I live in South Africa and always drool over any terrain tutorials that show lavish amounts of pink insulation foam board, as this is impossible to get here, does anyone know of an alternative. Help me One-Ring users you're my only hope.

Can you get the foil backed insulation foam , if so you can peel the foil off it. Takes ages to peel off but the foam can them be used in the same way

Foam board is Extruded Polystyrene (XPS), doing a search on that with South Africa I came up with this https://www.summitxps.co.za/xps-boards/ there is a list of suppliers on that page, hope this helps.
