6 mmterrain

[Erik]

I have just picked up 3rd generation warfare and like the rules a lot. I have decided to go fore 6 mm scale, so need lots of new terrain features. Most notably roads and buildings.

Can anyone help me find either a reasonable easy way to make roads (asphalt/concrete)and buildings or someone selling then.

Cheers
Erik

For roads wouldn't fine black or grey sanding paper work? Easy to get and cheap.

Don't use sandpaper - you'll sand the bottom of your minis off

http://gcmini.mybigcommerce.com/6mm/ - Allen at Gamecraft has awesome stuff.

Also, N scale train roads are terrific, and come in peel and stick rolls, with options for crossroads etc.

Vinyl floor tiles are a great and cheap alternative will post some photos when I get home

Thanks for the answers Guys. I must say that GCMINI makes some beautiful model. Maybe a bit out of my finacial leaugue if I would populate a full table with then, but i am definitely buying some of then. Vinyl floorliles sound interestin. I will look forward to seeing some Pictures.

Hi Erik,

Some photos of my vinyl floor tile roads and autobahn in action earlier this year. You can see more examples on my blog http://coldwarcommanders.blogspot.co.uk/

How did you go about doing the road markings on the vinyl - I take it mask and spray?

[cardophillipo]

The road markings were done using a fine tipped paint pen available from Hobbycraft stores in the UK. They come in a range of colours I have a yellow one for doing road markings as well.

What sort of tiles were they? I would never have guessed that they were tiles!

[cardophillipo]

They are vinyl floor tiles with an adhesive backing. The tiles are 305mm x 305mm (12" x 12") and sold in packs of 6 or 8. I get mine from Poundland in the UK which sells them in packs of 6. One pack can give you up to 60 feet of roads.
