Ye Olde Inn

At Oldhammer Day 2014 a very fine fellow indeed turned up with the most beautiful homemade HeroQuest set.
At the heart of this was a 3D board. It was quite something ... not made with Hirst art blocks ... this one was laser cut. It was somehow made by taking a photograph of the board and then clearly some sort of magic was involved ....

Anyway ... I managed to get him to make another one and with the promise of a night of mad passion with my sister ... it was mine.

I had always fancied a 3D board but all that mucking about and expense with Hirst art blocks was more trouble than I could face ..... but this was ready to go ... it just needed a paint job.

... and here it is (Undercoated):



Those of you who know this board well will see that it is not quite a HeroQuest board .... very subtly different here and there and the key differences are that the squares a bit bigger ... perfect for a 25mm base and the corridor around the edge is a double square instead of a single ... (which are the two things I would have done to improve the HeroQuest board) ... oh, and the rooms are upside down. This was done so that the rooms were the right way up for the GM but the spaces for the card decks were in front of the players.

Holy moly, that's gorgeous!

Nice! With laser cutters and 3D printers becoming more and more common the opportunities are more plentiful than ever before!

Now PAINT IT ya lazy git!!!

You may regret those poorly chosen words. Now go find my other thread you lazy git.
(It's in the general HQ section)

That looks awful.

Tell you what, as I'm nice, I'll take it off your hands so you don't have to put up with the eyesore any longer.

Does it FIT on your average kitchen table?

gorgeous! Do you still have the vector cut files for this? What was the final product like?
