I'm putting together some terrain now and once again I turn to magnetic printing paper as a source material for making roads and river sections. It's thin, it can be cut with scissors and fully textured but does not warp. It's also cheap at around £5.00 for two A4 sheets, I can get a lot of roads/rivers from a sheet and also wood templates etc. It takes my Vallejo earth Texture very well and can then be edged with flock/stones etc as required and still lays perfectly flat.
The old wooden card table is covered with some fleece mat which nicely matches the basing I think.

Hi Lee, I'm intrigued by your use of magnetic printing paper for roads, rivers, etc. - can you say which particular variety / make you use.
ReplyDeleteHi Rob. I'll leave the link below to product 2 x A4 sheets for £4.99. Yesterday I made 30cm lengths of 25mm wide roads plus junctions/curves etc and after texturing they remain nice and flat. I'll have some photos in next post.
DeleteCheers

ReplyDeleteCheers Steve, these Peter Pigs just cry out for a nice paint job! Hope you are keeping well.
