The boards are great and also usable for colonial projects. So you build something for a long time of fun and games.

Many congrats! All your work on the boards was systematical and well planned and starts to show more and more! I like all four of them, each one has its own beauty!
And you made them so sturdy and durable, I wish you play many enjoyable games! Eager to see the whole set finished! Cheers!

Absolutely fantastic work! You got the color and the vegetation just right to make it look like a real desert. At first I thought it might be a little bland but the final result really puts every doubt away!

Okay then... Here are the first four boards finished, complete with palm tees spiked in - I've used less than half the trees I've done. Don't want it looking too lush!

The project is not finished though, as I am going to add three further boards. Probably a village, a crossroads, and an open area of flat desert...

In a 2 x 2 configuration, these four 600mm x 600mm boards, orientated in different ways, provide a lot of possible different layouts.
Total board size, obviously, is 1200 x 1200, or roughly 4ft x 4ft. Perfect for a small convention style game with just a few vehicles and men on each side.

Here are the boards in various configurations...













Here with some Perry figures and assorted Perry / Blitzkrieg / Rubicon vehicles in situ for scale...
















Sorry, couldn't resist this... Well, it is the desert...




Might even do for the Crusades as well - except the figures' flipping bases are painted for temperate climes, not desert...  ::)
