Folks, I would like to thank you for all the wonderful comments and feedback I have received over the years regarding my 3D resin Settlers tiles. As many of you know, there is now an official set available from Kosmos that looks suspiciously similar to mine.
Aside from many questions and many offers to buy tiles, I also receive some wonderful pictures of nice sets. Many of them are much nicer than mine. This article highlights some of the nice photos and comments I have received from the readers.

Not only is his painting superior to mine,
but Gerard also made nice more regular hexagons than me.
He has a nifty design
where all five land tiles are cast with one mold
which makes it easier to cast five tiles at once.
He has great looking port buttons to randomize
the value of the ports.
Gerard also has many excellent terrain articles
and wonderful models made from Hirst Arts blocks.
Great job GeBoom!

Tim also says that he has built 5 additional sets for Christmas presents
for friends and family.
It's great to hear that he has found and tried a new hobby.
The results are simply astounding.
Tim also provides sage advice in this world of fast food and instant gratification:
"While I truly enjoy playing on my 3d Catan, the journey was much more
rewarding than the final product."
And with that, Tim's handywork stands as a creative milestone,
one that he can enjoy for years to come.

"I want to thank you very much for your site about constructing a 3D SOC game board. It inspired me to do the same, and I thought I'd share my pictures with you. I did go all out with this, and really had to push to get it done before Christmas. I created everything you need for a 5-6 player expansion with the Seafarers board, and threw in the Volcano from Das Buch as well. I signed and numbered the volcanoes, as they were the only unique piece in each set."
That certainly is one amazing project you have acheived there Jacob.
I certainly would like to be the recipient of one of these sets.
Your work looks completely fantastic.
