With the cityfight/imperial sector terrain has anyone or anyone know of anyone who cut the wall sections in half to double up on terrain faces?

I know it wont work with all the wall sections since many have interior designs, but with lets say the manufactorum both sides can be used as an exterior. The idea is to make a 2x2 interior like spacehulk or zone mortalis where only one side of detail is needed.

You would most probably need some sort of cutting machine for it. No feasible way of doing it by hand I'd say. Maybe with ample amounts of patience sawing away, but I would probably rather just dish out the cash for extra kits than do it by hand.

I am considering a project very similar to this, I have two Imperial city boxes from back think the day but that won't make enough for what I want.

Plan is to take a 4x8x2 sheet of pink foam and rip cut 3 inch lengths, then cut to the length and shape I want and wrap in city of death tiles. with 6, 12, and 18 inch straight sections and a variety of L and T shaped a lot of different table layouts would be possible.

That said I don't think they can be cut, too thin. The width of most blades will eat all the wall material. And for blades thin enough you are working by hand, and any off angle and you are slicing through the wall face.

If you need to make long, thin cuts in plastic, try a razor saw. Cheap and quick.

I would look into 1 piece resin molding, DIY. Buy the model kit once, then make a bazillion wall pieces.

This. Molding silicone and liquid resin can be a little pricey, and not really worth it for small pieces and bitz, but for something on this scale, you'll probably end up saving a good bit.
