Probably around $400, plus your cost travelling to Green Bay, Wi

oowch… 400$ thats steep, wow but such beuty. :cry:   just to make shure, thats with out the board right?

To be honest, I’d say $400 is cheap for something like this.  The time required to build something of this quality alone would be worth around that.

I agree, if only I could afford it.

Like the others have said, fantastic work guys! But now you’re giving me ideas… that’s always dangerous. Hmm, I have a garage, a saw, could get some lumber…

carefull. last time i got an insperation it turned out …well… :evil:.   a dice tower that is made of foam board that is  riged.   a trap door takes the normal dice and   riged dice stored in a second container are realeced from in side :evil:

Why would you take all the fun out of a game of chance? Do you bet on A&A?

@cminke:

:-D

Man I just ROFLed after reading that.

If you use rigged dice, you probably are a sore loser.

I go with the brain on that one. no one cheats unless they cant handle losing.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

SO ANYWAYS……

How’s that table coming? Sure looks great. Who else is building tables out there? I’m sure we’d all like some pics to drool over. Any more “command centers”? I may be moving to a house soon with a 3rd bedroom I can convert  :-D :evil:

Now that is some serious dedication.

@cminke:

im turning my basement in to an axis and allies bunker.
it’s going to be painted to look like concret, have ammo boxes,  2 tables 1 for the axis and allies board and one for the minis board. its goning to have pics of all the major leaders on the walls, allong with a washed out ncm.  and not to mention the in wall beer bar, pop bar, and 11.2 sourond sound system (yess i ment 11.2)

if you want dedacation listen to this…  my cousins and me drees up useing the real unaforms and assories, and play 1 game in 4-5 days.  we pay normaly untill the combat phase where we use minis, and some times alot of them at once, to decied a battle. we even made a spical unit for each country Ie.the german “ratte” japaniese “yamato class” BB, ECT… wich we also have coustom minis for and yes they are the same scale as tanks… any thing i should add?

Yeah, some boots cause it’s gettin’ deep in here.

Post some pictures please.

Any updates yet?

Wow, this table is so awesome. Very inspiring.

This is the single nicest AA toy I have ever seen.  Very well done!

I know you’ve heard this johnnymarr, but I wanted to say it too… great job!

This is awesome and I am now envisioning my own table when I can afford to buy the material.

One suggestion is similar to what IL said and that is to paint the bottom. Make it smooth and easy to clean and maybe even waterproof so that spills won’t soak into the wood. Also, when you set up a game you can put some stand-offs under the game board. These will raise it up, and with the plexiglass on top, the boards should be completely protected from the occasional disaster.

I speak from personal experience. A comment was made during a game that caused a fountain of Root Beer to spray from a friends mouth evenly across the dining room. Fortunatley he managed to turn away from the game and I didn’t have to unfriend him. Since then I have wrapped my older boards in clear contact paper.
