Well worth clicking that link, I saw a bunch of ideas to integrate into my own terrain making, simple though it might appear compared to that!

That is seriously impressive work. Will need a few hours to look through all those pages, but well worth it.

Fantastic work.

I particularly liked the attention to detail of the perspective layout and the use of foam for the Italian Canal tiles.

Thank you for the link. I have bookmarked it.

Actually a couple of qustions spring to mind.

Which type of glue is he using for the foam, and what does he undercoat with?

Thanks for the link; these are impressive. I'd also be interested to know what glue he's using.

After reading one of his earlier tutorials I think he just uses hot glue. You can also see a hot glue gun in the background of some photos. Seems too fiddly though. Maybe he uses something else also.

used to glue PVA glue and hot glue only in some places because the hot glue melts the polystyrene
