Brilliant idea!

Very clever and very attractive. I could see that working for other, less chilly settings too.

Consider that idea nicked!

Absolutely first rate!  :-*

If I may be so bold, what method did you use to cut your board? It looks superb and fits together just right!

Let's see...jumping over a crevasse....perilous, of course...but perhaps EXTREMELY perilous?  :D

Thanx, gents....;)

@cutting
I just cutted it with a cheap one-way cutter. Pretty cosiusly not to break anything...

@perious
Yes. We palyed a game of pulp alley on it. All the whole board was perilous and the cracks were very perilous...;)
Worked pretty well, allthough the borad is quite small. We added a rule for fog, so no shooting over 12 inches.

Cheers,
Don

Cool board, and very clever idea to increase the modularity.

Okay,here is alittle bit more terrain for my pulp games...

I always had the idea of a modular gaming bord (transport issues), but the joints never looked right. Then I thought of a way to use them to favour the terrain....:)

So I sat down and made few sketches...took an old styropor thing and scraped a few rough forms...

Thats how it looks with a little sand and paint on it...




I added a water part from some plastic card...;)




You can use the water part to get different styles of playing field.




Corner module...




And you can stack the parts on top of the gaming field to get a little bit more of 3D feeling.

The whole board fits in a usual shopping bag.


Cheers,
Don
This is simply stunning. Very imaginative modular terrain, executed to perfection.

Dont know if that is perhaps more something for the workbench thread, but I ll add it here anyway...;)

I wanted to build some Hong Kong terrain for my pulp games.

And I had all these ideas of Bruce Lee und Jacky Chan fighting in the streets of the red light district...
Okay how could I do it with roofs and streets and cars and all that.
Perhaps a little bit problematic: the next gaming day was the other night, so I just had one night to build all the stuff... o_o

Okay, I am a quick and sketchy scratch builder, but a whole town in one night...no way. Even for a small pulp board.
Than I had the idea of not actually building a town, but just adding a few things to my existing desert town....:)
Add a few billboards and aircon stuff to the walls.

Okay, thats how the desert town looked like. Not very Hong Kong at all..



And here are the materialas I used for the scratchbuilding night...



And the whole stuff glued and painted...



Enough for a 60x60cm board...

Took me around 12 hours...so a pretty long night.... lol

I ll add a few gaming pics...

Cheers,
Don
