I recently bought a cool looking clone tank (http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=126_207_211&products_id=1542), which I think can become a neat piece of terrain/display board detail for my CSM army, but my problem is that I need to place them on something. I want an industrial-looking metal floor, but I'm not sure which material I should make it of, and how to go about it. I hope somebody could give me some ideas, thanks

I want something like what is shown in these pics

Its called chequerplate (or checkerplate) flooring and you can buy plasticard versions at various different scales. check out Plasticard and Evergreen as two common international manufacturers. You might be able to find a Norwegian equivalent.

Don't know about Scandinavian sources, either, but it's usually called "treadplate" or "diamond plate" in the US.
