Im not talking about a digital Map, but a real one. I consider myself very artistically minded so I think I could do it without it looking too bad. What materials would I need, how much time would it take? I wanna do a global map from about 1920.

@The-Plastic-Commando Oops, found it. Thanks for the great work Tjoek. I plan to download and get a map printed. I’ll post it and discuss on my YouTube channel soon.

@Chacmool @The-Plastic-Commando
I just noticed the download links where wrong. So please re download the files if you already did so.
Not a big issue, but both links had harbour icons and I cleaned up a very small border defect in Russia. You most likely won’t have noticed it anyways ;-) -

One more update to the files:- Colors are slightly warmer
- Reduced dark contrast between some territories and new artwork for the Sahara in Libya, Egypt and Anglo-Egyptian Sudan
-
My file went to a local printshop and they expect the map to be ready in slightly more then a week. I will post pictures in comparison with the real board when I’ve received it.

This looks AMAZING!!! Thank you very much @Tjoek

@Tjoek Finally found a print shop that can print me a 48x48 map on scrim vinyl! It’s in final production. Will post after receives. 😊

Absolutely beautiful Tjoek! A work of art in my humble opinion. Got it today 48x48 on scrim vinyl. It rolls up nice and despite a few creases in the pic lays flat. The colors are eye popping and that Holland roundel looks awesome! 😉I will be discussing the map further at some point on my YouTube channel. Sincerely, just an outstanding job.

Thanks for showing the results! This looks amazing.I’ve had issues getting the colours right on my local printshop so I’m actually reworking on the color correction. Glad it worked out for you. Do you know if your printshop edited the files before printing? If so do you by any chance know what they did? This might help me.

I believe it’s the print shops software or what ever they have. I printed up Siredblood’s map and it came out with a red tint. Another map was deluxe. The blue was darker.
I was told those 2 map files where made on photo shop. So if printer doesn’t print in photo shop the colors are a bit different
Don’t know if that helps.
Another thing was my magnetic charts where made with a Mac in photo shop I believe and the color of charts were way off what I wanted.I’m sure IL or somebody knows the fix

@Tjoek I know my print shop had to save to PDF format and they did adjust the size. I got a proof and the size change did not seem to impact either the quality of the map or color. I dropped off my thumb drive and got the final product in 4 days!

Thanks for the file. I just built a 1942 map with a bunch of extra territories that include the Sahara. I always was fond of the North Africa campaigns, so that was a must have for my custom map.

@Tjoek I posted a video discussing your map download for 1914 on my YouTube channel. The map turned out great…I just need a bigger table 🤣
