Battlefield Hardfoam Terrain
« on: September 19, 2012, 05:08:13 PM »
Hi all, we hadn't seen Hardfoam Terrain before, so we decided to try some out from Basicks.eu:

More pics and info here:

Seems like a great material for terrain, and the style of these definitely fits in with 40k.  Anyone else already using Hardfoam Terrain? What are your thoughts on it?

Very nice review!
Could you explain (Elucidate) on the hard foam? what is that? How hard is it? Can it be painted with solvent based paints? is it like the spray foam insulation available under several names, Great Stuff being one?

THANX for the heads up tho!
Quality has a quantity of its own

I know White Knight has some hardfoam building from a German company called Ziterdes
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=17637.315
Here is the link of their website http://www.ziterdes.de/ziterdes/de/

I've been thinking about buying some and see what I can make of it after a repaint. White Knight seems to be quite happy with them

Regards,
Za

Thanks, its actually quite hard to explain what these are made of, the closest thing I can think of is if you had a mold and then filled it with that expanding foam used to fill gaps in walls/insulation. It has a smooth surface, and feels quite durable (although i'm sure you could dent it if you pressed onto it *very* hard), plus it is very, very light. I belive you can use solvent based paint on these with no problems, but have not painted our ones yet. Might be worth dropping Basicks.eu a line if there are things you need to know in greater detail. Glad you liked the review :)
