I prefer the Wills ones to the Slaters. SSMP206 Pantiles.

Thanks for this LT! Just ordered a sheet to try it out. If it works, I’m sure Jamie will be buying a lot of it for the mini Rome he is currently building

It's gonna take a lot of Vikings to take out that mortar.

Wills are prettier (although that link from ET looked nice) but I found the Slaters stuff easier to cut Plastic drinking straws are also your friend, they make good ridge tiles.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Haven't they banned them for some ecological reason?

Circular economy mate. If LTs using them for buildings there will be no more straws dumped in the oceans.

A bit of test corridor for Ayton. Went ok though CB has probably persuaded me to go for 30mm tiles in order to accommodate his huge bulk Image

That looks pretty good. I found with my scifi corridors that increasing the 'grid' size to accommodate larger based figures can lead to it looking out of scale. :( If your guys bases fit fine on the 25mm paving then stick with it, most people use bases that size in any case, so why sacrifice beauty for the occasional awkward git with oversized bases :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
