I recently began collecting WOGF planes. I was looking at the available game mats.
A bit disappointed at the cost, I made a few of my own.
I stitched together some satellite images of the French countryside, "oilifying" the images to make them a bit less realistic, and had them printed on 13mm vinyl sheets.
I was pleased with the results. I used a popular printing website, which frequently runs promotions, to get them at a fair price.
I made a 4' x 6' that has an overcast effect and a pair of 2.5' x 6' that combined make a 5' x 6' mat.
Below are some low resolution images (the actual images are 75 dpi).
The 2.5' x 6' cost to print is about $45 + $10 shipping (for up to about three items) full price, but with promotions I've seen that as low as $15 to $20.
The 4' by 6' cost $60 but with half-off has gotten down to $30.
A much better deal than $30-$35 for a 2’3” x 3’3” official play mat (although those do look good).
I have an extra 2.5' x 6' east countryside map that I am willing to part with. I don't plan on getting in the business of making mats, but would consider making some or helping out folks who are interested.
(This is my first new post, so hopefully I am doing this right.)
