Hi guys, just found X Wing and have loved it! So i went ahead and made a board for it. I made the board using a few round objects, a magazine and a few spray cans.

That turned out really well!
I'm tempted to try something like it, but I don't really have the space for it in my house.

It looks like MDF board to me... that's what I would use if I built one.

You left out the "wait for it to dry step" 
I used 3mm mdf but the thicker you get, the straighter it will stay

I did mine similar to this, but used a roll of marine vinyl as the base so that I can still roll it up.
Your planets turned out fantastic though (better than mine). Nice walk-through.

I wanted to make my boards in mdf, back when I was playing a lot of 40K. A colleague of mine told me to buy (failure of my English language skills) 3/8" wooden boards instead. Things have stayed straight for 7 years, even though they spend most of their time upright. I hinged them with piano hinges, and I just sleeve them in two-sided fabric to give them a smooth texture, and then add whatever tablescapes, mat or whatever I want to play on.
