So I've been using this map projection because it seems to be the most accurate flat map. I'll be using it for any of my world globes too, as I find it quite coincidental that the most accurate flat-map is our favorite Icosahedron.





Cool, hu?

I want to cut that out and fold it up.
I move quick: I'm gonna try my trick one last time--
you know it's possible to vaguely define my outline
when dust move in the sunshine

Neat coincidence - I just saw that map for the first time yesterday over at the Cartographers' Guild.  Awesome.

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

I actually have two cut out on my desk. I recommend picking one of the ocean triangles, such as the one above Antarctica in the picture, and remove it. This will give you a way to reach inside with your fingers and hold the pieces together to glue them.

If you use cardstock, super glue is great, but a mite bit painful. Be sure to have a wet sponge handy, because super glue doesn't work on bone dry surfaces (such as paper); it works by binding water together to make a chemical bond (it releases a lot of heat).

Since my setting is earth 50 million years in the future, I've been fiddling with plate tectonics for a while.
