I just drop a ruler on and draw a line with a sharp pencil. Nothing to it. It is 10mm underfloor insulation sheet ... £4:20 a sheet and a couple of sheets would build you a huge dungeon. Got mine here:

Easiest stuff to work with ... and cheap as chips .... can't believe I have put this off for so long.

Thanks. Sounds suspiciously too easy! I guess it holds up to wear and tear okay once painted though? I've been using cork but it crumbles and doesn't look right in many places.

Yes ... I tried with cork. Scrapped it after one failed tile ... I could see it was going nowhere near where I wanted to go.
So if you want a pack of cork tiles .... I'm your man. :D

The blue foam is remarkably robust ... it's only flaw is it is very light weight. So either you need to be placing it on a grippy surface so it does not move about or mounting it on some MDF so it has a bit more weight to it.

More to come soon. I am cracking on with this.

Next up .....

I had another Scotia Grendel bit that looked like this:

I thought it might be cool to head down into the sewers for a for a bit .... sort of "corridor" you might find behind aa secret door? Or forced into the sewer as an escape route???

So I made these bits:

So I could build this:

Then I remembered this and thought that this would be a great place to 're-surface' again:

So I built this:

and ended up with this:

Here it is with a top on:
