So, I bought a pdf from Heroic Maps on Wargames Vault, then built it with slightly raised walls. I apologize for the photo quality, I took it with my cell. But still you can see it makes a nice effect.

Wow, that is a nice effect, nice work! |
| Twilight Samurai | 11 Sep 2014 8:59 p.m. PST |
Yes, the extra effort has really improved the original product! |

Looking real good. Scotty would be proud. Grimm |

That looks very good – well done |

Wow. Very, very nice! Is that PVC foam or foamcore? Dan |

That is great work. Looks much better than I thought it could. Heck I would do this if I didn't dive into The Dwarven Forge Kickstarter last year and this year. Again, looks great, Xin |

Out of curiosity, are your squares 1" or 1.5" in size? I chose 1.5" as I found the "heroic proportions" of today's miniatures just do not fit well in 1" spaces. The 1.5" size gives us a little more space without the extra dinging the miniatures take when next to each other. |

Which map set is that? I couldn't find it on Wargames Vault. Thanks, Xin |

Wow, that is cool. Great idea. Chris |
| Glenn M | 12 Sep 2014 9:50 a.m. PST |
It is Foamcore, the squares are 1", the set is:
link I am currently still sitting on my first sheet of foamcore, so my current expense is less that $20 USD including Ink and Cardstock. I did raise some of the Dias's a bit using a bit of mattboard, though it is insanely difficult to work with compared to the foamcore. |

Gorgeous. I have a laser-cut shop buddy…and I was thinking of something along these lines. I currently have a giant stash of DF stuff though, but I think as a product it'd be very good. Very cool. |

Thanks guys, been making a few more pieces, and I'll be doing more as time allows. If anyone sees any nice papercraft props let me know. |

Stunning work. Looks great
What did you use to glue down the print to the foamboard? I've had mixed success doing this in the past: warpage and coming apart. |
| Cacique Caribe | 14 Sep 2014 4:29 p.m. PST |
Can they be printed on sheets of adhesive label paper? Dan |

CC, yes they can, but it pushes the cost up quite a bit. Cheers! |

I used a glue stick, nothing fancy, just avoid the purple ones as they don't stick as well. I am actually starting a seperate project, while I really likes the idea and concept behind Heroic Maps tiles, I didn't like the graphics so much, they are nice, just not what I was looking for. So I got some licenses and worked out my own. I'll be starting a seperate topic about it, but here is the preview tile.

Looking sharp. If you have the patience to design your own, you have the skill to do it. |
