WOW! ... WOW! ...and WOW!  

Thank You

Good Heavens!   What a layout!   I envy your gamers, playing over that!

WOW! That looks like a really fun game!

I'm hoping that the guys will think so! Thanks again for the nice comments.

That looks so amazing and really inspiring. I'm going to hit the local poundshop for dominoes the next time I'm in town.

That's great! But if you have a local "Works Publishers Shop" you can get 2 boxes of Dominos for £1 and they are the same size as Poundlands. Poundlands single box does come with 5 D6 in white though? But they are basically the same domino type!

Have fun! Just remember I used a card or wooden base plate under my bridges to give them more strength and be less fiddly to stick together.

that looks fantastic - consider me jealous.

Thanks Pete!

I've seen what you've done and consider me as an equal in the jealous dept!

Oh my! That lake table looks superb! Really eye-catching, and I'm sure you'd get some great games on it. Your ability to turn the most mundane materials into this kind of terrain is something else!

[Arundel]

Your players are really lucky to have a table like that to play on. Simply amazing!

Hopefully on Monday or Tuesday they will like it?

Thanks and here is some more I hope will inspire?

This is another I wonder? I want to see if this will turn out OK? Cheapo Chess set purchased from Poundland. Gonna try to use them as statues around Jaffa! Yet to be painted.


Here a posher version of my Domino Steps. It has edges that my other bits didn't! More Dominos obviously glued edge on.


In Place


Here is walling I made out of some of the left over Dominos and Jenga blocks. They again are modular 3 jenga blocks and a domino for relief. Offset slightly so they link together!

A close up of one of the newer Domino Bridge Sections. In bottom right the above wall sections back.


Just trying to use everything here. May have to buy some more though just to fill my madness of having enough bits for any possible config!

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Well here's my new build of another section of Jaffa! This time a "Lake Jaffa Frontage"

It's a kinda WIP! As I have yet to decide what else to add!  

But bad photos not holding me back from trying out my Domino Bridge Sections.
Sorry about the photos but I do have trouble seeing if they are in focus till I download them.











Gotta go through my other bits and pieces to add various clutter but I think? Bad photos and all! You get the idea!

This looks absolutely stunning, You will have some superb games on that, well done!

Thanks Milord. 

We are having a Pulp Alley! soon? With one of our younger semi-attendees! If the Wife lets him that is?

Hopefully we will agree a plot point!?!?!?

That's rather special. Great idea to use dominos, an idea to be stolen by many I think.

Steal Away! It's why I post

Not all my ideas work but any you find useful I am more than willing to share!

Just wish I had shares in Poundland or The Works!

[MalcyBogaten]

It has been a while. But here are some sundry parts I have made from more Dominoes!

And sides and tops and bottoms of the boxes they came in!

I didn't want to waste the wooden boxes. And if you look at "My Secret Base!" In the Future Wars section..you'll see I have used the boxes before intact!

But If you part the sections carefully?!! Hard to do without splitting the wood! I admit!

You can make planks, bridges and sandstone jetties!
Sorry the piccy is a bit unfocused..but the paint job and the amount I tried to get in didn't help!


Some sections were given the sticky label treatment before painting. The flat domino sections have a domino box lid spine underneath for gluing to and strength!

[Sunjester]

Inspired by your fantastic ideas, I have started working on some domino terrain of my own. I hope you do not mind me posting my first wip efforts here.







This really is a brilliant idea, thanks for sharing.

Not at all! Post away !

Have you used the actual boxes for your bigger platforms? They look great. Nice piece of architecture.

 

[Sunjester]

The 2 story platforms are made from some high density foam I'd been keeping for a while "just in case it comes in handy". It turned out to fit a 4-high domino stair almost perfectly! I need to get some pillars and other odds and ends to put on top of the platforms.

I've gone for the grey stone look because I already have a ton of ruins and similar, all in shades of grey.

[MalcyBogaten]

For your pillars...? Have you considered Jenga blocks stuck together? Then the tape or sticky labels wrapped around to give the look of relief/stonework.
I have done it earlier in this thread!

Pages 2 and 3 have Pillars with Cthulhu Statues on them. But you could use the same principal depending on the size of the Jenga blocks you can grab!

But if you have another idea...Please share!!
