You can use heavy cardstock as a substrate, to which you glue a paper-printed stone texture. To bend it around curves, all you need to do is score it on one side (the convex side). Since you'll be covering it with paper, it won't matter if this means the cut/scored side is towards the viewer. You can cut out a piece of cardstock to serve as the curve template, too; just trace the plan of the curve and then cut it out with your X-acto. Glue the bottom edge of the chip-board wall to the template, and then you'll have a flat flange (the bottom leg of an "L") to attach to your layout. The template will hold the curve in the shape you want while you attach the paper texture. <br /> <br />The only downside is that this is all paper-based, and hence prone to damage from water-based scenery methods. To bring you topography up to the top of the wall, you might need to get a little innovative, depending on what your normal scenery techniques are.
