The first thing you are going to want to do is gather your materials, this can include nearly anything from wire to pop cans. To build the featured hill you will need to start with poly styrene this is a dense insulation for the inside of commercial/industrial building foundations and can be found at nearly any hardware store, or on a construction site (ask your Foreman before you grab some). You may also require Foam Board if you are building a bunker this material is easy to work with and is fairly cheap, it can be found at most craft stores (Micheal's) or places that sell stationary items (Staples), it is basically a foam sandwich with paper making up the bread. Finally the one material you will need to build most terrain is box board (card stock), from cereal or a beer case, not corrugated board but there is a use for that i may get into later. Don't be afraid to experiment with different items go check out your recycle bin for odds and ends, straws and pop or soup cans can also work well. You may want a hand full of 1/4" gravel this will be helpful to cover up the gaps when you put your buildings together. Finally Gather your tools you will definately need a utility knife something to draw with (Pen or Pencil) a Ruler is very important -one with a metal edge works best- scissors a steak knife and some cheap white glue.
