Get some Terrain Sets at Naloomi’s Workshop

If, like me, you have some Hirst Arts moulds and just don't have the time to use them, or perhaps you don't have any... in which case you need to get some, just to show your friends... then never use them.

Anyone got any ideas?

Oh, and it breaks if you drop it. This is NOT a product I endorse, contrary to BoW Andy, who likes that sort of thing (he makes dungeons out of it, and he takes way better care of the… Read more »
Best way to avoid breaking is cast yourself- when mixing plaster, add some PVA (I’ve even seen PVA used to strenghten concrete, with a noticable difference in it’s toughness!) which will prevent cracking, and make sure to use the right kind of glue !
