Step 1: Hot glue

Rocks hot glued to the baseRocks hot glued to the base

With speed a key element for this project I decided to break out the good old trusty hot glue gun.

A few good blobs of hot glue seemed enough to create a reasonable bond, though a few slightly crumbly pieces I’d made with some left over plaster really struggled.

Step 2: Filler

Next up was adding a good coat of filler, this added some quick texture to the bases and also hid any gaps between the rocks and the base.

I was rough and messy with this stage, the key being to create random rough surfaces.

For application I used wooden tongue depressor (lolly stick), the round end worked well but as a quick tip I cut the other end to 45 degrees for some finer control.

I then left these over night to dry.
