I managed to get 2 of the 3 panels ground "textured". The third will wait for today as I ran out of gap filler (spackle) and need to grab some this morning from the hardware store.
The ground texture is 2/3 pre-mix flexible tile grout (sandstone colored) and 1/3 white glue. This concoction has worked well in the past as it dries rock hard but retains some flexibility so it doesn't crack from usage and/or moving the boards.
I'm still tweaking the hill design. The sides have been beveled down to a 30 degree angle which will support most figures. There will be an exposed rock face on the other side but that's just cause I like making them.
I did experiment with cutting a groove in the hill but really don't like the look and will fill that in later today.
The new terrain making workbench is working out very well as I can work on multiple panels at the same time.

Looking good Miles.
The use of tile grout is very clever
For my bases I use woodfiller and sand, but I think that isn't good for big plates. It looks great so far Miles!
Greetings
