I remember seeing a post here (which I cannot find anymore) about 6mm roads. They were very flexible and weren't too pricey. I know it wasn't JR Miniatures because their rivers/roads are kind of "thick". These roads/river were "bendy"…..

Not sure if it was a tutorial to make them or an actual vendor that made them.

Man….does this ring a bell to anyone?

Also….one last 6mm terrain question. Has anyone here used those printable buildings you find on PaperTerrain? How do they stand up to the little resin ones? Are the paper ones nice enough detail? Are they a PIA to cut out, fold, etc…?

Thanks for any info provided!

I have quite a few of the Paper buildings not hard to build at all. I really like them. No clue on the roads/rivers.

Total Battle Miniatures does roads, but I'm not sure about price.

Gamecraft does lasercut felt ones that are reasonable, but are what they are.

I've built a few 6mm paper buildings (and have tons more to do some day), they're nice in detail, and stand up ok as long as you don't step on them. They can be a PIA to prepare, but that's pretty much unavoidable. One trick I came across was to glue a penny in the base of them, to weigh them down a bit on the table.

Not cheap, but Miniature World Maker roads are fantastic quality and durable. I haven't bought MWM rivers, as I already had a stack of Baccus resin ones.
They may have improved since, but I returned the roads that I bought from TSS for a refund, as they were very poorly made. That was before I discovered MWM.
