Not sure where you are but this stuff works like a charm cause you can sync two up together and then glue at the seam (I also used toothpicks with glue to help with the bond (essentially Pinning it). I am thinking of mounting the board at a later date on either some heavy duty cardboard or I might go with a piece of ply. Just trying to keep it light. Also with the Styrofoam you can mark it all out and then make grooves where the lines are then base it in white acrylic primer and then dry brushed with green your lines will come up and thus showing your squares then just go square by square and add glue and flock. I also added some rough spots with wall mud so I could create the muddy spots found on the original board art. make sure to paint that all in first before adding the flock.

Thanks for the tips.

I am in the South West of England, in sunny (well it's actually night at the mo) Devon. I am sure I can get Styrofoam of some kind.

May have to give this serious consideration.

Again good luck with yours.

Thanks for the luck (I'm gonna need it) and I can give suggestions or help when needed if you decide on attempting this yourself.
