Yes,  I used it to fill the voids in my old west butte (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=105875.msg1428457#msg1428457 and while I was doing that I noticed that odd blobs dried in an interesting form, so I played around with it.  On the butte I carved the excess off, but on the sci-fi hills I basically just blew the foam inside itself and let it mushroom up.



I use the foam with a gun, not the stuff that comes in a can, as it's easier to control. If you get it too high it will fall over, but I'm going to do some more with formers (cardboard tubes) to see what they turn out like.   It very light when cured but not too strong, but I think it'll stand the rigours of the tabletop.

Progress on the hills - experimenting with colours

Gave the foam a coating of the base colour used on the mat and then dry brushed with the mid tone and a grey. Once dried gave it a wash of burnt sienna and some streaks of thinned Payne's grey and a brown/purple mix.  Just waiting to see the final effect on the rock before finishing the base to match in with the mat

I think once the bases are done and a judicious application of tuftage it’ll look fine  :)
cheers
