Making of The making of a map board in a few steps. I start by cutting a 3mm thick PVC board to dimensions (40cm x 55.3cm). After that, I trace the hex grid (10 x 16 hex) onto it. I can then mark on the different terrain features (Hills, roads, rivers...). |
|
The next step, I glue on the elevations, trace the hexgrid on them, then I apply a black undercoat. The board is now ready for the scatter material.
|
|
Then I work on the surface to enlight the different features. For that purpose, I use a few tricks of the 19th century cartographers. The board is now ready to receive forests, buildings, fields...
