I looked at Lowes' website and found something called "ADO Products 14" x 4' Rigid Rafter Vent". I think this is it. Here's a link: Shop ADO Products 14" x 4' Rigid Rafter Vent at Lowes.com |

Still a WIP... I'm struggling with a couple if things.
1- I have yet to find something for flooring. 2- spray paint that doesn't eat the pink foam. 3- a paint style/technique for the walls that I like. The roofing vents work great for walls, they are VERY cheap and easy to cut. I use scissors and hobby knife. If you want to build a base or HQ out of them, you need to fasten them to something sturdy. I just use them for backdrops and like to switch them around. Here is couple more test shoots.

So I was right about them being vents. I actually want them as a backdrop for 12" figures. They look big enough.

Thanks for sharing this! I will definitely be picking a few of these up! These are cheap which is perfect for the pocket book! I just ordered two of these sheets! Do you have anything behind these panels to support them (..foam board, etc.)?

This is such an awesome find. I went to Home Depot ad got some of these. There is also a larger size that might work better for 12" figures. I can't wait to paint for my PIT backgrounds...

Fantastic idea man...
I've been hunting around for a good backdrop to take photos for my Joes. This is excellent AND cheap. You've done a great job with this. Thanks for sharing. |

Once again thanks for sharing this diorama idea! I just received two sheets of this in the mail from Lowes! I will be ordering more; these are perfect for dioramas! These can be pretty much cut to your liking! The cool thing is they are pretty cheap too!
