Re: Sired's Map project - Updated- 4/16 - files available see first post
Anyone who knows if it was intended that Sired blood changed the IPC of Celebes from 3 to 4 on his OOB map?
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.

Looks good Rorschach. Finish the darn thing.
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…

Yeah, like I said, I don’t want to take away from the thread … just figured i’d throw something in there since it’s been a while since the origonal poster updated.
I’m not making any more updates on mine here … I’ll post more when I’m done, in my own thread, in the appropriate sub-board.
