So in my spare time at work, I've been making a Hnefatafl Board.
The pieces are 3D printed on a Makerbot, and then spray painted black and tan with a gloss overcoat.
The models of the pieces were taken from a 3D boardgame, although I'm afraid I forget which one. I think it was a chess set. I used the pawns, the king, and the knights..
The board is a 13x13" picture frame with a wooden base, cork mounted on the underside, and Home Depot stone bathroom 1" tiles as the squares. I put caulking round the edge to seal everything in.
It turned out quite well. Looking forward to playing. I love the game because of its asymmetrical nature.
