 |
|
These tiles are the basic "16x16" Ennis House tiles (they actually measure closer to 15 1/2"-15 3/4"). I got them from an Ebay seller sometime back with the intent of mounting them in the back of a display case. Unfortunately, all I ever did was hit them with some primer and they've been sitting ever since. They seem to be decent casting with just a very slight bow to them. Looks like they were slush-cast in resin. They are a little thin around the edges and I had planned to back them with some expanding foam. I've also got a third one not pictured if somebody wants that one also, I'll dig it out.
Unlike a lot of the vac-formed versions of these tiles, these have sharp edges/corners and a lot of grainy sand-stone type detail
Asking $75 each plus shipping... Thanks for looking

Good tiles...but for the deep groove at the right-hand side (should be on top). Good luck with the sale  |

Yeah, but nobody makes that version 
Any offers on these? I'm just trying to recoup some of my money out of these.
Would consider trades for Starship Troopers or Riddick items. |

It looks like they were cast from one of the Vacuum form ones. I have a few that have the detail on the inside as well. How many do you have?

Doubtful on being from a vac-form... these have too much detail.
I just have one left... |

| You can have kick-ass details if the buck used for the V-forming was made out of foam (hard enough to withstand the pressure) and a powerfull vacuum unit. I have seen some pieces that I thought were molded in resin and were actually V-Formed...it's all possible, but of course, the tell-tale is at the back of the tile: is it as clean as the front? If not it's not V-F. |
