Does anyone have a particular thickness that they find themselves using all the time?

As a general rule-of-thumb, 30thou is about 1mm thick.

I hope this helps.

Little has changed in those 15 years trust me!  lol If you are into the latest edition of D&D it's still a good place to pop into,but I find the lines incredibly limited.


It's surely not the same guy? He looked old then! It was the smoking in the shop that made me think of it. I was quite into RPGs back then so would often chat for ages with him. I used to buy a lot of my books there. Ah the memories, I loved living in Glasgow!  :)

Back on topic, I work on the basis that 1mm thickness equates to about 50mm of raised detail on buildings, etc. and select the card accordingly. I use a range from the really fine stuff to about 3mm stuff for bases, etc.

I'm pretty sure it's the same guy... don't get me wrong I am a rpg fan, so much so that a group of us used to play every Wednesday. But we always played 2nd edition D&D; I ended up not needing to buy many of the new books (I did have lot of the 3E/3.5 stuff which I ended up selling on ebay).

Awesome, thanks for the info man!


This is a great thread! Thanks for all the advice!

It would be nice to seem more threads like this, threads that list various suppliers of hobby materials. Obviously you'd need a different thread of each country and you could probably only list online dealers. I know the main ones;  antenocitis, 4d models etc. But it's always nice know where to 'bulk buy' to get savings. For what it's worth, I've also heard that antenocitis is a great place to walk in off the street to.

Cheers
