I have used the magnets in another project, that will be revealed in due course. I have looked at making frames before, but I am no cabinetmaker…more of a bush carpenter…so the level of precision offered by this solution is the deciding advantage. I have always been wary of the checkerboard effect but I plan to minimise this by using surface terrain that can sit astride some of those gaps to minimise that effect.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-85872603972720412092021-08-11T06:47:04.556+12:002021-08-11T06:47:04.556+12:00Thanks Norm.

The idea originally came from a completely different angle - after chasing some dice that had rolled off the table and lodged in the most awkward of places I was thinking about making some dice trays when the thought occurred that they would make perfect terrain frames.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-88450711789167547372021-08-11T05:46:23.873+12:002021-08-11T05:46:23.873+12:00Very interesting Mark, I will follow this with int...Very interesting Mark, I will follow this with interest. Sally Forth (I think) do a similar thing with pre-formed MDF kits to make up frames.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-84196592267607689872021-08-10T21:55:12.461+12:002021-08-10T21:55:12.461+12:00A real work of art Mark.

It looks like you have cured all these potential issues in a well-thought design.Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.com
