Thanks👍🏻, This method is perfect for my 1:12 movie shoot diorama since it uses no paint at all, the use of as little added paint as possible is preferred when doing dioramas for movie shoots I think
@@OilersWorkshop it always seemed like such a hassle to cover up the bubble texture. I hav used it as filler but not much beyond that. I will have to try hitting it with the heat gun.
One cool material I discovered for covering up the bubble texture is iron oxide powder. It's extremely fine, but works really well especially if you goal is to make your terrain magnetic. I'm going to try making some rock spires like you did but use the oxide instead of sand.

Super cool tutorial 👍 I will definitely use it for my future Dioramas I do model cars and Gundams, love your channel and all the work that you do..thanks for sharing all your techniques 👍
Nice job. What about making smoother rocks? Round type? Like I'm trying to make a diorama of Devils Den in Gettysburg. How should I go about that? Thanks
Start with a harder foam like XPS/EPS foam and use an extendable box cutter to carve and hope a geometric form and then get some 120 grit sand paper and smooth out the edges. You will learn a lot just attempting that. It’s a good place to start, then follow my concrete painting tutorial for the rocks
I've never made anything diorama-y or crafty...so I wanna make a giant asteroid, cause hey; it'd be hard to screw that up, right?!?! And I wanted a realistic sandy texture and your video looks to be exactly what I'm after. w00t! Thanks for the in depth step by step!!!
So if you coat the foam with 1 or 2 layers of glue(mod podge) THEN ad a layer of sand, you should be safe to add thin coats of spray paint. OR you can do the coast of glue and sand and then HAND paint with acrylic paint a dense bottom layer first, THEN spray thin layers of spray paint. All I’m explaining is just that you need to coat the foam in a barrier first(glue or acrylic paint work fine in this instance)
Speaking of that, many years ago I "helped" my son build a diorama of the Alamo, and lightly dusted the bare (didn't know better at the time) Styrofoam pieces with spray paint (lightly, not a heavy coat) and it melted just enough to give it a really cool worn and crumbled look.
Great work 👍
Thanks ✌️

Whatever works! It’s fun to see what looks best
Good use of the bubble foam. People keep giving me this stuff and I never know what to do with it all. Thanks.
There’s really a lot you can do with it

@@reddogterrain cover it with foam coat, mod podge, wood glue and then add your own texture over it
@@OilersWorkshop cool cool.
I will give it a shot and show you what comes of it.
Nice video! I’ve got several project on the table and this is a great method! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!

That sounds amazing, thank you for the tip, I think I have a bag of that laying around that I used to make rust once
So my only suggestion would be to add paint to the modgepodge, because of the sand flakes off over time you won't see the white Styrofoam underneath.
I haven’t painted the sand yet, this all gets painted, but that’s an excellent suggestion
Thank you! This was the video i was looking for! You answered all my questions in one video!
Glad I could help!

Hey! You’re welcome
You had my anxiety way up with that box cutter, glad you didn't cut yourself. lol. Great tutorial as always.
Lol I’m good
I do reckon this will work fine, does the mage podge always look that way with sand?
Yeah but it’s not painted, so you still need to paint it
Super cool! Do you wear a mask while working? Is there odor? Thanks 😊
Sometimes, not too much Oder if there is a fan
Will spray paint cause the Styrofoam to melt ...I'm asking before I try and I think I've run into this in the past

Awesome stuff. There a chance to see something akin to Hoth base or a Hoth cave?
Thank you, I am working on a hoth project on the background, stay tuned
Handy tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing
😄
Nice job...
Many many thanks

The glue gun was not to hot? I ask because thinking an melting the foam. I don’t have one that come with variable heat.
I used a LOW TEMP one, usually the small cheap ones are low temp
@@OilersWorkshop thanks for the tips
Thanks!
No problem!
The ayatollah of rock n rolla!!
🤷🏻♂️
the part i came to see is the part you didnt do.
Cool, if you’re talking about paint there is an entire playlist dedicated to how to do it all called “the tiny art experiment”…
