A little test with "foil" for creating fast and easy terrain

I had a ball of used foil, some paint and flocking so I thought I'd test of a piece for making fast terrain. The results were pretty cool. I molded the hills by hand and set it down on a flat table and stamped the edges flat with a block of wood. Then I spray painted the foil a dark gray. while the paint was still wet, I sifted Woodland Scenics "fine burnt grass" flocking and a bit of small clump flocking. Finally, I wet it down with a mixture of white glue and water from a spray bottle to hold it all in place, then fan dried. This would be good for military miniatures of Z-scale model railroading. Especially neat, when you don't have a lot of money or time.
