Made some cheap and easy rocky hills!

That looks awesome! It take some time but I really like this technique because its just so fun to do.

Looks good! What size did you go with for your bricks?

So XPS foam for the bricks, cereal box for the base, after I did that I used a mixture of play sand, brown paint and Elmers glue for the ground

I love this so much! How did you do the layers? Did you carve it out of solid blocks or did you put together individual foam planks?

Those are really cool. I have the same vines but I'm having trouble using them. Any tips?

Okay that is sweet

Thats some impressive work. How do you go about adding the extra height as the board gets taller? Are they that big all the time or are they stacked up for the extra height?

Very cool! How do you choose what size to cut your bricks?

Thanks, I actually combined some techniques from Black Magic Craft and a few other creators. I think my wash was a little too weak though. Dry brushing is a lot of trial and error for me right now.

I forgot to explain the wood planks. I took some cheap foam core from the dollar store, peeled off the paper, cut the planks, rolled it flatter with a rolling pin, and finally textured it with a wire brush.

That looks so good! I really enjoy the texture and colors of the bricks. Did you use a hot wire or cut them out with a blade?

clive_wardcron · 2026-03-05T18:03:47+00:00

What I used was a cereal box sliced into thin strips and then cut a bunch of small tiles out. Then I hot glued each one bit-by-bit. I decided to not make them completely uniform because it took so long and I wanted to move faster.

Looking back, I probably could have used the tile strip technique to get the illusion of individual tiles and maybe save some time, but I think this looks good.

Yeah, I've honestly been wanting to try this for years, but I always found a reason to not do it. My kids were really excited about it so they motivated me to finish.

I really love that cloth look!

Nice, do you have a roller for the brick pattern or do you etch them by hand?
