I was following the discussion on the return of JR Miniatures and started browsing through the website and the line of 15mm prepainted jungle/desert terrain caught my eye with its material description of 'RTV' (As an example, link All of the RTV I know of is flexible, so I started thinking about the possibilities of flexible terrain stands/bases instead of the usual flat CD base. I can think of two positive features of this: the terrain stand could be placed on an uneven base, like a hill or something, and the base would sort of stick to the underlying mat and not slide around. I know that special-effects makers have some sort of paint that bonds to the silicones that they use to make body prosthetics. Has anyone tried something like this? |

Total Battle Miniatures have been using flexible terrain bases for a while now with much success. I found using a PVA glue mixed with emulsion paint worked well. |

War Torn Worlds link makes flexible terrain from recycled tires. Great prices for practically indestructible terrain.
The rocky hills slope up to a 15mm height and could be used as a base for terrain. The hills could probably be ordered without flocking, I have always had great service when buying from them at conventions. |
