This weekend Skype chat with Coronasan seems like its becoming a bit of a regular thing. As we are both up and about in the mornings, well before our respective ladies arise, and a chat while we potter seems very civilised.
Only thing is, I always seem to find myself trimming MDF when we chat… This time a set of wooden harbour walkways. Specifically designed by TTcombat to complement their Streets of Venice sets and I seem to have been doing quite bit with those sets recently.
Its actually one kit with two walkway sets in it. A set of derelict walkways, that I suspect I would not trust to keep me dry.
And some pristine replacements… Almost a before and after kind of kit.
Its not a huge or expensive kit but it has enough pieces and enough modularity to be useful. (Just don’t remind me that I already have 2-3 other finished harbour/ jetty sets, packed up in boxes, in the shed.)

Cool little sets. Lots of uses for those.
I am curious about the cobble may you have. Where did you aquire it?

The mat is from PWork if I recall, made from PVC, and although the design is good the PVC mat leaves it very shiny. Another drawback is that the image scratches quite easily. But as it sits at the low end of market it remains a fair choice. The company has upgraded the image and their materials since I bought it so their stuff may be a bit better now. This has been relegated to become the permanent table cover for other mats to be put on top. It doesn’t often bet to feature in games unless the scenery takes up more of the board than the mat. Just like with the Plaza set…

Thanks for the reply. I’ve found a really nice textured wall paper that has a great cobble effect. Only problem is the price. $100 for like a roll 3’x29’….

Was it something like this? https://www.therange.co.uk/decorating/design-trends/metallic-and-glitter-wallpaper/pietra-textured-heavyweight-italian-vinyl/#173387. I’ve use this one an it’s perfect. Don’t know if you can get it where you are though…

Very similar. Different brand I think. Just trying to justify the expense!

If it’s $100 for the amount that you need I can understand the need to justify. Are you planning on basing a whole table with it or cutting it up to use for scenery? If its the whole table then a mat would be cheaper and longer lasting… Have you tried the local print shops? They can usually do large PVC sheets if you supply an image file for them to use. Some Chinese companies can do printed 6×4 foot, cloth prints, for as little as £16. Although shipping things from China might not be the first choice these days.

Cutting it up to make roads for my WW2 stuff. I’ll use it for the Mordheim table I am planning also. A mat would probably be a better long term investment, but I really like the texture of the vinyl paper.

Those look great. I agree, you can’t have too many elevated walkways on your battlefields.

Cheers. Always useful and might also fit as a Wild West raised boardwalk too.
