LOL!!!

No, not that meaning of 'giant', but I now have Term-is envy!  I guess you can always say yours is bigger!!!

Did not think so.

I've seen a few 3-d boards out there and they really do add to the game.  I wish I could get out there for it.

Bragging about the size of your sword again, I see.   ;) ;D :o

Heehee....

This is a piece made for me by a guy out here who built about 20 of them for a Mega Hulk game.  He built the boards, the Marines, the Stealers and the Hybridas and Magus.

iirc, it was 6 by 18 modular board.  Lots of fun and a true blast.

I'll see if I can't take some pics and post them after the event for those of you that can't attend.

TK, you still feasibly in?  I'm getting ready to call the local motels for pricing...should I block you in a room?  I feel bad about not offering crash space, but my house usually has 3-4 guys in it for the event already and my wife gets itchy with a capital B.  Unless, that is, she and my daughter go out of town for the weekend to my in-laws (plan of action starts swirling in cranium).  Then I'd have plenty of crash space and no backlash!  Win-win!!!

Mike was a god amongst men. 

I don't have the link here, but there was a German who, through the tender art of resin casting and mould making, produced a fantastic 3D hulk.  Depending on how my experiments I'm conducting now go, I have plans to make some similar molds to build my own eventually (key word is eventually).
VeezCon products:  Not as good as if they had been actually produced by a real figure company, but better than using your shoe to proxy with...sort of!

Nope....  guy that did was local to the Jersey shows.  He built his models based on the various older Termie models out there.  Old Termie Captain with the GL on wrist, Termie Chaplain....  cool figs.  I had to teach him the rules to the game before I cooked up necessary changes to keep the game fun.

I think he's still in Jersey though I've not talked to him in some time.
