Kingpin Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I just got my order from Amera Plastic Moldings and finished assembly. It is all vacuum molded terrain (like the craters GW makes). A full tables worth cost less the $100. Sorry for the pictures being a little white washed, the detail will show up better when they are painted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathonicus Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Nice! Always been curious about this stuff. Where did you buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Interesting - how sturdy is it? Any plans on how to strengthen it for gameplay, or does it feel solid enough? Inexpensive, good-looking line-of-sight blocking terrain would be rad! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingpin Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 @ Nathonicus, I ordered through Noble Knight Games (nobleknight.com). You can order directly from Amera but shipping from the UK is spendy. The product is cheaper from Amera so if you get a big enough order to make up for the price of shipping that would be the way to go, but for the six things I ordered it was cheaper to buy from a US distributor. @ JMGraham, I plan on using pop sickle sticks as boarded up windows and make shift supports to strengthen the walls. They are a little thin but really not bad once all glued together. It will work great at my house. I don't know how it would hold up in a game store with rough treatment. I am very happy with it so far. Assembly took a while. But you end up with lots of extra plastic card when you are done so that will be great to save for other projects.

JMGraham Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I wonder if for some of the big pieces, like hills, it might make sense to backfill them with plaster. It'd make them heavy as all get out, but plaster is dirt cheap (provided you get it from a hardware store and not a craft store), and it could help with durability issues. For the buildings, are they mostly flat pieces to glue together so or is there a fair number of cavities that might be plaster-worthy?

Kingpin Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 the "future" terrain is mostly flat. Not to many places for plaster. I have a couple fantasy ruins and they have more places plaster could go. On all the pieces there is about an 1/8" lip on the edges. So you could do a little plaster I guess.

CaptainA Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 We use some of that stuff at Guardian. Works pretty good. Not as pretty as some, but with the right basing can be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
