While it looks nice, one bump on any of those tables and that's falling straight down with a thump! :o Watch your toes, that's a big piece of resin! :o

Yeah; I'd prefer to support that big lump with some struts or whatever...
But still; the idea has merit. After all, the biggest issue with tabletop terrain is not the convex, but rather concave terrain, as tables are (for the most part anyway ::) ) solid flat surfaces.
Hammers' example looks really nice btw... 8)

Well, aren't you Mr The Glass is Half Empty today! ;)

I should have written it is not of my making.
-
Oh I got that, but you're the one posting it, so it's your example... :D

Easily prevented just by running a couple of straps around the neighbouring legs of each of the tables so that they can't be moved apart.
-
Strapping the legs together is a great solution.
There's also no reason the lip can't be wider so if things do move it takes a larger movement to cause a real problem.
-
I like the terrain.
I have played around with something like what is posted.
Never really got the look I was after.
Now will have to revisit the idea.
Thanks for posting.
-
It is a brilliant and elegant solution, and avoids having to place built-up terrain over the entire board. I like it!
It also looks like it was purpose-built for those particular tables. Fine for a club, but harder to implement on the fly at new locations. Unless you carry your own tables to conventions as well.
-
I like the idea! Looks cool and solves most issues with tables.

My thoughts too. I think it's the easiest solution.
-
heck if you have dedicated tables you could make a peg and hole system so the rivers slots into the tables.
Man this looks very cool, from the side is probably the worst shot though! Imagine the "regular" tabletop view.
-
Interesting approach, thanks for posting that.
While it offers a good approach to rivers/canyons, I'm also thinking that with different height tables a linking 'hillside' would avoid the billiard table look and help provide a terrain solution I need. Hmmmm.....
-
Indeed. Very good idea and realy worth looking into. Thanks for sharing. ;-)
-
Looks like it might have some built in clamps on the underside to lock it in place on both sides.

I'm just trying to save the tootsies(toes) of my fellow gamers! We're such a physical bunch, I don't want to see anyone's athletic career down the tubes! ;)
......and I think you'll find it's the river that's half empty, not the glass. :DEasily prevented just by running a couple of straps around the neighbouring legs of each of the tables so that they can't be moved apart.
Sorted! That's a great idea! 8)
You could really expand on that river idea. Anything from Grand Canyon style depressions to a cliff that leads from the floor up to bunkers on the top of the table for a Guns of Naverone type game!

We are wargames I don't think we have an athletic career. ::) lol lol
I think it looks good and solves a lot of issues. :D
