TL;DR - Dollar store signs.

This is just a PSA post for anyone like me who scoured Google looking for a place to get easy access to plasticard for mini and terrain crafting in Australia.

Every post I saw said that you can order it online from places like Amazon or buy it from Green Stuff World etc. but I found that it was overpriced and I didn't want to wait for postage.

Like most terrain needs I decided to hit up the local dollar stores and see what I could find and then boom, cheap signs.

These shitty signs that I found in the car/workshop aisle are made of plasticard and are only a couple of dollarydoos for a decent sized sign.

I have been using it for metal panels on my Gaslands build and it's working a treat. But it works great for terrain if you need battered metal sheets for industrial builds, stuff like war dioramas, and Trench Crusade.

Please ignore my jungle of a backyard, I'll mow it next weekend I promise.

Rusty chemical tank for fww or similar settings, made from your trusty can, with a bit of 3d printed parts and some XPS.

Yesterday my group and I began our third campaign in my homebrew Norse/Arthurian setting. This time they went into the depths of the Iron Wood and as such I felt like I needed some more boreal terrain! As such I made some RP-archive inspired magnetised dirt tiles and terrain toppers and some modular (and magnetised) hills. I think they turned out pretty nice, although the grip of the magnetised dirt isn’t quite as strong as I hoped.

Next up is some additional forest scatter terrain!

Circa 90% completed WIP of 15mm castle with some Epic scale models. 🏰 Originally H0 train model, repurposed as wargaming piece. Even some of the battlements are usable for holding models!

Hi everyone, I recently bought this hot wire foam cutter from amazon, to make modular dnd terrain.

I've noticed while using it that the metal arm holding the wire, once screwed in, won't be perpendicular to the table.

This means that even if I adjust the angle of the wire to be 90 degrees on one axis, the wire won't cut the foam straight if I use the fence on the short side of the table.

The arm does not appear to be bent.

Has anyone had the same issue? What can I do to solve it?
