  Very nice. Looks like a great board to play on. Well done.

I like it. I would happily play games on it.
The whole set up looks very playable. Loads of gaming potential.

That terrain looks great.  Having a decent storage solution for a set of terrain is turning into a big issue for me so seeing a compact functional project like that is great.

Nice work.

I like that... reminds me of the early X-Com games...  :D

The whole thing just works, excellent from conception to realisation. I'm looking forward to seeing it being used with figures.

I love it, works very well, simple but still fun. It might be a bit more interesting with some additional colours for the walls (outside and inside) and floors. If you want to keep the building complex look (which is very effective) I'd go for white or cream coloured walls. I also like the bits of greenery, I've been meaning to add some greenery to my table but haven't done it yet.

That works really well.

What have you used as the outside pavement material, is that a graphic printed onto card?

Looks excellent, I might have to copy that idea if I get around to finishing my Boiler Suited Apes vs Zombies idea (set between PoA 5&1). Cream or white walls might be the thing as Pil suggested.

Actually - if you did that using a 1.5 inch grid you could use that for Hero/Horrorclix too.

It's an aluminium-framed pinboard I had lying around plus some 20cm M10 bolts for legs (see here (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=11230.0;topicseen)).

hmmm... very taken with that idea... is there much flex in the board?

but setting the height to match a small storage crate in the middle.... hmmmm...

i love the table, pretty well executed. If its ok, I might have to steal the idea at a later point. Do you have any plans to add further to it? A mechanical/factory could be an interesting addition, together with a medical facility, lots of options. Really, though, this is excellent, very inspiring!

What a great system, really dense, flexible and reusable.

It must make for some really tight games, no long ranges in it, just up close action.

Fantastic project, I'll have to borrow your ideas soon.  :)

Simple, but very effective - and most important of all, you've completed it, and can play a game on it!
