I also glued down chunks of this cork paper I also bought from there. Then I added some different shades of green and brown paint just to make it look like natural ground. I only added the paint to one out of the 3 though cus once it dried it made the edges curl up a little bit and not lay flat. which i fixed by holding it down with rocks which also fit into the diorama naturally so no big deal.
THe little hills are foam I saved from packaging. I dremmeled them down to be more roundish instead of square. Then I painted them brown and green and then I glued moss on them.
The mountains were influenced from this video (see below) but I did my own take on them. Instead I didnt glue them down to anything so I can move and pose them however I want. I used big pieces of styrofoam I had saved from packaging then i ductaped the most random stuff to them to give it shape and 3-Dness. Then I papermachet them. after that I gave em a quick brown wash to give it a more textured look and lastly i glued moss and other similar stuff on em.
You ever checked out the terrain tutor? He works mostly in "wargaming" scale (whatever that is), but his techniques are really easy to translate to 1/18". His videos have helped me out a ton, can't recommend him highly enough.
