It still get snagged and ruffled during transportation. I got strips of very thin plastic and glued them on. Works as a charm.

I did eventually, but went for much simpler boards - mdf framed with wood.

And they turned out bloody good, too. I think there's some good pics of them in the Sharp Practice AARs.

A friend of mine has a board made purely from the white polystyrene, it's probably around 3-4" thick but isn't mounted on any wood at all. It's just cut into 2' squares and wrapped in duct tape. I have been amazed at how well it's stood up to gaming. The top is covered in filler and foliage and has integral hills on some of the pieces. It's been used fairly regularly for a couple of years and has suffered less damage than some of the more complex boards I've worked on. As long as you aren't intending to travel with it much it can be fine.
This is how I did mine; as blue/pink foam is apparently illegal here in Denmark  ::)

Thorbjørns told its something to do with the fumes it gives off. I can't see how it's any worse than expanded polystrene, but apparently it is and imposible to get here. My view of Danish law wasn't particularly high as it was before I found out and sunk a bit further after I found out why.

As a note this is also the land the refused to sell Marmite!
