Hi everyone! I just thought I would touch bases and get some other opinions before making my new table top playing area. I wanted a nice 4'x6', stowable surface and ran across this site: http://gamer-geek.com/?p=176
Seems like just the ticket to build a simple table top that can be easily moved, transported, and hidden. I am making a couple of modifications to these plans -- since I have more space, I am cutting the plywood (3/4") into two pieces of 4'x3'. From what I read here, 4'x3' seems a decent size for a small game, and easy to maneuver; placing the two together provides for larger games, and tournament space in case I decide to try my hand at other wargames. Do you concur?
I am also adding a small brass latch to either side of the centerline to help hold the halves together. The top will be a Citadel Battlemat, which has received good reviews and which I purchased for a good price at my LGS. I am using wallpaper glue as the adhesive, on the advice of the proprietor; his came out looking great and very smooth. To finish it off I am adding a border of white molding to the edge. I'll post pictures when it is completed. I have all the parts and will assemble next weekend.
If this works out well, I can build other 4'x3' sections to add dedicated areas, for instance water. What do you think?
Cheers!
