👍
I'm glad you like it

Well done all brilliant terrain
That’s amazing
BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Perfect!!! Like videogame map....

This board really makes me want to play Bolt Action. So many different scenarios here.
Brilliant
Really nice board; like the detailing and options with the sewers and changeable buildings. How long did it take to make?
Over three different build stages all together about 5 months cheers AL
your my hero bro
Truly a work of art!
Did see this at Warfare last year, brilliant, just brilliant!
Awesome my friend
