As winter cold sweep the lands what better way to spend your time than with participating in a friendly challenge in the best guild on the web
January challenge requires some old fashioned crafting, a challenge with NO computer assistance.
You are challenged to make a map by hand but in 3D. You could use anything you wanted, legos, paper, clay, milk cartons, resin, bones and skulls just as long as the only thing you use the computer for is uploading the picture of your creation.
It is allowed to use the computer to stitch together several pictures of your map into one if you want to show details or different angels, also considering most people don't have professional cameras at their disposal, simple photo corrections (like brightness etc) is also allowed - but no real editing of the image, like texturing or matte painting.
Some examples:

Don't forget to follow the Mapping Challenge rules.
This challenge will end on the 30th of January. The winner will get a shiny golden compass added to their profile.
