Modular Miniature Road Terrain (Easy and cheap)

I made up some cheap and easy roads for miniature wargaming using EVA foam, peel and stick tiles, and some craft paint. Each one only took about 5-10 to make (without drying times).

Exactly what I needed to see! Thanks for the tutorial and inspiration

At last a fellow scratch builder who's at good at maths as me. Just found you, subbed and binge watching now. Keep up the excellent work

[@NinetaleHobbies]

It's my specialty. Thanks for the sub. Hope you enjoy the channel.

I’m stuck too lol. Really good work.

[@eddydu490]

Is there a way to just paint a realistic roads for diorama straight on the cardboard and just paint it realistically instead of needing anything at all?

[@TerrainbyAaron]

@@eddydu490 maybe throw some really fine sand into a black mi of paint that would give texture. Other than that I just use Vallejo's tarmac paint. It was 10 euros from Amazon

[@NinetaleHobbies]

You can paint pretty much any detail on a flat surface. It's really just preference of materials and time. Stippling goes a long way.

[@crippledfoxgaming]

Brilliant work! I had a bunch of extra craft foam and was wondering what to do with it.

[@TheHobbyGrotto]

Those roads look great!

[@NinetaleHobbies]

Many thanks!

[@SuperVoodude]

Those came out nice! Gonna need to practice my flicking-objects-to-paint-them technique.

[@NinetaleHobbies]

Thanks! It's all in the wrist and tearing a small hole in time and space. Occasionally a tiny eldritch horror escapes but that's the price we pay for instant paint jobs I suppose .

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Very nice tutorial and outcome. Thanks for sharing!

[@NinetaleHobbies]

the blue one

Have you tried using vinyl tile with the finished side up to make roads? (if it's glue-back tile, you can put paper on the back. Dry-back tile doesn't need any backing) I bought a bunch of cheap tile and want to try it. I think it *ought* to work, but I might have to sand some of the gloss off to get the primer to stick.

[@NinetaleHobbies]

I have. It's... okay. I feel like it's really close to working, but it is just a tad off. I'd say give it a go. The worst is that you flip it over and try something similar.

[@ryleedx1209]

1/64 scale is included

[@Bmwm8_lover]

is it 2mm or what mm thick is it

[@SquidCena]

Does cork damage rubber tires? Weird question I know, but it wluld suck to roll cars around and it just either messes up the cork, or the paint messes up the wheels

[@NinetaleHobbies]

As long as you're not pressing down as hard as you can, I don't forsee any problems either way.

[@nesnduma]

What’s the purpose of the aluminium foil ball?

[@NinetaleHobbies]

It gives a subtle texture to the eva foam.
