Re: Drafting Table
Here is a taste...they are module panels than can be arranged in different configurations. You can have a city block with roads around the perimeter, and intersection, or any combination. Five blocks...1 concrete and sidewalk section, 1 road section parallel to hex direction, 1 road section 90 degrees turned, and 1 intersection piece. For the prototype I mounted to foam board but once I finalize a layout I like I plan on mounting it to MDF so it lasts. I created pockets in the foam below where the manholes are and I added strips of magnet tape under there so I could have my manhole covers (which also have magnets) sit in place until picked up. The reason I'm planning on moving to MDF is for the sign posts. I fear that after awhile the foamboard hole that I place the signs in will get too worn out.

You can see the earliest prototype of the magnetic manhole cover tutorial in my custom thread here...









Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those.
