I would use Kallistra's Hexon II for such terrain. Indeed I have done exactly that for my large battle ACW rules. |

Konstantinos's approach is a good one for people operating within cost and space constraints. And it's more flexible than modular hex terrain. Chris |

And it's more flexible than modular hex terrain. Doesn't look as nice though … |

Besides paint and flock, another way to improve the look of the hills would be to use thicker material. 1/4" thick would probably be ideal given you need up to 3 layers. Here in the state you can buy a mile of 1/4" pink board (folded, for easy carrying!) designed to insulate garage doors. I think my batch cost me $30. USD Even using scrap corrugated plastic (get to know your local sign maker) would work, after sealing the edges with tape. |

well give me some time, foilage, sand, and white glue and I should make it nice. But yes Hex Terrain is wayyyy expensive for me, though I can see its charm. |
