Roy: The Whisper was made out of the Schooner Map using the simplest tools I had around. I tried myself in foam tiles a few month back and although everything looks great, I can’t keep up with the amount of time I have to put into it. This style however gives me the speed to finish maps quickly and with high details and accuracy I seek for my world for D&D. 

Roy: The map is printed multiple times and mainly glued with a gluestick to 5mm black foamboard and cut with the cutter. To give the white edge of the paper a nicer finish I line it with a black ink pen. I redo some details by gluing parts of the map to either 5mm black foamboard (for the railings for example) or 300gsm black paper to give it some weight a small but noticeable height (the hatch, the wooden masts on the front sails or the upper part from the cloth of the rear sails and the wooden masts).

I keep the major layers of the map separate (the different decks or rooms) and attach magnets so that they can be assembled into one movable ship!
