- I start this video off with Sculpted piece made out of XPS Insulation foam that already has BLACK base coat.
This is the first of many Videos reviewing my self discovered techniques for how I go about BASIC Painting Concrete effects on FOAM WOOD Plaster and many other materials for Miniature sets for Art, display, film makers or hobbyists. There is a lot of information in this video that can be applied to many different situations, feel free to ask any questions.

I still have My Star Wars double Album set with the Poster, I purchased the Album in the 70's just after seeing Star Wars with my birthday Money. I was around 10 years old at that time.
Awesome! I am doing a diorama for the new Hot Toys The Batman and this is exactly the type of look I am after. I just bunged a lot of your videos...thank you so much!
That’s awesome!
Always love your tutorials! So much great insight here.
Thanks Vincent
the best concrete texture I've come up with is 40 grit sandpaper and a rolling pin of some sort👍 hurts less then a foil ball too🍻
You are simply fantastic!! I can't express how helpful this was compared to ANYTHING else I have found. New favorite for my new hobby!
You rock! Thank you I’m glad it helped
Amazing! I’ve been looking to get into making dioramas and found your channel and your so helpful it’s great thank you. The information you share and the tips and techniques are exactly what I’ve been looking for in a diorama creator. I’m looking forward to seeing all of your content thanks for all the time and work you put into your craft.
You’re awesome thank you so much
How you add depth to concrete just blows my mind. Lol. It looks amazing.
Wow thank you
I really appreciate your videos and work. It definitely inspires me to continue honing my diorama skills.
I'm currently working on a diorama of one of most iconic dive bars in Buffalo, NY and your IG and RUclips channel definitely helps me pick up the brush.
Anyhow, keep up the inspirational work!
Thank you so much
Amazing work as always.
Very nice of you to say thank
Who would think a person could make fake concrete exciting to watch??? Awesome vid. I have to try this one day!
Just watched this one real like the stacking or build up on color washes. And use of different brush strokes. Thanks 😊
Thank you again
Great stuff! Thanks Jordan!
Hey thanks Chris!
Yeah, I'm definitely getting some ideas based on your project for a concrete wall. It could be the backend of the mall or office building or parking garage/overpass area but the idea is planted!
Rock on!
Huge fan keep up the good work get tons from your videos!
Thank you so much
Thank you .. I love your videos and they are so inspiring
Awesome
Amazing work. Thanks for the tutorial. Not many people like to share their techniques.
My pleasure! yeah we artists like to try and monetize our time so we can get paid to do what we love so we tend to release information slowly, Ill have a lot coming out this year for ya!
Thanks for sharing dude this was helpful!
Glad it was helpful! youre welcome duuuude
Awesome video. Thank you!
Hey you’re welcome
Really good tutorial. Thanks!
You’re welcome thank you!
lets try it! nice work!
Go for it
Very nice 👌
Thank you
I would like to learn how to make the brick wall next!
I will be doing that this year for sure
This is great and thanks for sharing! Do you add any texture to the foam other than the indentations here and there?
It depends on what I’m trying to achieve, this is just left plain and whatever indentions happen happen. Some times I scrape it with sandpaper some times I use a rock, but the wall was left plain and the sidewalk I used a little bit of a rock
This looks amazing! When you do the base black paint first, do you mix the black paint with mod podge? Or is it just plain black paint?
Also do you use any type of sealer at the end?
I’ve never mixed paint with mod podge, I’ll have to explore that. And I seal it wil rust oleum clear matte spray
The painting effect is superb! I'm working on an HO switching layout and will be making a section of buried track in a concrete pad. Any tips/ideas on how to go about doing it? Got a video?
This method should work fine you can order different thickness XPS foam off Amazon that you can trim down and size and then use this painting method on
I couldn’t find the first part of this video where you are carving these.
If you wanna see me carve some go checkout ART IN REAL TIME Ep41
@@OilersWorkshop thank you. Great tutorials 🤌🏽
Your concrete is so realistic! I am just starting out on a book nook and wanted to make a concrete pavement. Do you have tips on how to build one? Would have liked to see how you put this together. It looks like you cut them separately and placed them together?
thank you, its insulation foam carved with a ruler and an extendable box cutter, you just cut/carve into the foam the lines you want and then drag the tip of a pen through your cuts to widen them, you can sand the foam edges with 120grit sandpaper to round them over, thats how i made the sidewalk you see in the thumbnail
@@OilersWorkshop Thanks I did go on to your other videos to see how you did it. Your workmanship is so precise...something to emulate for sure! I am a new subscriber!
Can I build something like this using blue foam??? Please sir answer
Awesome! How do you get the cracks, breaks and chips in the foam pieces? is that in one of your videos?
Cheers!
Thanks, it’s all tearing a breaking and re flying, I have 2 short videos regarding making a miniature sidewalk but I’m working on a new on soon that will be longer and edited better, so stick around for that otherwise check out the other 2
I'm new to dioramas and painting in general; what was in the large cup you poured first when starting the washes? It looked like watery black paint?
That’s exactly what it was, just water I rinse my brushes off with, it’s accumulated paint in water, works great for weathering
I'm curious what you use to seal your dioramas with? I was using Minwax 33060000 matte for a little while, but I noticed if I needed to go back and touch something else, the color or touchup was really pronounced and different once I sprayed the clear coat over it. I know some people just use mod podge matte, but even that still has a shine to it.
I use rust oleum SPRAY “clear matte” for most large items, sometimes I use mod podge and other things for specific needs though but this wall and walkway was done using that spray, it won’t hurt the foam as long as your paint layers are multiple and even
@@OilersWorkshop Thank you for the reply! One more question pertaining to sealing. Do you usually seal your larger projects or is it mostly smaller ones that you seal? I have a giant TMNT sewer lair that I finished, but am reluctant to use that much spray on it lol
I noticed you use some gloss paints is there a reason for that?
Which ones are you referring to?
on the 1st 2 minutes of this video, i got dizzy! bro it would be better if you did a B role while you are narrating. anyway, your finished is cool. thanks for sharing
My bad
@@OilersWorkshop its ok. new subscriber here. :)
Just watched this one real like the stacking or build up on color washes. And use of different brush strokes. Thanks 😊
Thank you!
