Yes, I really am that awesome.

I'm not so sure this was photoshopped much. You can see that not all tiles were used; obviously, not all color combinations are present, but perhaps by selecting your tiles fairly carefully this could be made?

Edit: Just to be clear, the reason I say "photoshopped MUCH" is that I always have to remove the pincushion distortion to make a photo of a game board look this "flat." But I wouldn't be surprised if that was all that was done.

I see no reason for photoshopping. Tiles borders are visible, you can see the layout - it's all possible.

As for the pincushion, it still can be slightly visible on the upper edge of the board (and on the right, when magnified). Perhaps it was not corrected at all, just made with a good lens?

Anyway, nice image

I notice that 6 hexes are "faked". They don't match up in color and are only single hex pieces. Looks like they were made to fill in the gaps.

I was saying that I thought the guy made up little paper colored hexes to fill the blanks. I thought that the game board came blank, but as I don't own the game, I can't talk.
