I'm about to run a series of desert dunes encounters and wanted some dunes. I wanted them to be fold-flat. I found a shape in DerekPages Terrain Megalith that I adapted. The paper I was using was too thin, so I glued it to another "dirt" texture paper - and BAM! It's reversible! No new techniques here, so I'll just leave photos. Yes, those are the same two pieces of paper in each photograph. Super Flat, Super Versatile - Live Play photos in the coming weeks...

I really dig things like this. I've seen tons of beautiful buildings, but I get a lot more utility on the game table from natural terrain, since most of my gaming encounters happen far away from civilization.

I like this idea a lot. The example shown has very steep inclines, though, which look much too steep for anyone to just walk up. If you want a gentler slope, you could make the hill only half as tall, but put another, smaller tier on top of the first tier, something like a flattish, free-form wedding cake. Then you'd be depicting a hill that could be walked up (or fought up), and make it possible for a mini to stand on the "slope"--which could add an interesting king-of-the-hill dynamic to skirmishes. The overall effect would be similar to the stair designs that use a few steps--typically four or six--to visually represent a staircase that would have to be 12 or 15 feet tall in scale.

OK. I've got two more ideas for fold-flat - here's another one applied to WWG's Hinterland Forest Hill Page #3 - cutfile included. Stores flat as one piece (one tab glued between two layers of the top)... I like this one a bit more, though the top isn't perfectly set, it is much easier to assemble.

Here's the last idea: All side flaps. I don't like it very much, as it tends to open with weight. Works OK with an internal support (which can also be fold-flat, so there's that...) ALSO REVERSIBLE. Seriously modified hill from Armor Grid: Terrain Pack, by WaffleM
