B&Q had a roll that was suitable. There was also a nice flagstone looking one that looked interesting, but that was a bit more expensive as it was bathroom paper.

£6.50ish in the end and tonnes left. I'll be getting the scenery on it later and seeing if it needs to be lightened, but as this only took a couple of evenings to do, quite happy for now. Double sided board (desert on the other) - dunno why I didn't think of doing it before!

I'll bring it over next month. Might need to divide it up with Bert though.

Fine with me, mate.
Nice one!

I have a roll of wallpaper put aside for the same purpose. Yours looks pretty effective. The only thing I was worried about was the embossed detail getting flattened by buildings and scenery or getting torn.

I gave the surface a good wash of PVA which stiffened every up and made it a bit tougher. Tears and catches are something that I'll to live with - I'll call it "character"

I've been using this method for a couple of years and I'm still using the same pieces I originally cut. Some of the paintowrk does come off but it's minimal and easy to touch up. Mind you I lay mine in between buildings so I'm not sure what effect heavy terrain will have on them, it's pretty sturdy stuff though:

That is a brilliant photo Mr Thunderchicken, very atmospheric.

Hmm done some digging but no luck in finding a shop that supplies the http://www.mitchellfauxleathers.com/Default/Mitchell-Collection/Popular-Patterns/Cascade.aspx

did find a few stores that had some of their line though, but not the Cascade Pattern in Mushroom color.

Anyone else trip over a source for it?

For my 25mm/28mm figures, I use O scale Random Course Stone plastic sheets/plastic card (7.5 inches x 12") by JTT Architectural Model Parts.  It comes in HO scale as well if you prefer something smaller.  You can see what it looks like in my Pirate Gallery at www.warin15mm.com/Pirates.html

HOLY SMOKES!  I want to play with your pirate table!!!!!

Stunning Mate!

I was going to suggest some cookie-cutter type things to press into styro, but the wallpaper and faux leather look brilliant.

"so I'm not sure what effect heavy terrain will have on them,"

Seems like you could spread something on the back, TC, to have it lay flat AND support the 'dimples', but sometimes I think too much.

You've already seen that in action, or non-action.
