Well after mentioning it in a thread of Cacique Caribe's seemingly never ending quest for vacuum formed scenery, I finally bought and constructed some walls from the formed aquarium background made by Juwel ( link ). Chain store "Pets-at-home" stock it in the UK. I've done a write-up here: link But briefly I cut the sheet into 2 inch tall wall lengths: picture I then sprayed them black and dry brushed mid grey then light grey. Poor photographic evidence is here, but you get the idea. picture That's 8 metres of tunnel/cavern wall for £13.00 GBP I'm sure that someone with more ability and time could make some nice modular sections, but I'm quite satisfied with my bag stuffed full of free standing wall sections. |

That's rather good. Got a shot of the backs when cut? That square with a drybrush of metallics would look decent for SF games. |

As requested: picture picture ttauri, I know what you mean. They probably would do sci-fi. Maybe later. |
