For a while I've been wanting to build some walls for my Pulp Alley meets Rogue Trader project.
I went through no less than three designs before landing on one that works well. You can see all the designs over on the blog: linkThey're versatile – useful for corridors and rooms, and for a podium (the original reason I built them).

@ Terrement. Drat, I knew I missed something! @ Zargon. I'll post here once they're done, it may be a little while. |

Very nice I'll be curious to see how the cork takes paint. |

Beautifully. I generally use a sampler pot of house paint – cheaper than Vallejo! No undercoat needed, it sticks fine. And the texture means you can dry brush easily to create some variation in the finish. |

Those are very nice. And yes, those sample paints are nice and inexpensive. And sometimes lead to awkward questions during a game: "Is that bunker done in Martha Stewart Rustic Home Collection Sage with Honey Mustard accents?"
"erm… yeah." |

Ha ha, love it! That could be a thing: the Martha Stewart honey mustard bunker. |

Sorry, haven't come back to this thread until now. The cork is 6mm thick, 30cm square. It's for cork flooring. |
