Wooly,
this pic you mean?

that's one of my faves of Elmore, along with the awoosme inside pic in 2nd ed PHB "Dragon Killers"??, and "Two For the Road" :)
I got the Dragon Killers big print from Elmore's site but it was rubbish as it was faded sepia toned, not bright and vivid colours like original boy was I annoyed. got a smaller one that's correct, and framed it :)
hey imagine framing the city system maps in laminate and wall mounting them! ;)
Nope, not that one, though I do love it... This is the one that's on the cover of FR9 The Bloodstone Lands (incidentally, that sourcebook was one of my first Realms products):

Funny thing. Just last week, while I was on vacation (or staycation) I took out my two trail maps to see if I could put them together to put on the wall. From my test, if I do put the,up eventually, they will be better off separate. The scale is right, but some landmarks and landscape is off. Where south-east of Faerun should connect with South-west of Kara-Tur, one is ocean water, the other is blank land - and while some landmarks overlap in the important parts, there are some continuity errors there as well. But yes, the Waterdeep Trail Map is a map of all of Faerun.
On a first side note, I bought two nice Poster Frames with Lexan/Plastic protectors from Walmart and have put up the 3E Map and the 4E map respectively on my wall. VERY nice.
On another side note, I hope to eventually mauybe have the City System map of Waterdeep framed profesionnaly and mounted on my wall (that big a map all connected and single framed would be a few hundred $ though, but man that would be sweet). Then maybe all the other maps as well....one can dream! |

I have a very nice "metallic" map of Middel Earth,
http://www.collecttolkien.com/images/Posters/Posters%20LOTR%20Map%20Middle-Earth%20Classic%2036x24%20$9.jpg
I got it framed by a professional
My Mum's an artist (does amazing seascapes, wowzers!), so that's not unusual, and I get a few of my own works printed up huge and framed.
only problem with my LOTR poster map frame is, it's SO damn heavy. gorgeous frame but construction is extremely heavy, so had to use 2 "double" hooks to hold it up.
good framer will use multicore wire, not string.
just as well we don't get any earthquakes here or it may fall on my head one day! :p
Important note:
DO NOT mount your poster or indeed any important piece of art where DIRECT sunlight will hit it.
Not only will it reflect off the glass/perspex, the sunlight will fade the artwork out, bad mojo!
hm, a metallic map like that of Faerun would be awesome! often called "Dufex" (the metallic style) |

| While we are (almost) on the subject. I've been trying to decide whether to buy the Waterdeep Trail map, but is it of any use if one owns both the 1st and 2ed. maps in addition to the Fonstad Atlas? |
