I frequently cover my display tables with colored tableclothes to create a

a blue that I cut up and use for harbor or river scenes.  And at $2 each, that
is a lot of colored Town or Castle acreage for the price!

Reaching new heights (literally), for my current castle project I have varied
the elevations of two of the six tables hidden under the cloths, thus providing
more than a totally flat surface.

As for true mountainous terrain and such, the closest I have come is perhaps
MOCs similar to the old Forestmen sets.
