DIY - How to Make Realistic Stucco Texture Paste for Dioramas

[@ducatisti]

This is fantastic. I've been fussing with a stucco treatment on a diorama for awhile, and never thought to use a foam brush. I'd been testing with natural sponge and crumpled paper towel but they didn't create a fine enough texture. Off to stucco some tiny walls now!

Thank you!! I’m glad this video was helpful for you, good luck with your projects and thanks for watching!

Great use of the foam - I really like the textures you were able to produce using the foam - Nice work! 🙂

I am amazed at the difference between the first and second finishes. You’re good! Could you please do a tutorial on how to be patient enough to create things like you do😂

[@smolworldworkshop]

Thank you!!! I love creating subtle differences in the finishes! Haha I guess an easy way to enjoy the process of a build is to just make things that you like! It makes all the tedious parts worth it!

would this adhere to primed plywood?

[@joeppediy]

Wonderful video!!!. Can I use another type of plaster as fil ceramic? Why do you use mod podge, it is better for what? Thank you in advance for your answer

[@pl0xyy]

Your videos have been really helpful! One could just use any other acrylic color in the mixture to paint, no? If I wanted to paint a blue wall for example, or is it better to paint afterwards, does it still hold the texture? Keep up the good work!

[@smolworldworkshop]

Glad to hear that! And yes you should be able to mix color in just fine. The plaster might make it dry a little lighter than the paint color, so it’s worth testing on a scrap piece first!

[@zeynngaming977]

These look great! Do you need to leave the piece to dry before your go back over with the second pass of heavier areas to create the second style texture?

[@smolworldworkshop]

Thank you! Yes I leave it to dry between coats, but the paste dries pretty quickly after it’s been applied. Thanks for watching!

[@sharonc7031]

Excellent! Thank you.

Can you leave it outside ? I want to make a small house replica of my own home and place it in my patio

[@juliannehannes11]

Would food coloring work or do I have to paint over it?

[@smolworldworkshop]

Hi there! I’ve never tried food coloring so I can’t say for sure. I’d recommend doing a test piece to see if it works. If you’re only going for white, you could also try just mixing the plaster, mod podge, and water! Hope this helps!

[@stressconpanna]

Can I substitute the Plaster of Paris for cornstarch? Thank you in advance :)

[@smolworldworkshop]

Hi there! I’m not sure as I’ve never tried using cornstarch. I’d recommend testing it out on some scrap sample pieces, and just practice until you find a method that you like. That’s usually what I do, I hope this helps and thanks for watching :)

[@rcmag1639]

Can I use modeling paste instead?Please reply, I hv been wondering lol

[@smolworldworkshop]

Hi I think molding paste would hold it’s texture just fine and work well for this! I’ve used golden molding paste for texture before
