My friend told me that MDF (or sawdust board) is much harder to make terrain out of because it soaks up anything you put on it. If anyone can give me a little insight on this anomaly, it would be greatly appreciated. Warman. I bought 2 4×4 boards of MDF that Im going to start building terrain on.

Most articles on gaming table are just that, for the whole table!! This can get quite expensive when you consider lumber sturdy enough for legs and supports. What you have done is made it more affordable as well as more protable! I have an even lower cost suggestion for you and others as well that is even more protable! The Army in the States issues wool blankets during soldier training as bedding for it's troops. You can get these blankets at most military surplus stores fairly cheap. They are made of small fiber wool and died green. The fiber content makes it look much like flocking. This blanket can be laid across any table for instant flocking! It's weight helps keep it flat and wrinkle free! I have even seen a few gamers staple this to their gaming tables instead of using flock. When you are done gaming just fold or roll it up and put it back in the hall closet. Dave,

I advice you to take relatively thin plates so that you can make several layers, which will allow you to cut craters or anything similar into the top plate. A friend of mine drew even a plan for integrating a necron crypt in the depth. I hope I´ll find the time to get this thing started, yeah! Imaging a crypt part in the depth with a sandy stair and a small walk with sleeping necrons on both sides. Oh, anything else: if you use sprays with polystyrol, make sure that it´s coated proper in any way, cause you won´t like what you get when you didn´t. Due the spray solvents the polystyrol could be molten. I coated the polystyrol parts either with watermixed glue for wood or with painting for walls for inner rooms. Hey jon,

Has anyone done this before? just wanting to see if its more effective going that route as opposed to a wooden gaming table.
