With Stargrave landing in the shed, a job I have been meaning to do for quite some time now has come to the top of the to do list.
As Stargrave uses a 3 foot square table (as do a number of other newer skirmish level games) it was about time I either: purchased a number of 3 foot square game mats, or: made myself a frame to mark the table edge.
As a piece of white painted skirting board was about £150 cheaper than a set of new gaming mats, a frame was more than likely to be the choice of champions.
All that saved cash didn’t last long though, as a couple of sets of pre-painted scenery seemed like they were almost made for this game…
Can anyone else picture some striped market stall type tents out there in the desert. I guess I know what I will be scratch-building next… Market stalls need stall holders as well… Good job I saved a few pennies by building that frame!

Oh yes, you’ve got to have market stalls! 🙂 Nice looking scenery and good idea to use skirting for the frame!

Still looking for market stalls. May have to knock up a few using balsa and striped cloth. Some of my older summer shorts might do as a material source. I don’t seem to be getting to wear many of them at the moment.

Brilliant idea on the skirting board frame. I may just have to borrow that idea.
The table set up is great too.
Cheers,
Pete.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that mat before in some of your posts, but I just have to say the detail is just so amazing on it. And knowing my memory, I probably said the same thing the first time I saw it! 😉
That’s a great looking setup and the frame is a nice touch!

It’s an old favourite that mat. Been in service a couple of years now. I also have no issue with being complemented twice for the same thing either 🙂
