Manorhouse Workshop: New Flexible Modular Ruined Abbey Tiles - Testing Durability Videos


Manorhouse Workshop: Today we have to show the results of a ungrateful job. We need to test the resistance of the 3D Bases. Brrr…. We shudder just thinking about it. 

Let’s start with throwing the base on the ground and step on it repeatedly with some strong working (and quite dirty) shoes… … then, after stepping on it for a while, you realize you just need a wet cloth to clean the base and bring it back to its former glory. Amazing. Try to do the same with any other material. 1 to 0 for the 3D Bases.


In the second video we want to get more brutal with the our bases. The first test is “crumple and rub” with my “delicate” hands … done repeatedly on a Cobblestones base. I even try to rip it apart. But in the end I must give up and I put it back at his place, unscathed. 2 to 0 for the 3D Bases. Let’s try then with a more tridimensional base, the “Column with Ruins”. There, it should not survive, be assured!

I fold and twist it in all the ways I can think of, I show that it’s hollow on the other side, I try to bend it in multiple ways … then I put it back onto the table. The base is completely fine, like nothing happened. If it weren’t alive, I’d swear that it was looking at me with gleeful smile. 3 to 0 for the 3D Bases, I give up. What to say ? It’s an amazing material, nearly indestructible and who gives back the perfect image of the print.
