Hi Friends
I appreciate the work going on by others for the maps.! As for me I spent a year photo shopping each territory for my board. Enlarging islands and the national territory watermarks for AA50th. Dont ask for the file , I would sell a vinyl copy but at three or four figures. I dont really intend to sell. But maybe this will give some inspiration on how much you can do if you try.
