Ambilzi & Grasshopper's 1940 Global Map (Video Added)

At that price, I might ask you to get one done for me in the new year, I’m currently working on some modifications for a new map with help from Cyanight.

Looks great, and I’m convinced that styrene is the best material to use, do you agree? One thing I noticed different than mine, and that’s the small white border surrounding the map, I wonder if the printer cut it off on purpose.

@louprouge:

i think so me to the styrene is the best , very flat no curve i am agree whit you yes the printer cut the  white border i can’t wait to try my new map but i need to finisch my other game on other global map ‘original’ was began in febuary
yg where you got your industrial complex ? on my other map i put all facility whith sticker for gain place

Which factories do you mean? the gray and black plastic ones?

@Frederick:

Hey YG, is styrene a good material to put away somewhere? Meaning I can’t leave it out really so is it good to roll up and put it somewhere?

It’s the best to print on IMO, and when you’re done… you can make a big roll with it, but I would just slide it up right behind the couch or a large book shelf.

@Yelrae:

I just read this thread after watching your youtube videos young grasshopper. I am going to try and get a vanilla print of the map on styrene. Thanks for the file.

So you’re working on a new map? Any details on that?

Be sure to use a print shop that does all their printing in house, get them to explain all your options and prices for each option, and your concerns should be keeping it flat, and being able to wipe the surface clean.

Not sure what I’m doing just yet… got some ideas rolling around and I want to be sure before I spend a lot of time on something.

Cheers.

@louprouge:

i will play tonight my 1st game whit my new map on styrene wowwo whit gray facility for minor and i take city of game risk for major in german and a paint black for the other
i which to win long time t win:)

How strong is the styrene you got, will it lay flat on it’s own? How are the colours that got printed, are they bright and vibrant?

@Charles:

An excellent map. My complements.  :-D

Thanks, Ambilzi deserves a lot of credit as well although he hasn’t been around these forums for a couple of years now.

@tchenao:

Congratulations on the amazing job. Just got the file printed and it looks amazing. Thank so much for all your efforts.

My question would be, what if I wanted to make it a bit more wide. Lenght is perfect, I just think that a bigger map will make it easy to place all the units in smaller territories. In your experience with printing, is that recommendable?

I think the file would have to be modified which gets tricky because all the color profiles could get reset. You would have to find a printer guy who is well experienced with print files and ask him to stretch it. The last time a print guy modified the file on his computer, all the colors went wash and I had to get my money back.
