| Thanks guys. I personally think it still has a long way to go! For example, I plan to add road tiles and cover the entire table with terrain pieces.
And I need CATWALKS! _________________ Arachas - The one who changes Avatars more than Lady Gaga changes costumes - Bursting with Dev-Powah™!!Tau Squad Co-Lead Designer |

| Looking nice. I like the rubble and broken building too. I really like those Pegasus buildings. My favourite are the scratch built buildings though. They look great. Thanks for sharing! |

| I think the table is looking great - there is more to add - but it beats anything I could put out for a game.
Just out of curiosity what thickness of material are you using for the base? I had serious warping issues with 3mm MDF in my previous table modelling attempts.

| 6mm MDF! No warping whatsoever, you should be safe!
It's a bit of a step for models, but since I plan to cover the entire table with it, it's fine. _________________ Arachas - The one who changes Avatars more than Lady Gaga changes costumes - Bursting with Dev-Powah™!!Tau Squad Co-Lead Designer |

It's kinda like particle board in that it's made from chips of wood pressed and glued into sheets. The difference is that while particle board uses small chips, MDF is basically made from sawdust. This makes for a surface that is super smooth and easy to work with while being "reasonably" strong, it takes a routered edge beautifully. The down side is that it's pretty heavy, and not a strong as might be desired.
Personally I love the stuff. |

| It also doesn't do well with water if you don't seal it on all sides. |

| Well...no. But I wouldn't trust anything made of trees to hold up to water.
Also, what are you doing with water on the gaming table? My old GM used to provide a small table for each player/pair of players to keep drinks off his table. |

| I usually smear so much sand and whatnot over my tiles, that water isn't an issue. The woodglue simply seeps into the MDF and it becomes rocksolid, really. _________________ Arachas - The one who changes Avatars more than Lady Gaga changes costumes - Bursting with Dev-Powah™!!Tau Squad Co-Lead Designer |
