Terrain - New Hills, New Method

 Nothing too exciting, but found an old can of expanding foam in the shed, from doing some DIY a few years back, and decided to give it a try for making some hills. 

Sprayed out the remaining into a couple of piles, let it dry out then roughly carved it into a hilly shape. From there, I got the poly cutter and gave it a little bit of detailing around the edges, before undercoating black, then giving a zenithal spray of grey to make the rocky colouring.

10 mins later, gave them a good blast of adhesive spray and piled some flock onto the hill to cover. Another 10 mins and gave that a good bashing to get all of the loose stuff off, before finally adding some tufts and such for final detailing.


Pretty easy and pretty happy with the results. These seem to be much more rocky, difficult, hills than the gentle idyllic curves of a lot of terrain, so its a good variety.
















Needless to say I've bought another can and prepping to make a pair of MASSIVE hills in the same way.

  1. The are really effective and given you’ve used foam filler they are probably fairly robust...

    All the best. Aly

    1. Well, they can take spray and bounce when dropped, so I'd say so, yep. You could possibly put a sealing coat of something on them for extra protection, but any chips on the grey sections are easy to cover, so I'll probably not bother
