I've finally gotten around to posting some photos of the cork walls I started
here, painted and finished. They have been painted in a similar way I do all my adobe stuff and blend nicely with my existing builds. I have quite a few more to texture and paint, but they are relatively quick and easy to do. They are also very cheap and simple to construct.
One small downside with them is that with my current terrain boards the walls sometimes don't sit flat enough, being displaced or raised by the larger pieces of sand and pebbles. This is only a slight issue though and something most wargamers live with. All in all I am very happy with the walls and know they will be very useful pieces. I do need to construct some form of firing step though, as the walls are just taller than a 28mm figure, as seen below.

Very nice job, very effective. I have a pile of cork tiles lying somewhere myself...

ReplyDeleteExcellent. I've been toying with various ideas to make walls using cork tile as for a while. I will have to give these ago.

ReplyDeleteAmazing job!
How did you paint the walls?
Did you textured it first (if so, how?) or did you just painted over the cork?
The walls were textured with filler and then painted. :)
