I know that stuff, won't it crease if you push it too hard?

I know this from walking past many of my dads plants in this stuff and leaving a nice thumb print in it from being bored.

Perhaps a PVA mixed with water coating will harden it up, with use it might show some wear and tear.
Also perhaps some green stuff into the joins to smooth it over.

Other than that they seem to make great semi-instant hills!

ya i coated it with elmers glue to harden it and to prevent it from flaking off. i know i need to fill the cracks but i dont know if ill ever get around to it

go to Lowes and get the off brand Liquid Nails, dont get the name brand stuff. the name brand skins over pretty quick, the other stuff has a log work time and is great for filling gaps, let dry overnight and spray paint.
or paint with textured paint and then spray.

and if your going to take the time to paint your fiogs nicely, why not take the time to paint your terrain, terrain is easier and faster.

also when you see your thumbnails in photobucket, if you see the 3 links one is an [img] tag, copy that to the thread instead of the link and it will post the picture and stop wasting time to hit other links and better chances to see your work.
