    0:06 Hopefully the answer is, "More Durable than the passenger-side wing on Josh's car." Josh's struggles with the board got a solid giggle out of me. I'm amazed that the grass and trees survived so well. All the best with your evil-eye, Luke.

I can’t believe how everything is turning out. I just wanted to say thank you! You opened up this awesome hobby for me and your products give me the confidence to put my stuff on the table top!

    This was the board that really hooked me on your channel. I recently used a bunch of your techniques and some of your products on my own terrain, and then took that terrain to a tournament for people to abuse it. Went over a treat! Everything came back in great condition. This stuff really is extremely durable. You've hit that ideal space where your terrain is beautiful, while still rock solid, and it's not even that expensive. As always, thanks for all you're doing for our wierd little community of gamers!

    I tried an experiment a long time ago. I needed to whip up some objective markers for a scifi tournament and because I was out of resin and couldnt be bothered to manufacturing them from scratch I tried brushing some pva into my moulds before pouring in the casting powder. The hope was that they would get a tougher surface so they would survive afew weeks without chipping. So far they have survived well over a decade and been thrown around more times than I can remember. If youre worried the plaster is gonna chip give the inside of the mould a coat of undiluted PVA before pouring the plaster. Do it while the pva is still wet so the 2 can bond into eachother.

    As an ex model railroader, I used hydrocal ( dental ) plaster for my rockfaces. It does stand up to use , but can become quite heavy. I’ve therefore begun to scenic only building bases or points of interest. ( also helps with my storage issues ) Modular is great if you have the requisite room!

    This is the build that inspired me to do some similar terrain in 15mm. I'm in the process of doing some modular (600mm squares) terrain for 28mm figures so thought i'd try latexing the trees. Boy does that stuff stink and in a much more unpleasant way than the impact adhesive which I barely notice. A bowl of liquid latex reeks like hot school "plimsols" filled with rotten eggs. However the good thing is the clean up is easy as it just peals off the table when set. :D

Isoflex Clear Roofing...sealer? comes in paint can type pots, ive used it and know it gets used commonly for sealing larp props etc because its really durable, clear and whatnot. . . could use that as a final coal over the water surface and then to keep larp props non-grippy and clean (and drawable from scabbards without friction etc) we just use standard furniture polish every once in a while...... could be a useful tool ... or even just an alternative. . . . .
