Here’s a shot of plaster castings from my WWII village mold. I sold the original mold on ebay.

You will need for this project: extruded foam, PVA glue, sand, baseboard, cheap acrylic paint, craft knives.

1. Cut your foam. Dry fit every part. Glue your foam together and on your baseboard.

2. Add texture (mix PVA - diluted with water - and paint; add sand) - the sloppy part! Wait for it to dry.

3. Paint (black basecoat, raw umber undercoat, raw sienna heavy drybrush, light grey drybrush). On the image, the light grey drybrush was done only on the top-right corner piece of the arena for demonstration.

4. Let dry. Varnish (matte) if you want it to last longer on the gaming table.

5. Play with it! The following image showcase a multiplayer Mordheim skirmish between a Skaven warband, a Drak Elf warband, and an Ostlanders warband.
