Don’t cut too deep. We recommend 25 mm or 1 in squares for your grid, which fits well with 28 mm scale miniatures, with each square representing 5 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen use your creativity to create texture of the ground of your terrain piece.

If you want straight cuts you should use the included steel ruler to guide the Scenery Knife while keeping your fingers safely on the other side. Are you cutting natural shapes then use the Hot Wire Foam Cutter instead and loosely trace the shape, while not caring too much if we follow the line. Press the button to heat the wire  and work the wire slowly through the foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake straight cuts with the Scenery Knife on the parts you want to connect to other pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally you can add areas of rubble.

You can use the rubble to hide any mistakes or areas you don’t like. Gently tap the loose sand off and leave the glue to dry for a couple of hours before proceeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaint \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend using the Terrain Primer outside with the pieces on a stirring stick or other holder to keep paint off your fingers. Remember to use protective gear. When priming, try to mix up the angles of your approach, making sure you include a top-down motion to ensure  maximum coverage. Depending on your working environment expect at least an hour to dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTime to get out your paints and brushes and get your parts painted in the scheme.
