Catan Hex Maps

I have a Settlers of Catan box set that uses sculpted hex pieces. A bit similar to Dwarven Forge, fairly high quality. Anyhow it occurred to me that it looks remarkably like a 3-d hex map when laid out. It even has town, cities, walled cities. To bad I only have about a dozen pieces, it would probably look great covering my whole table with the things and having the party move from tile to tile. (click to enlarge)

    Canecorpus - Thank you for sharing, though. At least I have something to look for on Ebay and other places. That set is really something else!

    Even better, there are DIY Catan 3D sites/instructions. That would be a fun project.

    You can also try Heroscape which might still be available at department type stores. Not as cool as the Catan stuff though...
