New Hill, new Method


This is a prototype for a set of hills I will be making soon. They will be constructed from insulation foam. Yes, I was given some so no purchase here.



This one is a bit square, my excuse is that I was experimenting to find out just how it would work and had thought I might place 2 close together to create a larger hill. I'll probably not bother with that.


So the next will be a bit more sculpted and smoothed. I do intend making some without any rocky outcrops too.


Also, very importantly, I wanted to make sure that I wasn't making a hill so steep that models would slip off or down. As it happens I'm happy with the test.





This angle is the only slightly dodgy one, and I know where I went wrong, so shouldn't happen on any of the other hills.

  1. Looks great! So much more detailed than the usual green and flocked looked.
