Darrell, these are just flat 6mm MDF boards about 15 years old. I have about a dozen of them with different road surfaces, ponds, low profile textures overlaid. Everything else - houses, fields, hedges, walls, trees, etc, just gets placed on top to create the scene. I store these boards flat in a stack. They have never warped. Truthfully, I don't know why people seem to have such trouble with terrain boards! I've got about 15 'sculptured' foam slab boards (temperate and desert), plus a dozen of these flat MDF boards. I've never had any warping from any of them - and they are not reinforced in any way. Honestly, I think it's all about how and where you store them :)

Thanks Richard, indeed thanks again. Apologies for going a little OT again; I think the less risky option for me to start out with is to buy some 6mm boards and just experiment with them. That way I'm not potentially wasting a load of Panel Systems Foam. In other words I need to stop messing around and just do it!  :)

What a wonderful set-up!  :-*

Much more entertainingly though, here is Senor Malamute getting into the spirit of things before the onset of hostilities 

I think Nick should have modeled the hat instead of the helmet. It fits his swashbuckling style better.  ;)

And with the front brim turned up, a Dorsetshire turnip farmer.  lol

I really enjoyed both games Richard. Shame though about the photos not being up to scratch.

I was lying on the floor and shooting the picture upwards...
Apparently that’s how they shot all Sylvester Stallone’s movies too ;)

What an utterly magnificent thread! So much to admire, and the boards are out of this world.

Spectacular table. I thoroughly enjoyed the event. Next time you need a camera rig set up over the table (with a long power lead).

Haha, thanks Steve. Yes, intermittent WhatsApp video for the three remote participants did not prove a particularly rewarding interaction - and quite stressful for those of us actually in the room  lol

I am digging the tache, Nick. Very in-period. Did you grow it specially for the game? That's dedication.
