Terrain Ideas

[luckyone]

If we are talking about ideas for the "stone pavement" effect, you could always use kitchen drawer "non-slip liner".  I had thought about doing this for some Mordhiem terrain as the effect is the same.  You would need to "toughen/strengthen" the liner by covering it in white glue though as it is kind of soft.  Then after a heavy dry brush your set.   It would be easier cutting it.  Scissor cuts to the right shape and your ready to glue it down.  

I would also think it might be cheaper than a ceiling tile, but not sure.  Save money for more minis .

Hope this helps.

You are correct - it would save money. I also located a stone pavement textured wallpaper I can specail order at Lowe's.

Don't forget the scrapbooking sections of Michael's and Hobby Lobby.  They both have paper prints that may be useful for a myriad of projects.

Good point also. I will have to look there in addition to H.D. and Lowes.

I used 3 diff types of saws (hack, fine toothed, etc.) on the tile - none of them made me jump for joy

What about a circular saw with a fine blade?

Go fer it.

I will try it but I am glad you let me know about the problem ahead of time. I do have about 1/2" to 3/4" that I can cover up any cracks along the edges on the project. I will have to post what I am doing soon.

It is much easier to post what you want to do and get feedback before trying. The panels were not the least expensive material I could use.

Here are my options:

Textured wallpaper - adv least$, available, paintable   dis - not alot of detail, out of scale somewhat, most easily damaged
Ceiling panel replacement  - adv available, paintable, middlle of the road $ wise and durability wise, dis - cracks cracks cracks
Hirst Arts mold floor castings - adv most durable, paintable, best detail and variation dis - have to be ordered and most $ up front investment and molding material, takes alot of time to cast them

For my current project, it would be a shame not to use the 3 ceiling panels I have, but I also have a large roll of textured wallpaper.

I was at first combining the Hirst Arts molds and ceiling panels for this project. My decision can be changed after the circular saw test results are back.
