IHMN game boards (Guide to Cobbles on page 4)

[Dewbakuk]

Have you been over to look/get them yet?

Next week for a look-see, such a shame about the 'proper' boards but even if the 221B are half as good as the photos I have seen over the years, I think we will be happy chappies until the others are ready.

Any chance of some photos of the 221B Baker St boards? Pretty please? 

[Grimjack]

Do you know, I was hoping to post some here but now cannot find them! I think there were some on here a few months ago or it might have been Frother's? I looked on The Bunker website but nothing in there gallery. Having been aware of them for years, I DO know that they have all the locations and more that one can find on the 221b Baker Street boardgame - docks, park, pub, etc.

We are having a look at them 'in the flesh' on Wednesday, I shall try to take some piccies for all to see.

OMG!! They are supercalafragilisticexpialadocious!

Thank you for the link. I'm now going for a little lie down...

[Grimjack]

Thanks for finding the pictures, I was starting to believe that I was going nuts!

Now, how about THOSE for a sliced of fried gold?

Hey Dewbakuk,

I have shamelessly stolen your idea for my cobblestone streets for my Empire of the dead London gaming board. I looked at using lentils for the cobbles but found something even better IMO. It's called pearl cous cous. It's available here in Oz , not sure about elsewhere but it has a nice round shape about 1.5mm thick. It's giving a real nice cobble stone effect. I'll post a pic when the board is finished.

Cheers
Fuzzy.

I was trying it to be helpfull to others

I look forward to seeing the result, I think we can get pearl couscous.

Thinking of finding an alternative that would be more durable (though it would require painting), I wonder how big those plastic pellets intended for stuffing are?

The best I have seen is raw LDPE granules that they use for extruding polythene.  I used to have a couple of sources but alas not any more.

I doubt durability is an issue. Now the pva has been applied and some paint is on, the cobble area is pretty damned solid.

Yep, agreed. Still got that bag you gave me.

Hey Dewkabuk,

Are you still working on those beautiful boards that you were planning for Salute?  If so can we have an update?

I think that I am not alone in wanting to see how they turn out?
