You manics you've blown it up

After some quick calculations, I've determined that this whould be an awful board to use, store, and play on. the right arm alone would have a thickness on board of 4 inches. the part where the statue meets the ground, based on observation, and comparison between the shot and pictures of the actual statue with measurements, is about chest height, but would cover large portions of the left arm as well. the statue is ~28 ' square in cross section at that point, not counting arm or tablet. In scale, that's about 9" diameter. the arm itself looks to have a cross section at that slice of nearly half that again. so, you would have a single object on the board taking up about 830 square inches out of a total of 1290 for the board.

More than half the board would be the statue. Okay, maybe you could model levels inside, to make it at least playable.

it would also be about 3 feet tall, and likely very fragile.

Could be cool, but would likely mean there is no regular terrain on the entire board.

My real point was that the statue is big. much bigger than most people think. even bigger than portrayed in such movies.

Of course, given that the statue was designed for the US in the 1870s(and so should be being constructed, If the US even exists in Earthside) the real statue likely has little bearing(unless you want to go with the idea that breachside itself is actually our earth thousands of years in the future). If you are going to do it, either use a Neverborn or Gremlin as the model, and make it whatever size you want. Or this, I guess...

Yeah, but this is a fantasy game, no sense mucking it up with realism. You don't need to have the whole thing on the table, just get enough of the central elements to suggest it. So a face, a torch, an arm, and maybe a book should do the trick.

Make the south east quadrant the head, this big massive wreck of a face staring lifelessly up at the sky, mostly buried in the sand, you get those gorgeous instantly recognizable radial spikes fanning out and up from the ground. Throw some rope work ladders and rigging around it to make it accessible. You have a big chunk of the arm embedded in the south west quadrant, cracking open like a rotting log revealing hollows and crannies to play and take cover in. North east quadrant you have the torch itself, sticking out of the sand at a slight angle, part watch tower/part monument. The north west quadrant is pretty much empty as is the center of the board. You can sculpt up some modular bits of detritus make sure the table doesn't go stale.

Screw it, I'm making this.

Do it, you won't.

But seriously, please make this!!!
