Really like the skinny tiles representing terrain types and tall tiles to represent elevation. I don't like the large base layer, seems heavy and relatively fragile. I'd probably try and manufacture that out of a piece of wood, cut on a router.
Just about all the people in my inner sphere of Battletech use 3d terrain. It's far more popular than using paper/flat maps in the US. In the US we tend to use tiles from the mass produced tabletop game Heroscape. With that as the foundation, we supplement the tiles with community created Battletech versions of the tiles that are available for free on places like Thingiverse. Seems like your reinventing the wheel on a lot of this.
Hi Bill Thanks for the comment. As stated in the title, this is very much the development of a concept and, as such, it has developed a lot in the short time since this video. The next video, which will be done next weekend, should demonstrate this. Rather than reinventing the wheel, we are evolving the wheel. If Heroscape is the stone wheel, hopefully this can be a step on the way to the wooden wheel. It's very much designed for the maker community and as such it is intended to continually evolve over time, with feedback from users and makers. While I know it won't suit everyone, different people have different needs and I'm fairly confident this will appeal to a good number of folk.
@@MadMartMalloy At first pass it seems like a lot of the 3d stl files already in the community. I'm curious as to where things are going to go in the future. Keep the videos coming so we can see the evolution.

Very Cool!
