Wow, pure eye candy...one of the best and most fun looking boards I've ever seen. I wish I could make something like that...

Wonderful! The attention to detail is amazing, but it's the way all those details are part of the larger theme that is so impressive - love the body in the dunking tank, for example, and the knife thrower's act is great. The detail of the cracked asphalt on the road is beautifully done, but the big top steals the show, of course, as well it should. How did you do it? Is the roof something you built, or something you repurposed? Wonderfully done, in any case!

Thanks! The road was done with foamcore and filer, basically. You can get some great damage effects with foamcore with some patience! The bigtop roof was scratch built, it was actually my second attempt to get the shape right. It uses a foamcore frame and canvas, I am super happy with how it turned out!

That is truly fantastic!! :o :o ;D ;D :-* :-*

As has already been said I love the details. My favourite being the body in the dunk tank!! That's right up there with Overlords shark in a tank for his 7TV board!!

You think you've seen all the stuff that can be done in wargaming, then somebody comes along with something like this and renews your faith in wargaming! Such inspiration!

The roof is scratchbuilt? Fanastic work, Exploding Youth. It's perfect. I'm always impressed when somebody combines artistic sensibilities and - dare I say it? - mathematics, to produce something like this. Brilliant. Thanks also for the tip on the road surface - it looks great.
I have to ask - you built this on a commission, so, do you have any plans for a gaming board of your own? I think I speak for others on the forum too when when I say that I hope so!
