Artificial Terrain

[PaperButler]

I am currently building a reproduction of the battle on Hoth but my dresser just wasn't realistic enough. I tried laying down pieces of paper to create a sort of "snow" and i found out a neat trick. If you crumple up the paper and lay it out it makes a neat terrain-like look.





I guess you could also make dirt, sand or water depending on the color of paper you use but I only had white paper and i didn't want to use my mom's good construction paper. I will probably attach a picture of my diorama when it's done.

Cool technique! Can't wait to see the diorama!

I think another technique I saw was using foam pieces and then have them carved down. From there add some PVA glue or and spread it until it dries. Looks pretty cool when it's done.

Crumpled paper? Already seen that somewhere and it didn't look good - you can't get rid of those sharp, straight folds. Maybe some glue-soaked tissue paper could do the trick.

fold it softly?

well, it's cheap and easy anyway.
