My first adventure with squishy foam terrain. Very durable. Enjoy! link |

Cool way to build up some terrain quickly. Have you considered dry brushing some earth-tones onto the foam? I think it would give them more depth. |

Good idea; I'll have to try it out sometime. Thanks for the tip. |

Oh cool. I figured the paint would eat the foam up, so I never tried this. |

Test paint a small sample to see what happens. Some paints do 'attack' the foam, others do not. |

Somewhere I've seen sponge rubber rocks/weapons/stuff that were coated with a layer of rubbery stuff that seemed to take paint well. I wonder how hard that coating would be to replicate? If I could cut straight enough I'm thinking this might be a good way to make some large urban landscape for giant monster games like Monster Island… use stencils to paint on windows and such… and have destroyed versions as well. |

Was the spray paint "standard" (ie: oil-based) or acrylic?
I too am concerned that oil based would melt the foam. |

I bought the cheapest stuff off the bottom shelf at Lowe's, afraid I threw away the can! No melting problems. Doc Merkury's look great! |
