Hi mate. This looks really good. How did you get the rock face looking so rocky. Is it rock moulds? Or just contouring the plaster cloth

[RMS55]

@jasonandjoesrailway this is a test

@jasonandjoesrailway Hi Jason, I use home made rock moulds. see "Rock Faces Using Flexible Moulds" under my videos

This is on plaster. Any hints for doing it over white styrofoam?

[RMS55]

daggyz1959, Use thicker paint with a paint brush. Plaster lets the paint soak in to give a realistic look.
