Re: Paper or Plastic?

That's our pleasure I am sure. Would love to see pics when available.

One hint for those with the facilities. A sand table is a great base foe any gaming. Terrain can be sculpted and then you just add roads, vegetation, buildings. The trick - use large grain builders sand dyed green. This is what is used for some arenas where horses compete, showjumping and the like. Instead of chewing up the grass they can actually rake it flat again after each competitor. If a water jump is needed they dig a hole and put in a plastic liner. Brilliant stuff and cheap. It need to be about three inches deep and foam is usually used to build up higher features.

I have seen this done with an old snooker table. Big enough and strong enough with room to store things under. Another one I have seen was a remodelled kitchen or dining table with fold off tops. It became a table when not in use for gaming and the game could be left set up if not finished. Just a thought for when you have a couple of hours to spare.
