A simple score table
No rocket science here. Thoght I share how I did a simple score table with a photo frame.
Choose an suitable tabletop acrylic photo frame. In my case 14x18 cm
Cut a ferrous sheet to the size of the frame
Now the creative part. Design your fancy score table (mine is pretty basic), print on paper, cut
Insert paper and ferrous sheet into the frame
Done, use magnets to mark the current score, turn, etc.
That's a neat idea, Fabrizio

Super cool! Well done!
Nice!
Excellent Fabrizio!
This should be a good candidate for another "How To" posting.
Brilliant! Elegant design Fabrizio.
Very clever! Looks great
Simply great and looks fantastic.
Very cool idea. Might be useful for a cockpit also.

Ingenious Fabrizio.
I may be able to adapt that for my own game.
Thanks.

That's a first.
NOBODY has posted since I did this one last night.

I like this idea! I can see using this in demo games and conventions. Thanks for posting this.

Question:
Understanding that we live in different countries, how did you get the ferrous sheet? And how thin?

I ordered it in Germany. It's 0.6mm thin, self-adhesive when the blue layer is removed. According to the delivery slip, the supplier is in the UKOriginally Posted by Jager

Here is a link to the British shop Karl.

Correction.
This is probably better, I think that link took me back to Fabrisio's shop. Try this.

I use it for lining my plastic boxes for 15mm troops bases. There is a magnetic foil for this and a metal foil to stick to the bases of the troops. It holds them very well. You can also get it in strip form for the bases.

That's a useful link, thanks Rob, I was wondering how to base my new Wars of the Roses figures, now I know.

Just found this one in the States Karl.

Hmmmm......
I might try some out on my 1/285 Micro Armour gun bases.
Thanks for the link!

Hi, looks good, thanks for sharing.
Another company I see at shows we go to is Magnetic displays CORITANI - https://magneticdisplays.co.uk/
As well as magnets of all types, including gimbal type, they also do some nice resin scenic bits I've made use of.

You started something now Fabrizio
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
As this thread is now about magnets, could we make it a sticky?

Yes, that idea does have some attraction

Just so long as folks' opinions aren't poles apart....

I don't know whether to be attracted or repulsed by that pun
OK, puns aside, thanks all for the sources.

Yes Karl I was thinking of barring them myself.

Question Rob:
When you used them for the troop boxes, do you need to worry about the polarity of the magnets in the box and on the minis?
I had thought about using this for my 25/28mm single figures, but was unsure about this.
Karl

No Karl, the steel sheet is neutral and the base is magnetised with the same polarity overall. I have never tried facing off two bases but now you have mentioned it...........
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Just ran a check and the bases are weakly attracted to each other Karl.
