Regular readers would know that I have been working on some Zeoforms for Zeo Genesis, a game in development by Andy Chambers and Gav Thorpe. The models Rob has been 3D printing for me are huge, and I needed a place to store them.

I had purchased a storage box from Bunnings a long time ago but found the “pluck” foam too thick for 28mm miniatures, but it was ideal for these large miniatures.

I threw all the foam “pull-outs” into a brown paper bag ready for disposal but left it in the garage and forgot about it. When I ran out of model bushes for my jungle terrain pieces I had been building, I was looking for something to use and just happened to glance at the bag!


The three items I needed. A large open necked storage container. A foam terrain maker often wrongly named as a hand blender, and of course the foam. I suggest you do not use the foam terrain maker when SWMBO is home!

Throw the foam in the jar and just “zap” it!

Mix the foam PVA glue and whatever colour you want (I just used cheap poster paint).

Add to the base of your model or scenery.

Above is an unfinished piece of jungle terrain O have been working on.

I now have plenty of foam bushes for the next few years.
Nicely done, Dave! 🙂
Thanks John
Well that’s one way to make ground foam. Looks great.
I like it and so easy to do
The ingenuity of man on full display!
It was a great idea but ingenuity goes a bit far!
