Hills / Slag heaps - Daffrid

Well it was inevitably really, every wargamming site needs an article about hills, the ones shown here are simple, but functional requiring very little skill (waits for a 'witty' Dysartes comment) and are one of the first things I made 'back in the day'.

For these particular hills I used flat packing polystyrene which was hacked into shape with a penknife before being smoothed over with various grades of sandpaper. The various blocks were then stuck together with PVA and painted (NB don't use Aerosol sprays as they usually melt the polystyrene) with an acrylic based paint in various shades of red and brown to give it the windswept Mars feel.
