Terrific table!  I especially like the padding all around it, complete with nice curves at the corners – it looks very professional.  Are those casino-style chips I see in one part of the picture?

Thanks!  Why yes those are poker chips you see in the picture.

What about those dice towers?  Did you make them or are they available commercially somewhere?

I made those towers.  They will be available shortly for everyone’s enjoyment.  PM me if you are interested.

Yep!  I will be doing all six of the nations in AA50 along with China.  I will also be doing a France and ANZAC one for AAG40.  As well, there will be more that are none Axis & Allies.

Some pics of the towers are attached.

what stencils did you use, roundels? where did you get the inf sillouetts?

Hello all! I am currently building my own custom table but am having trouble uploading pics and/or posting links. Can anyone recommend a good way to upload or link photos? I have a flickr account under MajorTaylor that has some pics.

My board is far from finished. The gaming board itself is 3/4" sanded ply board roughly 36"x60", and map is made out of handcut marble tile. My map is based off of an atlas, so the design is more accurate than the standard boards (Africa looks much better now). I chose tile because it is a material I know very well, and it should make this piece one of a kind. The marble map will look great in my game room, and the table color and design will match the rest of our furniture.

The land territories are made of various colors based each nations pieces and the ocean is black. I am considering using a medium gray grout between the seazones and a black grout between the land territories.

My table will be about 24"-30" high, dark stained wood with drawers for every nations pieces and slide outs for charts, battle boards and map enlargements (if necessary). I have also ditched the traditional sea zones in favor of a square grid system.

I would love to post pics to get everyone’s opinion. Any help you can offer would be appreciated!

You have to have a certain number of posts here to post pics or you can try to get a mod to post them for you.
