Hi I use the technique in this video. May I recommend that when you use the masking tape, that you have the neat edges showing on the bottom of the base, and all the slightly untidy folds on the upper part of the base. This way the untidy bits can be covered with your sand/grit and so on. Hope this helps. Regards Lexi.

That's a great idea!

Tip: if you want extra durability you can push trimmed down barbecue sticks through the corrugations in the bottom layer of the base and glue them in place.

Yep this is a great method. I have cardboard bases dating back to the early 90's and they still looks brand new.. They are used and abused with no special care. The sealing process is very important and we normally use 2 layers for durability.

This is one of the techniques that can be a real lifesaver as long as you are in the hobby!

@@MiniatureLandscapeHobbies I've always been amuse by the way people outside the hobby react. They treat you like some kind of hoarder. As I go to lengths to get something everyone else ignores or treats as rubbish. To a degree they are correct but I see it as recycling for a better purpose. Stones that look like a large rock at this scale or that scale. Interesting twigs, cardboard, bottle tops and containers are all ingredients to a visually pleasing top top for me.

bloody brilliant I have to make a lot of jungle terrain for the far east WW2 so i am definitely going to give this a try if iI can get my hands on the right type of cardboard

This really works well for jungle terrain. I did a commission for a client the same way and he was super pleased with the result. Good luck on the build and contact me if you have any questions!
