Science Fiction Battleship game

Finally, after this being an on-again-off-again project for the last forever, it is ready for the revel.

So I had this idea forever ago and mentioned it to a few people; several thought it was a neat idea, but one person at work became enamored with the idea and has made it happen by constantly bugging me about it. Well, his pestering has paid off. So I plan to gift this set to him for Xmas simply because I can.
This being my most artsy project to date, I learned a butt load doing it.
I still need to assemble the second box and do a couple more game pieces, but it will be ready in time, and it is far enough along for you to see now.

If and when you decide to put this on etsy, or wherever, I’ll be among the first to buy!

There are things in history that I regret ended too soon. Mozart, Caravaggio, Ramanujan, and then there is Firefly.

If I offer it in any form I’ll make sure that I mention it here so you will know.

That’s very cool looking… and sturdy… not easily sunk.

Is the Firefly on top or sunk into it? I cannot tell.

It is on the surface with 3m sheet adhesive. I’m really liking the stuff.
