thanks chaps
actually the hill is just paint...
I had had it for ages and thought it would be a real bitch to paint up but big brush and black gesso then a smaller big brush and dry brush on several shades of grey for the rocks and a big brush and a base green followed by the little big dry brush in a few shades of green and yellow for the grassy areas
and it was all done very quickly
....quite useful for headlands too when I splice the mainbrace and act like a sailor and play with Fellatio Hornblower and Captain Hugh Jarce

a reference for all the Lard Lovers out there
