I like the result! Good looking terrain.

Wow, Eric, that is some positively awesome work! I've been planning something very similar, on a smaller scale -- just two pieces, each 6" deep by 15" wide, able to be placed end to end for a 30" x 6" cliff face, or back to back for a 15" long hill that's 12" across, using a large piece of cork bark. I can't wait to see your next installment!

One question: it doesn't look like it to me, but did you use your spray foam to fill in any of the interior?

The spray foam has not been used on these…I managed to acquire some pink foam to use for the infills. At the moments its all working rather well.

However I am going to need copious amounts of filler – already used one tub on two pieces.

Whilst laying out the boxes I realised I needed another four smaller boxes so I am going to have to build these next . This way I can match up all them when it comes to the paint job.

That's one downside of building a "complete" terrain system, sometimes you can't move on to the next step until you catch up with "mass producing" the rest of your pieces, otherwise you risk inconsistency amongst the finished products. I'm struggling with that now, impatiently waiting to add clear resin to 2 finished 2'x2' river boards until I finish another 6'x2' river board, otherwise their resin "water" won't match up as well. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.

Those escarpments of yours are going to look fantastic. I know you're building them for your Egyptian Pulp setting, but I think they'll be able to serve as very useful terrain for periods potentially ranging all the way from biblical to ultra-modern.
