| When designing the table, I thought about what I wanted it to be:
- look terrific (this seems to be the first attribute I come up with every time I design something... :-)
- be stable - you should be able to lean to it
- be modular - I wanted to have endless possibilities of combinations
- include deeper sections - I wanted to have good looking rivers
After intesive study of many websites (www.terragenesis.co.uk to name one) and pondering this and that I decided to go with this variant:
- 40x40cm tiles
- A frame to hold 3x4 tiles
- To save space flat tiles are mouted on pillars and use up less space when stored
- river sections are designed to be modular and fit to each other at predefined edges
- raised sections (hills, mountains) are made normally and can be arranged to taste
So it would be sort of a hybrid modular table.
