Homemade Global Board with LED lights

Hi Pvt Griff,
Not in any way pressing you… You’re offering to do me a favor. Just wanted to keep myself on your radar to please send me your silhouettes as you are crafting your battle board.

Thanks
Chris

@Lompestein Awesome work! Big thanks for including the .xcf’s and brushes as well, that should help others get a leg-up on their own projects.

Setup complete. Plating against chatgpt now and it made some horrific mistakes. My Italian navy destroyed the British Mediterranean fleet in turn 1 😂

¿Where is the Ecuador line on G40 board? We marked it, as best we can. If you want summer/winter dynamic house rule, this is the geography division, in this board.

@Steiner This board is so cool! I love the colors and how 3D it is. I’d love to see photos with all the units setup!

I think it’s just a part of their board. I think they’ve printed their custom modified playing board onto like a vinyl sheet and the white is just the extra area of the sheet.

@hengst said in Historical Board Gaming Piece Colors:

On this note, is “blonde” or “tan” a better color match for OOB UK G40 pieces?

I think tan is a better match. Blonde is too light a color to be a good match.

Thanks LHoffman,

Your appreciation is my inspiration… because I refuse to use a sheet of glass, my research has lead me to a material called styrene (google it) which is a type of plastic sheet that can be directly printed on. All indications point to this method being the last alternative to glass and although it cost around $240, it looks to be my best option. Even after flushing $300 so far in a crappy print, and installation complications, I’m happy with this new direction if it turns out the way I’ve been told it will. Basically it’s flexible plastic, so it should lie flat without air pockets getting trapped, and because it doesn’t get laminated, the colors should be slightly brighter. If it is sensitive to scratching than there is a clear film sheet by 3M I can look into, that’s where I’m at right now.
