After receiving suggestions from both arthur1815 and Conrad Kinch about the possibilities of using cork tiles to make hills for my portable wargame, I have spent the last half hour cutting up an IKEA cork mat to make some hills ... and I must admit that they look a lot better than my foamcore ones. Furthermore, they do not need painting as they are already the right colour.
All I have to do now is to sand down the edges to make the shapes look a little less stark and a bit more hill-like. Once I am happy with them, I will see what they look like on the vinyl chessboard ... and then I might actually manage to fight the next play-test of the rules I am using.

ReplyDeleteAs you are a founder member of the Norfolk Mountain Rescue Team, I knew that you would be able to give me all the names of the Hills of Cork.
