Building That First Game Table

To cover 75% of a table you're probably looking at:
2 Imperial Sector boxed sets - 23,000 yen
2 Shrines of the Aquila - 9000 yen
1 Landing Pad - 5400 yen

And thats assuming that you use all the parts and dont make the buildings too tall.

Yes, it is a ridiculous amount of money.

You lucky guys with gaming tables. My miniatures and terrain and paints are packed into mikan boxes, wedged in a corner of a "room" so as not to get in the way of the half dozen garbage sacks full of clothes the kid's can't wear anymore and boxes and boxes of stuff that exists in a permanent state of, "oh, I'm going to sort through it some day-we might need it-motainai." A whole table! That would be the life!

I bought 3 tables of a similar size to the ones in Kids Land, though of a better quality. They are sturdy, wheeled (so I can move them), they fold up if I need them to and have shelves underneath for models.

It ran to about 60,000 for the lot.

Then I bought terrain.

My advice, you'll be using your tables more than you will be using any given model. You'll use them for gaming, painting and modelling. If you want a nice table you'll need to treat it like an investment. You dont have to spend 60,000 yen, but dont try to do it on the cheap either.

I guess 20,000 yen is a good deal after all... thanks for the heads up Prime...

yeah. I built my table out of wood, and including the hills and rocks n stuff (which were made out of offcuts of the main table, tbh) it came to over 20,000, easy. Tables aint cheap, but as stu says, youll be using it more than any other model you own.

PS think long and hard about where youre going to store it.
