Shiri,
I have actually done quite a bit creating hill's. Unfortunately most are a lot
bigger than what you are doing. Strangly enough the only hill landscape I ever
posted was for my Star Wars Rebel Base which was built into a hill side.

For those that are relatively new to LUGNET these are pictures of the NELUG
set-up at Mindfest last Fall. I did the base, Dave Eaton did one AT-AT, and
Shaun Sullivan did the other AT-AT and the AT-ST. The rest was a combined
effort. Just giving credit where credit is due.
Anyway for these hills/mountains on either side of the base entrance I mostly
used BURP's and Gray Bricks. The interior is/was hollow with the exception of
a few supports. You wouldn't want to lean on it to hard but I think it came
out pretty good. I have actually collected a lot more BURP's since this
picture was taken and at some point in the future I plan on using this same
technique to build a mountain for my Castle World stuff.
I think if you have a few BURP's and some Bricks or Folliage to fill in the
gaps you could do something pretty impressive for Castle World. I know Jeff
Johnstone mentioned he is going to do things mostly like setting up sets for a
movie or a play. In that case only what you see has too look good. If you
have large gaps that are hidden with scenery or something else I don't think it
really matters.
Let us know how things are comming.
