New Heroquest board DIY

Hi,

We are two Spaniard guys, that have started a new print and play HQ project. The first stage is just to build the board by our own, but trying to push the limits and reach a professional finish. For this we used solid 3mm cardboard and a kind of plastic paper called geltex. Total cost is below 7€ per board:

The finish is nearly professional and it seems to be sturdy enough to resist a playng session.

I left the rest of the pictures and the step by step guide at http://hastaelultimocartucho.blogspot.com.es/2013/07/construyendo-heroques-print-hoy-el.html

Sorry for the spanish writing. If you need I will try to translate it.

Saludos!

Nice board you have there, is it bigger than the original, or tthe same size?

Cool. In case you were wondering, most game boards are made from chipboard.

The HeroQuest logo has been removed, I'm guessing it's slightly smaller?

Nice job on the board, too.

Nice work! I also made some custom boards.
Why did you fold it in the long direction?

Yes, please, translate it.
A hypothetical, nonbinding question: would you do commission work?

I'm sorry but that just struck me as being too funny, like there's some sort of taboo in asking. There isn't... Is there?

From the photos it looks like the original board - minus the logo. Nicely done! Pura Vida y Puros 10's!
