one thing that might help the color is varying the base colors. desert rocks shift in color between the layers. deeper reds and grays mixed in with your browns and tans. some even have green tones mixed in. I live in the American southwest and people are always shocked at how colorful the desert can actually be
While it requires more cuts, the dollar tree foam core works better for the striated rocks most think of for the desert rock formations. Cut them roughly to stack up and roughly peel the layers, and glue them together before cutting it more into what you want. You end up with the same basic look, though a bit more smoothly worn together for it, add in a few times working the edges with a rough rock...and I tend to also take some thinned patching compound (the type that dollar tree sells, watered down quite a bit) and run over it to add more variation in what is similar to a drybrush over it.
It looks like you were mostly looking at Bryce Canyon and Arches for inspiration for these. You might want to take a look at Goblin Valley State Park in Utah for hoodoos that are about the right scale for a lot of skirmish games.
Hey do you think you could something on the wild west like building's or miniatures because I'm running deadlands right now and that would be really helpful thanks. Ps have a great day

You are funny…
Like your humor…😂😂😂
That was a Great intro my friend :)
Great crafting project!
Loillll Brilliant!
WOAHH!! Make a videeo about those stairs at 15:50 🤩😍
Im also try to glue foam with white glue XD but I have no patience to wait because white glue take to much time to dry on foam. So I use hot glue.
Use xps glue... you can cut it with a hotwire cutter still... go watch train guys...
