What's that coming over the hill...

Would you look at that, it's more hills...

In one of the previous posts I mentioned I needed more hill Hexes. I have made about a dozen, right at the start of this project, but these aren't nearly enough...

The hill Hexes can be sorted in different models, depending on the number of high points. I have made several hills with one high point, two high points, three and four high points.

Examples of hill Hexes...

Making the most of a free afternoon, I have made a whole bunch of new hill Hexes. Including a couple of double level hills, Hexes on which the hills rise two levels. These are indispensable when constructing a larger, higher hill. Something I found out while setting up my Hex terrain and trying to build some high ground... Without these Hexes it's highly likely you'll end up with vertical gaps.

The bare Hexes, stacked and glued two or three high.
These form the basis of the hills...

The basic shaping of the slopes is done.
The shape is still irregular and a bit jagged here and there...

This relatively small set of hills does take 39 Hexes, six double layers and nine triple layers... While cutting basic Hexes doesn't take up a lot of time, cutting 39 does... All worth it though, these are a welcome addition to my ever expanding set of Hexes...

After some firm sanding the hills look a lot better...

The top of the Hexes is painted green, as a base for the grass.
The sides are painted in a dark grey...

These will be left to dry properly overnight. The next step is applying a layer of glue and grass... After that, some of them will get some trees or bushes applied to them.
