This last week has seen me constructing some 10mm generic ruined buidlings for my 10mm world war 2 games. Pictures are here:

Good stuff - You can get 3mm foamcore cheaply which should be much more forgiving on blades (and fingers) and is very easy to work with.

Hi,

http://ww2games.blog.co.uk/2012/02/15/stalingra...

Might be of interest, ruins, (WIP) from cork tiles. No need to cut just shred with fingers and you get a nice irregular edge.

Cheers, Craig

Love itSmile

Glad to see a resurrection of cork tile buildings representing ruinsWink

Whats really good about this system is that bits 'broken off' make great loose bricks/rubble.

Wish I had the confidence to try it!

Craig,
Like the cork tiles. Where did you get the cork tiles from - every DIY store I've tried tells me the same thing "don't stock them any more - fire hazard.."

I've bought some recently ish from Wickes, as well as some cork tile spacers (the long thin strips). They should still have them?

And how can they be more of a fire hazard than all the blinking chip board etc?!

Bob,

Mine was Wickes, but it did take some hunting down, you're right Toxic most places have stopped stocking them.

Cheers, Craig

Wicks had them online - about £6 for 6?
