My partner and I were at an art supply store a few days ago, to get supplies for their very first figure to paint up (hell must be frozen, as I never thought I would see the day 
While they were trying to figure out what paints to get, I decided to wander around, and found some products on display from this company:
Wow! OK, I know that their products are geared towards children and school projects, but I was eager to try out their rock making kit.
Here is a pic of my first attempt on making a rock feature with their kit:
I am pretty happy with it.
The thing that is blowing me away, is that some of the kits that I purchased from scene-a-rama, are cheaper than if I had purchased the same items separately from the hobby store!
I have also been poking around their site and watching quite a few of the videos. I get a chuckle now and then watching the videos, as they are so tailored towards children, but to be honest, having these things explained to me in this way is exactly what I need.
The bonus for me, is that all their how-to pdfs are all free!

I picked up some of the Woodland Scenics 'rock' molds several years ago, but have yet to do anything with them.
Definitely a nice looking casting.

Just finished making a gentle hill using the scene-a-rama plaster cloth:
I am not great at taking pictures, and even though I like terrain that is not steep enough to make figures fall over, the hill looks awfully flat in the pic., but believe me, it does have some height to it
I popped the Urartian HCh General alongside the hill, to give perspective.
I found the hill to be too light, in that figures touching the hill tended to make it move around, so I added some pennies inside the hill, and voila!
All in all, and pennies included, I would be stunned if I spent more than $1.00 in materials.
Man, this hill looks so much better than my hill made from felt.
Certainly going to be making more terrain using similar methods to how I made the hill!

Finished up a second hill.
hills
Mark I hill on the left and Mark II on the right.
I seem to be getting the colouring and flocking to match closer to the board with Mark II, that's for sure.
For the next hill, I will be attempting to affix the newspaper to a rigid base, so I can get rid of the gap between the hill and the table.
