An A.I. Silicone Experiment.

I asked AI what would work best for roads to be draped over wargames terrain and it said 0.5mm silicone sheet. Not being familiar with that, I tried a bit to see how well it worked…

But what is it? Who sells it?

#Striker – thanks, I've had a look at the video and it looks good, albeit I think for large scales than 6mm.

But what is it? Who sells it?

They are the flexible roads that we made and sold at Tablescape. It's made from interfacing with a layer of brown acrylic door sealant/caulk, textured, dry brushed and then flocked. very thin and very flexible.

#TheOtherOneFromTableScape – judging from your use of the past tense and my inability to find your web-site am I correct in assuming you no longer sell these? If not please point me at your web-site, if so, do you know of others who now produce similar products?

Depends a lot on the shape of the terrain. A nicely sloped hill--say Geo-Hex--gets by with much less flexible road material than the old style "wedding cake" contours. (That's not a criticism of either: like other terrain, it needs to harmonize with the rules.)
