Flames of War: Building Normandy VLOG [Part Eight]

* Safety Note*
When you use Super Glue / CA Glue with Clump Foliage you get a chemical reaction that creates heat. Be careful not to get Super Glue / CA Glue on your skin and then stick Clump Foliage to it as it can burn the skin with the heat created.
In this VLOG Lloyd gives us the lowdown on the high hedges which are characteristic of the bocage landscape of Normandy.
Building out a boot-camps worth of bocage need not break the bank with Lloyd's handy household re-purposing remedies.
How do you like the look of Lloyd's bush?

I am super excited for the D-Day event. I am a huge fan of FoW, and love to make terrain. I really would like to be able to go see it in person. Well, it is on the bucket list: OnTableTop+D-Day+FoW!!!

[@ezeekiel101]

Really loving this series!

[@timhyland6834]

Great tutorial. Bless ya Lloyd, looking down at what you're working on means you're breathing on the mic like Darth Vader :) Keep them coming boys.

Hi all, Just a quick safety note: Be careful with using super glue / ca glue on sponge clump foliage, it creates a chemical reaction creating heat. Later that night I managed to burn a couple of finger ends for the first time using super glue, as I got some of the clump foliage on the tips and that's where they heated up.

Hey Lloyd. I ran across something terrain builders might be interested in. Wireless LED's. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqS4pHWvp7Spm6c

[@Andrew-se4tg]

Awesome tutorial guys!

[@danielknowles3051]

Was just looking for a Bocage tutorial! This is perfect!

[@LloydJohnston]

Very cool guys, can't wait to see the action.

[@robertmoffitt1336]

These vids are freaking terrific! You guys are super!👍👍

[@Mdhneo007]

So cool! Thanks for sharing with the public.

[@e-4airman124]

what a great show

I'm wondering if the bocage parts will be put on mats the same way the roads will be (to avoid bocage to slide) or just overlapping the edge of the roads. If it slides too much, one option may be to add an extra layer of adhesive tile under it but a bit narrower so it will still overlap the road but will have a bigger surface in contact with the mat. Another question is, why dump the doormat in the floc but not in the sand ?

[@Mikedadof2]

You guys rock from New Zealand

[@harleyhouldcroft]

Love s trimmed hedge me ;)

[@dmchodge]

Yet another example of wargamers getting bocage wrong and perpetuating a myth which seem to have arisen years ago when someone read that the banks in the Normandy bocage country are made up of rocks moved from the fields. In real life the banks on the which the hedges grow were (and still are) covered in undergrowth, sometimes extremely dense undergrowth. The banks are indeed built up with rocks moved from the fields but the rocks are covered in earth on which the undergrowth grows. The banks do not look like piles of stones with a hedge on top, even where the undergrowth is cut and managed (alongside roads for example). In 1944 the US Army produced a pamphlet called Combat Lessons Number 4. A publication produced to “give our officers and enlisted men the benefit of the battle experiences of others”. It includes an article entitled “Fighting in Normandy” which includes the following description of the bocage country. “The terrain in the area selected for the initial penetration of French soil was generally level or gently sloping. However, it was broken up into a “crazy quilt” pattern of small fields separated by “hedgerows.” These consisted of an earthen mound or wall 8 to 10 feet in width and 4 to 6 feet in height, covered with a scrub undergrowth.” Note the "earthen mound". You can read this report at www.lonesentry.com/normandy_lessons/index.html They look great apart from that :-)

are you going to place trains on the rails?

[@Mulberry2000]

great video

[@sainbrian2]

Justin and John, Konflict 47! Wolfenstein ! Storm the crazy nazis with weird tech!

[@RafaMieses]

moooore vlogs!!!!!!!

[@davidkabingue8156]

May I know what exactly is the tiles you guys used? I'm trying to find it.

[@waynedaly100]

You need to watch the WW2 movie Castle Keep.

[@michaelhuxley6337]

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to use PVA woodwork glue instead of super glue?

[@fredrik7503]

Thanks for a fantastic series! What did you use for the roads? They look great!

[@NotTheStinkyCheese]

Floors + wallpaper that looks like cobblestones. They've explained that at the start of the series : kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5mpeqOYaLGLsJI The entire Normandy vlog series is about all the things they build and do to create the terrain

[@fredrik7503]

Thanks

[@dragon121978]

Would you have a list or the Stl files for the items you 3D printed and could they be used for bolt action

[@dragon121978]

Gerry mcCabe great thanks

[@magicroundabout5076]

can you let us all know the 3D printer you are using, and the files you are using for the houses, and walls. possibly a video on their production?

[@ryanmckichan7630]

I had the same question! Maybe Justin is modeling them too!!??

[@bullnut2013]

IIRC all of the printed building STL's came from Printablescenery.com.

[@obxsocom]

Any updates on the file used and for the castle?

[@littlejimmy5020]

Some sort of street birdcage?

[@cade9880]

What exactly are those tiles?

[@corvusboreus2072]

Hardware stores and building suppliers usually have thin acrylic floor tiles with adhesive backing. They are often coloured and textured to resemble materials like cork and slate. They can be cut with a hobby knife or scissors. I use them as terrain bases for small items like hedges, and have also used them to make sections of rivers.

[@CGhee135]

Where are the buildings you guys have been using from?

[@bullnut2013]

See my reply above.
