Jamie is correct. I used to build a lot of 1/285 scale wargaming scenery. As a base I used ceiling tile, because it would be easy to transport once the tiles were separated. As for scenery, I used blue, pink, and whiteboard foam. Using interior latex house paint was my best solution for cover. In grassy, earth, sand, or other areas that needed foilage, I would sprinkle on ground foam over the wet paint and let it dry. Then pick up the excess with a small vacuum cleaner, and recycle the excess material. For model railroading I use Woodland Scenics Hydrocal and plaster compounds. I still use latex paint, since it comes in wide variety of colors and shades. You could also get a set of acrylic paints at Wallyworld. They will not damage foam, and are water based, so they clean up nicely. Have fun! -Wolv33
