So while it’s not ‘awesome’ it works, it’s acceptable for playing and it’s sturdy enough for what I need it for. These pictures are with the lighting on and with it off because of the flare out when it’s on.
I hope to use it in the next week or two with a some new players as well as a couple or three of the old ones.
Now that I’ve done it once what I like to do is use frosted polycarbonite as the table top and base and put lighting inside it to really make a decent glow and indirect lighting effect that would be pretty cool I think. And with the right lighting setup I’d be able to cycle the lighting to different colors for dramatic effect. Yellow for daytime and cycle it to blue for night, red for battle and green for happy times, things like that. Â I think big.
The reason it’s white for the curious is that I needed/wanted it to reflect as much of the light as possible to make it easy to read otherwise I’d of gone with ‘good wood’ and stained it to match the original table style.

It’s really neat, but did I miss the explanation about what it’s for? Obviously gaming, but what does having a piece of glass above the minis get you? And is it tall enough for Huge-and Gargantuan-sized minis? It would be a shame not to be able to fight the big bad dragon because he doesn’t have enough clearance…
