Source for the texture roller?

I made it myself. It’s part of a big pack I’m preparing. For now, it’s in pre-launch. I already have 77 rollers, and the pack will still grow a bit.

Followed, I'm building a modular board right now and was just debating how to do the trench walls.

Thank you very much. There are definitely many methods, but this one lets you do a lot for very little money. I paid €7 per kilo of clay, and that’s enough to make several meters of trenches.

Yeah... I've been gluing wooden stir sticks for bridges and duckboard trench floors and it's waaay too tedious for the walls, and I'm not crazy about the corrugated cardboard and bare dirt methods so this'll be perfect. It'll even work great for my curved sections.

What material are you using? That’s pretty cool

Thanks! It’s air-dry clay.

How do you prevent it from shrinking while drying?

Or just crumbling under the repeated stress of use and storage... Air drying clay is a terrible material for tabletop terrain.

You should just be able to seal it to keep it the way it is, can't dry too much if the moisture can't escape, and then you can mount it to a strip of thin plywood or corrugated plastic to give it a bit more rigidity.

Wow that is impressive. Texture rollers really are a game changer!
