RFDHobby | How to Make Foam Rocks for Wargaming Terrain without a Hotwire Foam Cutter - Easy Tabletop Terrain @RFDHobby | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this Wargaming Terrain Tutorial we look at how to make foam rocks for the tabletop without a hotwire foam cutter. These are made from the same cheap xps insulation foam you can purchase at most hardware stores, and ended up looking really good. I still have some work to do on the overall look of these, as I feel like I could improve the textures and the painting somewhat, but I'm still really happy with how each of these turned out. In the video I go over the techniques I used to create 2 simple rock formations, and also detail some hurdles I had in finishing these off to hopefully help you avoid the same challenges. I've found this xps foam material to be really versatile for terrain building, and even without a hotwire foam cutter, there are plenty of possibilities for it's use in building wargaming terrain.
You can check out the concrete bunker build made from the same material here:
