Late to this thread but an absolutely stunning table and miniatures.
Question, would you mind sharing some pictures of how you store such a table?

I can, but it's not all that exciting
Basically, all the trees, hedges, buildings etc are removable, so you're left with the styrofoam slab boards.
As they're terraformed with some quite chunky terrain features in place, obviously they don't stack neatly on top of each other... Which I guess is your question.

My desert boards (see here https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=52964.1125) are 600mm square foam slabs, so I keep them boxed, with a cube of off-cut styrofoam placed as a spacer on the four corners of each board, to separate it from the board above or below it.

But these big 1200mm x 500mm boards are a different matter. I now have about a dozen of them, and I'm afraid I just prop them up on shelves or against walls wherever I can that they're out of the way. Luckily I have a purpose-built double garage block with a wargames room over it, so I have lots of space to keep toys and parts of layouts...

Do you have an MDF base Richard or just go with the foam slabs?

I'm pondering what width of MDF , if any, I should go for 

[Captain Blood]

Just the foam slabs, Darrell. I've used lots of them down the years. I don't base them on MDF or ply; I don't edge them with anything, I don't even tape the edges. They're solid, rigid slabs - they won't warp; they physically can't bend.

Yes, if you're going to drop them down stairs, generally bash them around, or walk into sharp-edged door frames carrying them, they're going to suffer.
But providing you're scrupulously careful when you move them around (and I've moved these from venue to venue a fair bit) they're as durable as anything else, plus extremely lightweight and thus highly portable and easy to handle. I've had some of these slabs for around 10 years now, and they're as good as new.
(The surface coating of sand/paint/PVA gloop which plasticises and sets hard provides a very useful additional layer of protection).
Provided you have the space to store them (which I totally appreciate many people don't) and a big enough car to move them, I don't really understand why everybody doesn't use this kind of terrain.

ecellent pics and presentation.  The table looks great.  Good job, Rick

[jamopower]

Looks amazing. Also good tips on the tree mounting, thanks for that.

We've been playing the Horse and Musket variant for couple games of Finnish war of 1808 and I have liked the system very much. Have to test it in other settings as well.
