hello everyone, i have been away for a long time, life gets in the way, but now i am back.

i would like to build a trench run table top, i have posted else where to this effect.

i have some ply wood and based on what 1 or 2 of you have already said i think i will go with a total table area of 5'x4' with a trench down the center.

so what i would like to know beffore i cut any ply is this, which turret modles would be the best to use? (pm me )

which would be the better option for space station printed background? ( again pm me )

i have already downloaded something that i can print onto paper but i dont think that it would last long and there is the ' how do i fix the paper to the wood ' thing.

i will, as time permits, post pictures as i go.

many thanks in advance for your help.

I printed out the DS surface on a large format printer so that I had 2 2'x4' pieces and then used spray adhesive to affix them to the Masonite surface I had built. Then printed another one to cut up for the walls and floor of the 4' trench. Seems pretty durable. If I had it to do over again, I would grey out/darken the print outs some. As is, the DS surface is very busy and ships tend to disappear into the background a little bit, making for distracting play.

As for turbo lasers, I made my own, between 3"-3.5" tall, with a footprint about the size of a ship base. Again, if I started over, I would make them a little shorter as they don't quite fit inside my trench comfortably.
