Title: Flippy, floppy roads from Timecast
Post by: fsn on 13 August 2014, 06:22:40 PM
I got an e-mail from Timecast advertising a "new flexible terrain system". It's "flexible latex and can be "easily painted" in acrylics. 

Anyone else got anything like this? How well does it keep paint?

I have seen some of their prototypes. Pretty well basically.

They provide instructions on their website for painting.

I have floppy roads from Old Glory, bought about 20-odd years ago. I used washes on them and they are still holding their colour to this day.

I would look at Fat Franks floppy roads on Ebay.  Already done and about a third of the price. One of my friends have some and they look really good.

Just realised how that reads - My friends floppy one looks really good  :-\

I use Fat Frank too and I've always been more than happy with quality and service. He will also adjust what he does as you wish.

Orcs

Yes, I have some too. He will make them to order in 10, 15 or 28mm sizes.

Highly recommended and , as Orcs says, a fraction of the price.

Don't know, but drop him and email, I've always found him very helpful.

He certainly does joining waterways in 10mm and 15mm. Can't see any bridges on his site.
