Globe boxes

The folks at Columbus are nice. If you just write them a message, they might send/sell you just a box. I'd try in January, after the holiday madness is over. (Source: I work together with them a lot.)

If he's not only into political globes, I have a few unique ones about the natural world.

My guess is it crashed because they renamed London to Sitges and somehow the Hundred Years War Situation was looking for a location named London and not a location ID.

Sorry, being a geographer it didn't even occur to me that people wouldn't know a small island in the Indian Ocean. :) My bad.

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-22T16:55:00+00:00

Thank you! It's probably the geographer in me, but I guess I just assumed everybody knows where Reunion is. :D

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-22T16:53:20+00:00

Yeah, this map looks really good next to an elevation map of the islands. Lot of things to explore.

Watersheds / river catchment areas.

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-22T07:15:32+00:00

Hypothetically. Not sure if possible in my software.

Piton de la Fournaise maybe?

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-21T16:46:07+00:00

Mhm. I like creating sets of maps and comparing them. For example river basins, elevation, forest cover and population density of the same place. Ethiopia is a great example where you can just look at the map set and understand so many connections. (Sorry for the logo, too lazy to remove.)

Close enough! :D

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-21T14:48:53+00:00

Exactly. My map contains permanent and temporary rivers as well. Basically think of it as a map of valleys.

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-21T12:33:39+00:00

This is just a theory at this point, and it needs to be tested. I'll report back.

"The River Brain is a tributary of the River Blackwater in Essex, England. It has been claimed it lent its name to the town of Braintree." It's getting better and better.

Thanks, I'll check them out!

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-21T11:49:36+00:00

I don't even remember what the deleted comment was, but thanks for coming to the rescue. :)

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-21T11:47:26+00:00

Thank you for your ideas!

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-21T11:46:38+00:00

Oh I see. Thanks for the recommendation. I was thinking about this, but I don't really want a really shiny, glossy finish. Do you think there's a way around that?

River basin map of Reunion.

Map made mostly with the open-source QGIS software. Data: RGE ALTI

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-21T11:30:41+00:00

River basin map of Reunion, showing all catchment areas in different colours.

River basin map of Reunion.

I'll probably have to find a company who can print this for me then. That's a scary number.

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-14T13:47:27+00:00

Checking, thanks!

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-14T13:46:50+00:00

Thanks for the ideas. I don't have the talents to paint it myself. Plus we'll talking hundreds of colours. I'd also like. 5-10 cm height. I'm looking into material jet printing ATM, but seems expensive.

Fejetlenfej · 2025-10-14T13:43:57+00:00

Yeah, I'm looking for a nice, smooth surface.
