Man idea is not bad, but there are a couple of things that should be done differently. First,the cells on the Board it was necessary to flip the other side up, because of the shrinkage of the resin it does not look aesthetically pleasing, second, the distance between cells should be no more than 2-3mm, the third color cells hurts the eyes, and the fourth lacks both alpha and numeric designations.
