Sculptamold is actually sold in 1.36kg bag, this means it's slightly better value than stated in this video - Also, consider becoming a patreon if you enjoy my videos - www.patreon.com/TerrainMadeEasy
So last year when everyone was buying TP in bulk, it wasn't for going to the toilet. They just anticipated the lock-down and were getting a head start on a new hobby :D
Awesome video!
I mean what's more important, terrain or a clean back side. I think we all know the answer. Thanks.
@@TerrainMadeEasy Plus, you can always just wash the backside, you cannot just make smooth sculpting material out of thin air, can you now?
@@mikibabic8187 Aye a tap and your hand is multi purpose :P
I mix the plaster and add loo roll, but then use a cheap hand blender (£5 Asda) to purée it further. Only a few seconds is enough to make it quite a bit smoother and ensure it’s very thoroughly mixed. For general ground cover (ie no rocks), I mix toilet paper with water, then blend with a squirt of brown paint or some brown mortar tone/dye. When mixed with the plaster, this gives a good base colour that doesn’t need to be painted before you apply flock etc.
Great tips all 'round there - thanks!
This was outstanding work. I will definitely be trying your plaster mache in future projects
I swear I had replied, but youtube may have deleted my replies? Good luck
Very in-depth. Nicely done, Jay.
Thank you kindly! I am happy some people are interested in me going into detail on stuff like this :)
Great video man! Ive been needing cheap sculptamold stuff for a while, but im glad i can use toilet paper and plaster instead!
Would you consider doing a video compairing sculpting putty like Milliput, green stuff or blue stuff?
I swear I had replied, but youtube may have deleted my replies? I doubt I would compare the puttys, I don't have much use for them myself
Sculptamold needs a good mix up in the bag before you go to use it. A lot of the plaster ends up in the bottom of the bag, so I always add a bit more to it when I mix some up since I always have plaster on hand.
Yeah that's true, I was tempted to sppoon in some plaster for that reason myself
I do home-made using toilet paper which has been shredded in water, dried in an oven and then run through a second-hand food blender to shred it. I add plaster-of-Paris but I also add a little PVA or acrylic medium to make it smoother and stick easier. I've had good results.

The shredded paper is like the normal way of making it, I am skipping it purely for time but at a cost of quality, I do think pva or something is something I should try!
@@TerrainMadeEasy
My thinking is that the PVA will help it to adhere to a surface and also slightly harden it and resist chipping. Experience so far suggests that it may also act as a retarder and give you a little more working time to smooth out. It may help to smooth it out. I have bought some acrylic medium (as an alternative) but not tried it yet but - in theory - the medium should also work. I add about 5% PVA when mixing plaster and water. I have also used a little thin PVA in the smoothing process to dip my finger or spatula into. Spatula? I normally use an old stainless steel spoon. The curved side is good for shaping while the square end of the handle can be used to detail the material or poke it into small holes in the base material.

@@barryslemmings31 Worth trying for me :)
Might use dryer lint instead of toilet paper. Might be just as good
That could be great :)
Yo también uso yeso+papel higiénico +pegamento de carpintero y seca bastante rápido y quedan muy bien los trabajos!
No hablo español, así que uso el traductor de Google.
No pensé en agregar pegamento, podría intentarlo la próxima vez.
Gracias.
I recently purchased some of Geek Gaming Base Ready Flock.
I got Fields of New Zealand and Mediterranean Soil.
I found that Fields of New Zealand seem to have lots of dirt, but some bases that have enough green do look great.
The base ready stuff is great!
Very interesting. I've never tried the geekgaming one but planned on it when I ran out of sculptamold. I didn't know about those fine bits of colours in it.
I swear I had replied, but youtube may have deleted my replies? It's not a big issue to be fair
Thanks for the review of these products. It was very helpful.
Always my pleasure. Thanks.
Cheers great video. I like it when you save us money sterling work.
I swear I had replied, but youtube may have deleted my replies? My pleasure
@@TerrainMadeEasy Yeah you had replied. You Tube are have a bit of wobble. Perhaps someone has pinched all their bog roll :D Take care.
@@ftangftang4909 Yeah, I don't know why it would just remove only my comments! And you :)
@@TerrainMadeEasy If we over think this we could disappear in some sort of conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Unless this in some way affects your revenue don't worry. If it does affect it tell me what to do and I will complain to Utube or worse get my wife to do it. Take Care.
@@ftangftang4909 heh no doesn't affect me like that :) thanks
Glad for this!
My pleasure
take cheap gum adhesive , mix the toilet paper then add plaster and little water and voila best sculptamold
👍
Could you use the Luke's modeling compound with heavy diluted paint to make it brown/red/black?
Maybe but it would be so messy that I wouldn't suggest it
That's exactly how I make my diy compound. I found that method because I was to lazy to do replicate what I saw in some videos. 😂
Yeah I am lazy!
Interesting little video. Worth considering p&p too. Amazon stuff tends to gave cheaper postage, especially if Prime.
2 questions - is there a weight difference fir the drues products?
Do any reactivate when putting the wash on?
I swear I had replied, but youtube may have deleted my replies? I have no idea about weight after use, Ican't recal, and no reaction to my knowledge.
@@TerrainMadeEasy you have replied. A couple of people have mentioned vanishing comments from thier videos.
@@BrushQuill Ahh makes sense that it's not just youtube hating me! It bugs me as I reply to 99.9% of comments!
just checked amazon and sculpamold is a woping £25.99 reduced from £26.84
Question! How hard did the DIY dry?
I want it to be strong
semi dry in about 30 mins, fully dry might be like a day
Always like saving money
I swear I had replied, but youtube may have deleted my replies? Either way. Indeed :)
RUclips has been acting screwy to everyone, recently.
@@sw33n3yto00 Yeah it seems so.
👍👍👍👍
Thanks
why not just use blown in insulation instead of toilet paper? Buy one bag cheap and it will last a long time and it comes pre shredded
So it depends how much you want in your house and how much you will use it I think. I also think normal paper may not absorb the plaster mix as well as toilet paper but I haven't tried it. Maybe one day I will give it a bash :)
great) yes yes
Thanking you :)
