I'm looking for a online providers of pre-cup MDF board, which I can use to create 40K / FOW forests with. Any ideas?

I have seen precut MDF, but they are always in square or rectangle, or circle shapes. I need an unsymmetrical oval shape (kidney bean shaped, etc.).

Anyone know who might sell these? I could easily create myself with a jigsaw, but I don't have one.

Thanks!

I don't know of any pre-cut MDF board, other than rectangular shapes.

What I may suggest would be to purchase a coping saw:

Example:

Specifically designed to cut odd-ball shapes, such as that which you seek. Drill a whole (or start your stencil near the edge of the board), and cut away.
I've got 1 up on my screen from Home Depot for ~$7.

Why is it that only those who have never fought in a battle are so eager to be in one?

Miniaturescenery has precut (CNC routed) scatter terrain bases available.


I don't know who carries them in the US though.
The warstore used to (but apparently don't anymore).

If you buy a thin enough mdf, scissors will go through it, but still be tough enough not to warp when you glue things to it.
