[QUOTE="tennyson, post: 625034, member: 1963"] Hi Everyone, I stopped by a local Warhammer shop on my lunch hour the other day and was admiring these great landscape models that were displayed. I especially like the rock formations that gave a nice depth and bit of realism to the scene on the table. Anyway, I asked the employee about them and he told me that he cut them from a type of styrofoam, brushed some Elmer's glue on them, sprinkled a little sand on the glue, and then painted them. It seemed too easy to have great scenery like this! Unfortunately, duty called back at work and I had to leave without getting any details. I was wondering if any of you have made similar items. I remember that he said the styrofoam could be picked up at a supply store like Home Depot and it was pink ("packing foam" was the term he used, I think). Do you hand paint them or spray paint? I'm sorry if I couldn't be more detailed, but it would be awesome if I could make some props like this for my current group. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
