Don't let green plate availability daunt you. Plate-high contours on a hill
could be established by plates underneath green bricks. Then plates of any
color can be used since they won't be visible in the end. Picture molding the
hill in multi colored plates and then covering the whole thing with green
bricks once you have the desired contours. The only place you may need to
worry about green plates then would be the edge or perimeter of the hill
though slopes, rocks, water, and other landscape features could help disguise
the apparent sheer edge.
