If you don't mind me asking, how do you make your cliff walls look like that? What tool(s)/technique(s)?

My "Styro Cutter Plus" leaves a lot of stringy melted polystyrene behind. My wire cutter obviously gives a much different look.

Thanks in advance. I really enjoy all your videos. You are highly inspirational and verbose. I wish you all the best.

@drewsuschrist I use a flat bladed hot wire cutter such as a tipi or the freehand router from the Hot Wire Foam Factory. It requires a series of passes to get the effect. Many wire cutters will leave the strings you mention and sometimes you just need to lightly sand them off. I use a stiff old toothbrush and that gets rid of most of the mess. The temp of the blade can effect how stringy the finish is as well. For these pieces, since I was casting them, I cleaned them a lot.

I'll throw a quick and maybe too easy idea at you for the 6mm walls. Snow/winter. Just some spots of white, drifts in some places, and brown grass- boom. Napoleon in Russia. Not much call for it, I know. But you can at least hold the option out there.

[Terranscapes]

@riftalope Nice ideas. These pieces are easily adapted to winter scenes and is an option if desired. :)

Hi mate,those hills are amazing.Can you tell me the material source and how you managed to sculpt it in such a way? Thanks and pro work.

[Terranscapes]

@rastan1977 Thank you for the compliment. I don't do tutorials at the moment, but the masters were carved from insulation foam using a hot wire tool. Then they are cast from silicone molds using plastic/resin and expanding foam.

@CubicleKK I like that idea. Thanks. :)

You could make your desert piece(excluding cacti) without the cutouts, then bury magnets in various locations, then make your cacti pieces with beveled edges and magnets. The beveled edge cacti pieces is placed at the magnet location on the desert peice, versus having to make cutoffs and have the variance between the cutout and cutout hole. Just an idea.

@chicophi220 Hmm... I suppose you could top the disk with a thin sheet of styrene a couple of mm wider. Would need a compass, and one with a scoring blade would be great. Going to give that some thought. Thanks for the feedback!

[chicophi220]

@Terranscapes I see how that could be a problem. Maybe adding an additional disc with a larger diameter than the cactus disc piece, which could cover the hole entirely. Place that on top of the cut disc in a way that keeps it relatively flush with the rest of the base. That could achieve a more seamless integration of the removable vegetation.
