75th Anniversary of Battle of Monte Cassino and Northern Italy (Terrain Build)
Monte Cassino - Starting the Hill
The town of Cassino is dominated by the large hill and monastery overlooking it. At 520m high, scale wise I’m not going to be able to recreate this on the tabletop however having some form of representation seems appropriate.
Monte Cassino with the rebuilt monasteryI’m going to take the same approach to hill building as described here on BoW using foam. Fortunately, I salvaged some foam from an old sofa that was heading to the rubbish tip, so the cost of this will be nothing!
I plan to cut the foam in two and use it as a corner piece to the table. I’ve marked on the cut for the base piece and will then shape the top bit accordingly.

Marking the outline of the base piece
I found a serrated kitchen knife easiest for cutting
After shaping the top piece a little, I'm left with the aboveI need to provide access to the top of the hill, so will build in a road up the side. This will need to be carefully cut into the foam.
Next step will be to pluck out the hill side and remove the cutting marks.
