Rough Shapes
While the rock castings were drying, I cut rough shapes from 2 inch thick dense polystyrene.
To make as little mess as possible I was using a hot foam knife. Ive found actually (in the past) that keeping the initial shapes with straight lines where possible does make the following steps easier when adding in the pre-cast rocks and you can then cut /sand away as you need to create the final shape of the piece.
Interesting project. Anything in Epic scale always piques my interest. Are these going to be natural rock formations.
Evening. As Natural as I can make them! Im a few days ahead of where the project is, am just in the process of the first “test” washing in a watered down dark brown (much lighter when washed on) – Ive never been good at the leapard spotting approach – dont know why as its so simple but I never find the end results look particularly good when I do it.
