I got a single 18" x 4' roll at target for about $3. USD

I plan to use them to line walls on futuristic sci-fi pieces.

How well does spray paint stick to it?

Pictors Studio,

This is what I have used on plastics before, and what I plan to use with the liner (Krylon Fusion for plastics):

I really do not understand… what is ribbed liner paper, what does it look like or simulate on a model?

Cacique Caribe05 Nov 2006 6:23 p.m. PST

Raven,

It makes a plain looking wall look like it is made of something like a corrugated metal material.

will this stuff work for plough fields in 20mm?

I think that the one on the first post could also be used as corrugated metal!

hmmmm looks like it might just be worth risking a personal recce trip to Target … thanks for the tip! Richard

I'm hoping to cover a few balsa wood blocks with this liner:

I bought a roll and noticed that one side is ribbed/corrugated, while the other is smooth. The smooth side should adhere uniformly when glued (I hope).

I think there is a lot of potential for using the liner for corridors or building facings.

Anyone ever use office and/or kitchen drawer organizers?

Many, if turned upsidedown, look very industrial/SciFi.

Examples:

Those with rounded bottoms can look like turbines, engine cylinders and such.

Yes, same Space Hulk Terrain article, from 3 different sites. One of them, I hope, stays working for future reference.
