Australia plastic grates rectangle apeture

Post image
26 Upvotes

Before you say it - No, flyscreen or granny grating will not be suitable. It must be rectangular apeture (hole).

Having some difficulty sourcing a particular style of plastic grate. This product s basically what im looking for, but as a building wholesale supply its all bulk and i dont need 50m+ of it. on top, shipping fron europe makes it basically $700 for 10 rolls of this in the minimum order.

main thing is the rectangle apeture 3x4mm holes, fine mesh, small holes, the offset holes perfect for me but even straight rectangle mesh would be good.

trying to find similar here in australia, online is terrible.

any help for alternative stuff to search?

Scratchbuilt Crafting and painting tutorial of a Wigwam In The Plunder Den

Post image

Disclosure: I help Dexter, the creator of The Plunder Den YouTube channel, with 3D scanning and printing. The build below is his, and the tutorial is on his channel.

Dexter built this wigwam for an Eastern Woodlands village. Wigwams were the dome-framed, bark- or mat-covered homes of the Wampanoag and other peoples in the region. It’s a scratch build, so you can scale it to your own table.

KICKSTARTER Somehow, choosing glue is the most serious part of this tiny build

6 Upvotes

I started a rolife-style miniature build thinking the fun part would be arranging little shelves and plants, but now I’m spending way too much time thinking about glue. The included stuff works for some parts, but I can see why terrain builders have such strong opinions about adhesives. For tiny wood pieces, paper, clear plastic, and little bits of fake greenery, what works best without fogging the windows or making pieces curl? I’d like to keep the build neat and fun instead of guessing my way through every type of surface.

I want to create some really cool wired sections within my 40k terrain, some mechanicus corners tucked within buildings. Any recommendations for wiring would be much appreciated!

Questions for the Community Struggling with securing scatter

Post image
43 Upvotes

Heyo, newish to making terrain for my miniatures. I'm trying to play around with scatter, but for the life of me can't get it to sit decently + not look wet. I've tried pure/thinned pva on the base, as well as kraut-tack. To seal I've tried both kraut fixer and a wick-thin pva to try and seal, but no luck. The only way I can get the scatter secure enough not to be crumbling off is to apply so much sealant it ends up looking wet.

Annoyed I'm stuck at such a basic point, but I'd love to use my lovely krautcover scatter to knock up some gaming terrain and can't seem to figure it out.

I had a tiny little Simon Belmont figure and wanted to give him a decent display stand. A month of extreme trial and error later, here's my interpretation of the original final staircase up to Dracula's throne room. Not 100% satisfied with the vine placement, but my biggest issue is how difficult this set is to photograph properly.

I am back again with another paper tile set! I wasnt planing on doing a new set so soon after the last one, but I really wanted something for Halloween. I thought some spooky story in a graveyard setting could be a fun adventure with the kid ^^

I wanted to try some wall tiles with some spikes and a new grass tile set too, something more bleak ^^ Coffins, gravestones and I also did a small Mausoleum, nothing fancy but it add some character to the Graveyard ^^ I think i will expand it more later on, but for now Im pretty happy!

Yes the goose is a wizard, You know it.

Enjoy!
