Would felt on the bottom of the hills help keep them from sliding?

Nice board!

JB

we have decided to paint,flock, and dot the bottom side to a desert tan in which knocks down the siding by half and makes the same terrain pieces twice as functional.

The small self adhesive rubber or felt pads that come in hundreds of shapes, sizes and colors are cheap and easy to install. the super thin rubber ones, like 1-2mm are best as they can easily be hidden on terrain or pieces. Heck, in thick flocking you may not see them at all!

I have made some 3D terrain and bought a stencil from Litko for 1.5 hexes. Lay it on the felt and spray with what ever color you want your lines to be. Wipe off with turpentine or other paint thinner to keep from clogging the holes. Much faster than Sharpie. Looks very good, and I wish my "Cyndi" model shared my geeky obsessions. O0 ;D

Do you have a link to where I can find this stencil? I am currently getting ready to build some terrain and 1.5" hexes are just what I need.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure links are allowed, but google "Litko Aerosystems" and hit the "stencils" link from their homepage.

Ah, if only they had a 1.75" stencil.

scatcat · « **Reply #50 on:** 20 December 2012, 17:40:10 »

Meh. Litko stencils are expensive for their size. I suggest commissioning a reputable stencil maker to cut some custom stencils for you. That's what I did.

Was very surprised with how small the stencils was for the price. :(

Yeah, after looking at the measurements for the size and price of the stencil I am tempted to make my own. I have some ideas, but I don't know how I am going to go about doing it right now.

Where might I find one. My google-fu for this was weak.

Jeffrey...I skimmed through most of the posts, so if this was asked, I apologize for a repeat.

Is this terrain something you are making to sell, or is this a project for yourself only?

It looks really good!

In my models case, shoes and bags.

It's a working relationship. She "works" on ignoring my ever growing Battletech collection, I "work" at ignoring her ever growing shoe collection.

After 20 years of married bliss and my wife's 100% acceptance of my hobbies early on, I have learned the words Coach, Dooney Burke and others as far as her purse collection is concerned. :D

there was a company who used to manufacture something like this - geohex I think? I always thought it looked pretty sweet and so does yours.

Still having issues with sliding? Someone mentioned felt and that was my first thought, however, you could also just put a small hole in the middle of each hex, then use a dowel to lock it down. I think it would end up being more work than the felt.
