Hills are a handy addition to any battlefield. They can provide cover, objectives, and can simply add visual appeal to your table. I've posted a tutorial about some hills that I put together. Pretty basic, but I like how they turned out. I used pink foam, caulk, some paint, glue, and flock. You can read about the whole process on my blog. link

I like your texturing technique. I have some foam insulation pieces (around 200, actually) which need some surface texture added. I've been debating how to add the texture, as efficiently, and quickly, as possible. I was considering toilet paper wetted with PVA Glue (would require painting a 2nd coat of PVA on, to make it tougher for handling -- Uh!), but it seemed too tedious for the quantity involved. Your idea of using caulking would be sooo much faster, and efficient, to achieve my desired texturing… I will get a tube of paintable caulking, and apply it with disposable gloves. It should be relatively quick and easy, compared to the other options I was considering. Thank you! Cheers! |
