Building a gaming table with Grimm

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Last weekend my good friend Grimm has visited me and I have been teached how to build a gaming table. I mean, a really good one, not that boring stuff I used to make in the past. We had really great time, drunk gallons of beer, we ate good, had lots to laugh and talk, I learned hunderts and one things about terrain building and we've managed to build a lovely (and huge 4,20x1,80m ) gaming table.  The german "division" of the Lead Adventure Club will play on it end of july.

Grimm, mate, thank you, you are an inspiration!

Awesome (and enormous!)

Grimm looks very serious and happy in those pictures. Good luck with the rest of construction, and happy gaming with it!

That's quite the chunk of real estate!  Any plans to raise it off the floor or all you all members of the 'SKAAB' club? (Sore Knees and Aching Backs!) 

[Drunkendwarf]

Very inspirational!

The photo's make a nice tutorial, it is a pity I don't have the space to store such a table. Maybe I should start with a small one.....

Great table!

[Ray Rivers]

Holy Moley!

What a table!

Looks like it probably took a least a couple of crates of beer to build!

Well done.

[Driscoles]

Definately a good one.

[DFlynSqrl]

Outstanding!

And just the inspiration I needed to get back to my terrain project. 

[Gluteus Maximus]

Ah, I knew Grimm was a good sort! Not only is he extraordinarily talented, but he's also in the goatee club.

Splendid

Superb work guys. What wargaming is all about

Spiffy stuff there!

That's a pretty good deal there Professor. From what I can see, all the pictures show Grimm hard at work building you a table and you're always behind the camera. 

Looks like a great board and I can't wait to see pictures with games running on it.

First, I need a garage.
Second, I have to catch a Grimm in it.

Seems to be useful having both at hand.
Nice work!

First, I need a garage.
Second, I have to catch a Grimm in it.

Exactly my two problems.
By the way, outstanding work.

Great work there from Grimm and having seen some of his terrain at TACTICA it must be awesome.

A couple of questions though:

1) I assume the wood strips are to protect the edges, did you protect the underside with anything?

2) Could the large cliff area have been made from a wooden structure and then faced with thinner foam to possibly make it stronger and lighter?
