I can take photos of mine tonight and put them up. . .

It is in a transitional phase as I ripped some stuff off of it to replace with newer stuff - but have not pasted the new stuff up yet.

Yeah! Put them up, I'd love to see them!
 

I cut up and pasted two cereal boxes together, then printed all the important tables I wanted on 11'' by 14'' paper which I glued to the inside with spray adhesive.

I finished the outside by spray gluing large pictures cut out from old Epic and Heavy Metal magazines. Barry Windsor art along-side old Hostess Cupcake ads. Mmmmm. :p

My players get the art on the outside and I get my tables on the inside.

The only thing bad about the final product is Kinkos said it was too thick to laminate.

I use actual 1/8 thick fiber board that i cut into four tall panels.
I like that idea!

I use board game panels currently. I have one from the "DARK WORLD" game that has the poster of 'Lord Soth's Charge" as the player's side. Each panel holds a 11x17 cheat sheet. Though because the screen is a birtch to see over, i use the shorter 8 panel board from a TSR D&D based boardgame.

Black foam core + sheet protectors + spray adhesive + those plastic display board hinges from Staples = Customizable GM Screen

Looks good, but the players can probably see between the panels and know that you didn't actually roll a natural 20!

Seriously...looks really good. I'm locating my foam core right after I send this!

Thanks,
Rich

Edit: bad grammar
