Thank you for this. During the intro, i just wanted to jump into the scene and join the driver. It looks so appealing. Fantastic work.

You mentioned "you're stuck with the results the mold gives you". I do beg to differ on that. You can always mold part of it or break it at the end, can't you? I've tilted the mold and let it taper off while it dries.

Hi Joey, Great you can get your brother to do the dirty work…. A quick trip to the US Gypsum web site will give you the correct ratios and way to mix plaster to get very predictable results every time. The ratio of 2-1 plaster to water is correct but it is by weight and not volume. I use a postage scale to measure out the water. Place the water into a CLEAN mixing bowl. Then add the correct weight of plaster, sifting it in. Don’t simply dump it in as a blob. Let it sit undisturbed for two minutes allowing the plaster to absorb as much of the water as possible. Then gently stir the plaster to finish the mix. It should be very smooth ready to pour into your rock mold with almost no air bubbles. It’s works every time I try it. Never need to add either water or plaster. Plaster, hydrocal doesn’t matter. I also use inexpensive food containers from the dollar tree as mixing bowls as they are very easy to clean and I can use them over and over.

You comment about an earlier video about how you make your ground color but which one is it?

[@tracksidescenery]

Robert, I am going to guess we're talking about the ground covering itself (not the rocks), If so, that would be in the video about using real dirt. In that video I use a dirt colored paint mix, paint and glue mix and then real dirt. That video is here -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIjUfmh6q5aAd5I
