I've got an older workbench of about the same size and construction. One major thing that would probably be worth doing is to add one or two braces to the top. It will keep it from bowing as you go along, it would also let you support heavier things on it.

Good point, he left an overhang on the skirt for just that at a later date, probably sooner than later.
You probably already considered a brace board in the middle under the mdf surface.
Seal with a varnish for sure

Seal with a varnish for sure Overhang would be more for adding a leg, the brace would be across in under the MDF, possibly screwed to it as well. If it was wider, I'd suggest more than 1 or 2, because the design is pretty close to the standard, cheap design for a wargame table because MDF and plywood tends to bow easily in the middle. Though with a center-back additional leg, you would have a nice support for bolting on some pegboard to add space by having a place to store your tools out of the way...

You should grab a roll of adhesive vinyl and cover the table before the inevitable spills ruins it - also how are peoples crafting tables so neat, mine are always a complete mess a couple of minutes after I start any project.

People have neat crafting tables?! I dont believe it. Personally I have a pile of craft projects that I craft my projects on top of.

Interesting idea.
Kind of Surprised you used the older Hylian Shield design rather than the one that's been used since Skyward Sword with the bird crest.
Also, the Hylian Shield is designed for the right arm rather than the left since Link is a lefty (Only game he isn't is the ones where combat is motion controlled or where it can be equipped on either so it would probably work better to ditch the handle for a second strap since strap on shields didn't have them, but a pair of straps anyway.
I've spent way to long playing Zelda games...and a bit to long working on the old Zelda 3.5 project that was bouncing around on the WotC forums before their massive trainwreck of an "upgrade" and later removal of the boards.

I would recommend getting some of the clear polyurethane (flat or gloss), either in the craft store bottles or some of the larger buckets at the hardware store and coating your linking chips as well as the places inside the slots and all around it. The chips and those slots will have a LOT of wear on them and chipboard soaks up poly quite well to make it more of a plastic than the normal.

Actually yes. Hoping to start filming my wife and I playing Grimdark Future, to start. And then onwards into 40k. Also going to do livestreams of D&D, though that won't feature terrain.

Texturing the cliff sides with several vertical and horizontal knife strokes is a great idea, I love the result!
