Foamboard For Terrain

[Tim C]

I need to get some of this stuff for a competition entry that I am planning (more on that another time).
Now the question, where to get it from (UK) and what sort do I need, I am going to be making a rocky terrain piece where I have the main area for the minis inbetween two rockfaces.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Tim, do you mean the blue/pink stuff or foamboard - the foam sandwiched between two layers of thin material? If you are on about the latter you might score some foamboard from your local supermarket as most advertising banners hanging around the store are made from the stuff. They normally just get slung out periodically. Nows a good time to ask as Xmas ones will have gone up and there's sure to be old ones taken down to have made way for them. Ask at the customer service desk, we used to get loads of people wanting them. I remember having a tug of war contest with a cardboard cp3-0 through a car window ages ago with my boss at the time. I thought "great I've made it!" as I climbed into my mates car with it she came running out of the doors screaming at me some bloody customer had already baggysed it.

Mmm I am talking about the stuff you often see in GW publications that they make hills and stuff out of, but I have never used it or even what would be the best stuff to use for my project.
But thanks for the pointers anyway mate.
