That settles it! I am not going to your house for tea.

Has anyone gone to a carpet outlet store to look for remenants of astroturf
(or similar)? I would think that a couple of square feet could be cut into
some rounded mats and used for rough or cultivated terrain.
Should also be easy to base trees on/through.

Some of the natural fibre door mats look good as cultivated fields. They are
easily cut into smaller areas, and it if possible to reduce the

height of some of the crop.

Has anyone taken any of the rolls of corkboard material and painted it to make
any sort of terrain? Just curious.

Thanks. It also comes in a thinner type, I thought it might make great flat
terrain.

I have never used "rolls" of cork (nor seen them really), but I made a few
ruined buildings that look pretty good (if I say so myself) using cork
tiles.  They were 1'x1'x1/4" IIRCC and I cut the wall sections, windows,

etc.  Then went around and used a pair of needle-nose plyers to break
the edges so that the walls looked 'ruined'.

Primed (twice) with black, then dry brused with two shades of gray and
mounded on 1/4" plywood they stand up well to gaming and look pretty
good too boot.
