For Whom the Bell Tolls
The Base
The base is made up of 12 x 12 inches MDF board from the Dollar Store.
They sell those in packs of 4 planks.
It’s cheap, thick enough (it won’t bend or warp with paint) and it’s easy to cut.
The only downside is the limited size: they don’t sell larger MDF sheets at the Dollar Store, but it is plenty of space for most buildings/ruins.
Bevel the edges and smooth out the corners with an Xacto knife, then I used sandpaper to file.
Sanding with sandpaper (any sandpaper you have laying around) is super fast (like less than two minutes), but the base looks more professional.
Cheap MDF :) The basement floor is a textured shelf & drawer liner that I found (also) at the Dollar Store for two bucks.
First time using it: it has a nice texture to it and it is super easy to cut.
(I imagine it could also be used to make an exterior plaza or courtyard with a fountain or even for dungeon tiles.)
It needs more bricks
