Decades ago, I bought a pack of monochrome green foam hills, similar to what you show… I was preparing to get rid of them just last week, but seeing your post made me consider the idea that I could dry-brush my foam hills and possibly make them look better and it might make them usable again.

As they are, they just don't fit with my other hills. Also, your hills are brown, and your shared post made me realize that I could actually make mine tan colored and utilize them as full 3D cave terrain, which I can put to very good use.

I genuinely appreciate your post for the inspiration it has given me! Thank you! Cheers!
