Hi!
I just ordered a large quantity of this line to cap off my epic terrain collection.
Since the tiles and roads are made of plexiglass, so what type of paint should be used? Acrylics?
Any suggestions on what to use (as well as colors) is appreciated.

I like to use RustOleum Lt Grey automotive primer and then you can go on top of that with anything you like. As a matter of fact the grey you see in that photo I posted is just the grey primer ... then I used acrylic railroad colors (Polly Scale) for the streets (Oily Black), sidewalks (Aged Concrete) and other accents. The main color is just the spray primer though.
If you use a good primer like that there is no prep work needed at all other than maybe a quick wash to make sure there is not oil from your hands on the parts. You could scuff up the the plastic a little with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper to insure a real good surface for the paint to "bite" into, but that falls into the optional/suggested category.
P.S. Your order will be on it's way to you probably tomorrow.
Hi!
Much obliged for your response and advice.
I suspected a good primer would do the trick. I have a collection of similar tiles in wood for 28mm and have used a good gray primer as base.
I am also planning to use a textured paint/primer to give the roads a "rough" texture in contrast to the side walks. I suppose that would work as well?
I really like your sand paper suggestion, and while optional, I am planning to do it as well.
Again, many thanks for your advice and looking forward to further offerings or such fine terrain pieces.

Are these card or platic ,resin etc As said ina few posts ago, an intact piece would be nice aswell, In the same design so it can be mixed in, To have ruined buildings and in tact buildings in epic scale on the way would be fantastic,
