Just to understand this correct the flock is on the bottom of the tile? And what about the backing showing through?

This is how I created bases for my GW Epic tanks years ago.  Quick and easy and they look nice when finished :)

I like this idea!  :D

Where did you purchase the tiles from?

Thanks. By backing I meant the often creamy coloured glue and mucky looking backside of the tile, in my experience flock doesn't always cover all that well and needs the surface colouring prior to flocking to stop it showing through. So I was asking how well the flock covers it up or whether it matters that it can be seen due to the colour of the tile.

No we don't, but there's plenty of similar shops. Otherwise I could get my parents to pick soem up from me (they live in Birmingham). Thanks Silent Invader.
