The desert, numbers, and edge pieces are PG basswood; the rest were cut from colored birch from The Wood Gallery. The “robber” is PG walnut sandwiched in PG basswood.
I did some fiddling with the files, so most of the pieces aren’t engraved/etched exactly as laid out in the original Glowforge version.
The towns, settlements, and roads are cut from PG acrylic. Towns and settlements are 3 layers welded together, and the roads have black acrylic paint rubbed into the scorelines.
The design for the edge pieces was purchased from EttuArtem on Etsy. I painted them using acrylic paints.
I’m looking forward to trying it out once the 60th anniversary festivities are over with.
Edit: Here’s the post containing the files for the parts I designed: Catan Parts
Also, I’m happy to post the files for the numbers, towns, settlements, roads, robber, and VP tokens if anyone wants them. I’d do it now, but my laptop is ‘way over there next to my suitcase and I haven’t finished my coffee yet!
I will confess to having learned to play primarily to have an excuse to build this. But my granddaughter (who learned it with me) LOVES the game, so it will get lots of use.
They’re all in this post. You can right click on the SVG images and choose “save as,” but I just went back and updated it with links, in case your browser isn’t being cooperative.
the boarder file from etsy … what program did you use to pull up those files? im having a heck of a time and when i download the files it doesn’t give me a cut boarder.
I agree, the detail in the water is wonderful!
