    Break time is over. Get back to work.


  • No start over and burn it :evil:


  • Where are you supposed to put your beer? I think cup holders are in order.

    I think cup holders are in order

    i got drink holders on my poker table.  WORST idea ever.  Unless you want you board submerged in beverage, i dont recommend it

    built in Pizza oven

    tables not finished yet, but right now we’re looking at attaching it to the bottom, out of sight


  • Yeah I don’t let anything near my pieces and board, we usually use a TV tray to hold the drinks and snacks so no accidents (and subsequent simpson-esque strangling) occur.


  • I think that there should always be a Tsunami risk. It’s makes the game more exciting.

    Alternate Global Warming scenario?  I guess that would mean the Perry Channel would be open again.  :-P

    Well then I would need to waterproof my board, lol.

    i have no updates.  been really busy and since Europe doesnt come out till August, i’m in no hurry.  i’ve been trying out different stains to see what looks good


  • Rorschach,
    it looks like you have 3D terrain (uneven surface), so are you planning a plexi overlay to play on. Will the tt boarders/names & sz be on the map, or on the overlay?

    I do have a 3D terrain on there!  I am planning a glass overlay (I was going to do plexi, but I found a full sheet of glass for free that can be cut to size instead!).

    I was originally thinking of putting the borders on the glass/plexi, but I have flip-flopped several times on that issue.  The maps highest points will be touching the glass itself, so it won’t be a great distance (the entire thickness from low-point to high-point on the map is only 1/4 inch).  And if I put the borders on the glass, that removes the possibility of using it as an all-purpose game table without having a separate piece of glass/plexi as well.

    So, I havn’t fully decided yet.  I’m going to finish painting the map first.  ;)


  • Thanks that’s what I thought about the terrain. Nice job so far. Maybe you could put the boarders, and such on the underside of the glass, so they won’t wear off. I would consider a second sheet to go over the whole thing for multi use. Maybe a felt covered sheet of wood, to 2nd as a Texas Hold-em table. That way you could also leave the AA game set-up under it.


  • It looks like one big desert. Are you going to paint in the different terrain types?

    Yessir.  One colour at a time … I’m still getting used to the airbrush (it’s been 20 years since I used one).

    what you need is some way to change what maps you are playing, quickly and easily, without any chance of damaging the maps, etc.

    the only option i can think of is to put a big lcd under the table, hooked up to a little laptop with pictures of the maps, etc.

    i guess you could also have laminated maps that slide in and out of glass sheets…
