  • Love it!! I've been mulling over making a diorama for a Sherman I am making and was sort of stumped on how to even start the ground work. Watched this video, went out and got some light weight hydrocal, followed your instructions and the results were great!! Simple!! Stuff NEVER goes this easy for me!! Thanks!

  • @winterfritz1 Cool and grats. You have fun with it.!

  • what other material i can use to replace the hydrocal? because i don't know whats that and dont know how to find them.

  • @aaheng You can use plaster of paris. Or if you are really in a spot you can even use paper mache.

  • What did you say you used? (The wet stuff that you put the paper towels in)

    And if I wouldn't be able to find it, what could I use instead? 

  • @GretarProducions The material is called Hydrocal. You can use plaster of paris instead, it works just as well. Or, even paper mache but thats not as good. Good luck!
