I have been working on a modular board consisting of twelve 1' x 2' panels. The panels are done and I am now working on a 23 piece modular hill set. I did not want to connect the hills to the boards so I have more options when setting up.







I am not finished with all the hills, some still need a dry brush and a bit of flock.






I added 1/16" thick rubber feet on the corners to keep the board from moving and also to provide a gap so the flock will not get crushed when the boards are stacked.

Image links are broken :(

Saw the board on the flickr tag.

Very nicely done. Good job with the setup.

I am not sure what the problem is.

Here are new links.

Its best to upload the images here and post them.. Flicker and dakka hate each other.. lol..

Not too shabby. I like it.

Good work

Board looks good, but I don't see the point in so many subdivisions when there's nothing attached to any of them. With no permanent features, it's the same flat board no matter how it's arranged. Is it merely for compactness when storing it or do you plan permanent features in the future?

Also, Ruff is right - if you plan to keep posting images in Dakka threads, it's best to host them in the gallery. You get more embedding options, the (default, but it can be turned off) option of opening them up to ratings from other users, and there are never any bandwidth limit/host downtime issues to contend with, so they'll stay visible wherever you post them.

The primary reason for the subdivisions is to keep the board compact when not in use. I might try 2’ x 2’ sections in the future. I am also planning so sell the boards on EBay. I can easily purchase boxes to ship twelve 1’ x 2’ boards with hills and accessories. Larger boxes that can hold 2’x2’ boards are harder to come by.

That could be expensive for shipping, but I wish you the best with the endeavor.. As long as they stay flat, you would be around 35-50 depending on the service you use for shipping..
