Inspiring stuff!

It looks gorgeous and yet practical to play on, aspects which all too often dont go together well.

Thanks very much, guys

Nice board - where did you get the statues?

As Sterling Moose already mentioned: it is an aquarium scenery piece (don't know who would put things like that in an aquarium...

). I bought it at a local pet shop (see also heimtierinsel24.com).

Please tell us more about sczenario, rules, work in progress.
Where did you get those statues from. Will there be an inside the Temple board ?

I planned to use .45-Adventures as the ruleset (or may be Chaos in Cairo - like these rules, too). As I am not that good at writing scenarios my first idea was to adept a scenario from one of the .45-books. 'Horror of the Golden Calf' (Amazing war stories) comes to mind. Another idea was to use the board as a hollywood film setting in the 20ies. I could use almost any mini here - my gangsters, some imperial roman extras, cowboys, pirates...

An 'inside temple board' is an idea that haunts me for quite a while now. Some kind of pulp-dungeon hack...
Further plans (but not wip yet): at least one further 'central asia' board so that I can exchange the 'Abu Simbel'-module and use the table for bob...

Being picky, I'd say the palm tree foliage looks a little too bright green - think it would have toned in better with the rest of the layout, had the fronds been a little more faded.

You are completey right here. I used some cheap spray paint from the hardware store. The range of available colors was not that great though...

Are the buildings scratch built?

Except for the 'Abu Simbel' ruins the buildings are scratch built.

...any tips on the colours you used to paint the piece?

Some artists acrylics from my local art supply store: Schminke 'Vandykbraun' brushed with Schminke 'Sand' (a german brand afaik). Nothing special but way cheaper than using GW-colors

Cheers,
Hagen

That board is absolutely stunning.

When designing such a board do you consider making the trees and boulders removable?

It seems to me to lessen the versatility of such an awesome board, to have to many fixed pieces. On the other hand the board would probably look less real if they were movable.

I can't stop looking at the large ruin and the ravine leading to it - it looks simply awesome.

Bloody hell, that's awesome!

And there's nothing really that special about it, it's just done really, really well.
Although I do agree that it could be better if the trees etc were movable, but now I'm just being picky.

Actually the palm trees are 'plug-ins' and removable (note to myself: should consider to file a patent on this

), but the boulders are not. I preferred aesthetics over versatility here...

My eyes just exploded! That's all I can come up with at the moment. Need to have another looong look at this beauty!

Words fail me - absolutely stunning does not do your work justice. Could we have more pictures?
