Great job and nice technique. Can the foam pieces be glued together with white glue? Also what are all your foam pieces glue to? Thick Cardboard? Thanks in advance. Phil

Nice job!. what I have been trying to do that you do with a brush is i use a hobby knife to carve some random strata and then push a nice pointy stone with plenty of texture into the foam on the crack edges to make them pressed in, which also gives the fractures (it also leaves an imprint of the rock texture which is a nice add)

To get a longer working time out of your plaster, mix it with very cold water. I also put a teaspoon of baking powder in each cup of plaster and this also seems to extend the working time of the plaster. I can get a working time of about 20 minutes from this mixture. I have seen videos from Boomer Dioramas and he uses Fast Mache to fill the cracks and to form overhangs and earth. The Boomer Diorama is a fantastic site...This is Bob Ross on steriods...

Hi. This is why I love watching different modelers. I always learn something new. The straightening technique is brilliant. Plus the hot glue thickening is very helpful. Thank you.

Your spraypaint better not be acryllic, as the solvent will eat up the foam !

As an alternative to the stubby brush for adding texture to flat surfaces, try a file cleaner. Many steel teeth on a brush background, works great.

The overhead is .020" steel wire and is merely decorative, the car is powered through the rails.

It's the type of foam you'd use to insulate your house. Extruded polystyrene.

What is, "methylhydrate" and what does it do?
@rupheandtumbelle4 жыл бұрын
Methylated spirits, isopropyl alcohol or waterline antifreeze will work as well. It just dilutes the paint to a wash consistency and is thinner than water so it flows better.

Wow! This technique is so unique. It's so different from anything anybody else is doing ot least on youtube. The results are astounding!

By far one of the finest tutorials Ive ever seen and Ive watched a lot! Really excellent. How well do the paints you use work in a wet situation such as terrarium or even an aquarium?
@rupheandtumbelle4 жыл бұрын
Thanks Don. In theory all the materials should be moisture proof for terrarium use, I don't know if they'd work for an aquarium though, if anything they would be hard to keep submerged. No idea how critters would react with them either.

GREAT VIDEO!!!!! Thank You for your knowledge! What is the foam attached to in the early stage? Didn't see that in the videos. I see that you used your short bristle brush intently to beat in a stipple rock texture and I noticed no movement to the foam. Is it affixed to wall or did you construct a back plate independent of the wall?

how thick is the foam board. one inch or two inch. Also what was the fluid you mixed with the paint in the bottles
@rupheandtumbelle5 жыл бұрын
The foam was 2" thick on this area. The paint was thinned with methyl hydrate or methanol. straight water would work as well, but the methyl flows better.
