Not quite 6mm but....

For a while now I've fancied getting hold of a gaming mat for starship combat games, but never quite got round to it.  So I decided to make my own.  Please let me know what you think.

Not too bad, but I think you have too many galaxies and too few stars and nebulae.

It looks good but I prefer just a star field and maybe a nebula, then uses terrain for any other celestial bodies.

A Hotz Art mat:

The Hotz mats are really nice, I do fancy one at some stage.

I too am for more stars, currently with a small set of alterations it could serve as a wall hanging in a fantasy temple. :)

At least more stars is an easy addition.

Aye quite true, I have secured an old toothbrush and will go flicking when I get 5 minutes.

I've got some felt, just need to get off my but and paint it.  Nice work with the airbrush.
