In one of my sporadic efforts to focus on projects I'm trying to put the horse before the cart,and getting a few (not just one, of course!) gaing surfaces done.
I also have a dearth of space where I can leave surfaces set up, so I'm usually trying to find storage solutions.
Here is something which may (or may not) be original, which I experimented on using a small scale.
I have no idea whether there are any art experts around; I like to paint and create art stuff; I'm also rubbish at it, but I have fun trying,so it's worth the while.
Here is my latest piece (bear with me, this is not going off-topic) - I call it Blockhouse.

Here's another view - it's not hanging on the wall here, but laid flat...

Those are GHQ tanks on it, the plan is to use this for a small scale version of the Gale Force 9 game 'Tanks'.
In other words, my gaming surface's secret identity is an artwork (well, if you can call it that) hanging from the wall.
Here's a close up:

The blocks could have been painted up as real buildings, but then it would have been less artsy, and I like a surreal battlefield anyway.
Hint no. 1 - hanging art is only limited in size by the expanse of wall and the strength of the nail used to hang it up.
Hint no. 2 - make sure your partner appreciates the art you produce... my lovely spouse does and tolerates a lot, but I'm not convinced she liked this, so I'll hang it in the office probably.
More projects to follow at a glacier's pace.

May I add, you can also leave it hanging on the wall and use it for a 3-D dungeon-crawl skirmish game. Awesome! (And artistic!)

That is a very clever idea, sir.
Bravo!

You can, but I'm planning something more complex for that :D
@Mason: Thank you.
