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.
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.)
