I stumbled across a blog post someone made about creating hedgerows from their pluck-foam scraps. I got to thinking, these are possibly one of the most ubiquitous materials in the hobby, surely other people have had similar creative ideas... but if so my google fu is weak in this case. So, a question or a quest;
Question; What do you do with your pluck foam?
Quest; Points awarded for creative uses to make hobby-related things. Extra points for pictures/explanations of non-obvious ways of using them, such as building terrain.

I use pluck foam scraps to pack other minis. At the moment, I have one big pluck foam case, and years ago I plucked the foam out to hold my cavalry for my WHFB army. These days they mostly gather dust on the shelf, while the case gets used to move tanks around for my 40k army. Each tank is nestled in a collection of foam scraps. While tedious to pack and unpack, it is secure.

I use them for sponge weathering

I glue them back together to make more dividers for other boxes.

hedgerows is a cool idea for something FOW scale though, didn't think about that.

I use some of mine as aegis defence lines. A bit of attention can turn them into precast concrete defence emplacements, or concertainer type systems.

This sounds intriguing, I'd be very interested in what you mean by "a bit of attention" and how they end up looking...
