greyseerco Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Not sure what the railroaders are using, but this is basically the same material that is used in plumbing, just in sheet form. You should be able to get it from any arthouse or sign shop. You may be able to get it from a plastics company, but they tend to be wholesale only. PVC cuts a little easier then gator board, but not much, and it is best to have a sturdy box knife and a good heavy edge. I do have a follow up, as I have been considering trying some of this out (once my mat card stock is used up), how well does it hold paper glued on with regular glue (so the low water stuff). Does it require any form of special glue to work with paper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregdorf Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I have used 3m spray glue, which I do not like but it does work, and a paperless tape. I doubt you can get your hands on the paperless tape, at least in the sizes where it would not be a pain in the but. If you get the PVC from an arthouse you may ask to see if they will prep the board with the paperless tape and how much they would charge for it. If they want to charge more then $2 per square foot they are asking too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keltheos Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I have the Streets file sitting on my hard drive, now to find some time to build. Maybe next weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregdorf Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I am in the same boat, I ordered the sewers set and all I have been able to accomplish is printing out the templates for the foam core. I think I should have some free time this saturday, lets see how long that lasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I know of a computer'game' where you could design your own medieval cities (incluiding siege engines, whole castles and villages), and after that you could print it, and put it together.. Does anybody know what this program is called? Otherwise I'd look it up, and see if it's the right scale,, if it is, it'd be ideal for making cheap paper terrain!
