Tried a new Technique , (well new to me you guys prob have done already) it was really easy too, just cut strips of card , a little wavy not just straight, then cut them into smaller buts, then just glued them down as floor boards, did the walls on top , quick paint an BAM. the card i used had a great texture when dry brushed with the brown to so even easier.

That is a slick technique, and the result looks great!
BTW, what the !$#@! is that book in the background? It looks familiar somehow...

"Good artists borrow, great artists steal." Since I'll be stealing this, it must mean I'm a great artist. . .

What kind of 'card' did you use that had texture?

Very nice texture but I am usually too lazy and just paint on the texture.

I really like this. I think I'm going to use this technique for my modular city set. I'd love to see more pictures if you do anything else with this. |

Looks good. I've been trying to work out how I'm going to do western tiles for my up coming game and the method that I've settled on is to cut a piece of cardboard to the size I want, glue Popsicle sticks to the cardboard, then glue on the cardboard walls. I've got a prototype done that I'll snap a picture of and show everyone. Should look pretty good once I get it painted up, after all, most of the tables and things I've done with Popsicle sticks look good so far.

I tried this before, but my card was thinner. Thicker definitely does the trick. Thanks.

Great result. You could even use a fine pen to draw some wood grain if you wanted to. For my hardwood floor in my Keep I used wooden coffee stirrer sticks, then sealed with matte mod podge. A little more work, but also a nice result. In retrospect I should have cut some to random lengths to make it look less regimented, but you learn as you go in this world.  |
