You can order XPS foam from Placemakers. But by the sheet only. Hope this helps

I've used softboard ceiling tiles that I've removed from, well, my ceiling (an actual renovation project, not demolishing the house for materials to support the hobby . . .) Based on 3mm mdf, they're obviously heavier than foam or polystyrene but quite resilient. I cut the centres out to make them lighter and, happily, use for another smaller hill :^)

ETSY, Mighty Ape, is where I got my last two lots I think. Search modeling Styrofoam

If you are still looking I have a sheet here, free to a good home. It is about 1200mm x 600mm X 30mm

I just keep the packing whenever I buy a TV, piece of furniture or major home appliaance. I don't buy these things often but I've never run out of material for terrain
