I know gatorboard has been mentioned before and I really want to try it out, but the darned cost is so high.  Still, I found that all my paper terrain has become de-stickified due to humidity and I plan to rebuild everything.  So its a good excuse to restart everything from scratch. I think I will order some gatorboard and at least use it for the new streets. I also plan to buy a higher end laser printer to get a better look than the inkjet I have now.
I think I will order some gatorboard and at least use it for the streets.    I will also use the felt/sandpaper previously mentioned instead of the links.  Getting the little pieces in and out of the foamcore was quite the fiddly process.  So now I have to rebuild my little town.  Oh what a fate!  :)

Follow-up question.  Anyone know a good place to get gatorboard from in the US?  Being able to pick it up in the DC area would be a bonus.  Thanks.

I have tons of scraps from work on a regular basis, but you'd have to drive to Charlote to get some...

lovely work!  The recessed parts make all the difference!  brings shame to my efforts

For holding the tiles, I use a rubber mat that has a pretty good grip.  You can see it sticking out off the sides in this photo (yes, zombie game as well!)

One thing about the pdf terrain I discovered is that they photograph really well.  Esp those worldworks ones...

that paper terrain looks realy good ,I wish I could see it in real .

It really is a sight to behold and a joy to game upon.  Of course, I thought Audrey was going to send me the "how to" earlier, but I see i had to wait for her to do it publicly.  Sort of like the game we were supposed to have Sunday.  I show up to find a deserted gaming spot.

Some of us in the group were going to do the whole resin cast stuff, like Old Crow, but the paper stuff is more time/cost effective.  That is, of course, if you do not succumb to the other Evil of the Tectonicon...obsessive-compulsive disorder. :lol:
