Here is a close-up of the knights tray. Shadows Over Camelot Insert Knights Tray Each knight has a special compartment that is just for them. I designated that by putting colored felt on the bottom of the foam-core tray. The center part is designed for the dice. In this picture the Holy Grail is occupying a spot that will eventually be filled by the Merlin figure (I hope). If not, I am going to use one of my old D&D miniatures for the Black Knight instead.
Shadows Over Camelot Insert Catapult Tray The catapult tray picture also shows a felt lining, green in this case. I originally planned to have a separate compartment for every catapult and eventually decided that (a) that was overkill and (b) it would be next to impossible to get fingers into the tray to pull them out. I went with four compartments of three catapults each instead.
Ultimately the tray for the Picts and Saxons will be finished out, and the three trophies (Grail, Armor and Excalibur) will have their own unique compartments as they will all be painted. I’ll come back and post pictures of the final product once I’m finished. For now, I wanted to show what was possible with a little foam-core, a sharp knife, a ruler and a bottle of glue. I’ll post more about the construction process at some point in the future.
This is awesome! Glad you were able to get a hold of the expansion, too. Would you be willing to share your measurements? I’m about to make my own inserts.
Hi, Lauren, thanks for stopping by! I don’t think I saved my design sheet, but I would be happy to get you some measurements from what I have. I have sleeved my cards which makes it more challenging because of the height of the stack of cards. If you have not sleeved your cards, I would definitely design your insert differently.
I use 5mm foam core. Your measurements would be different if you use 3mm.
