completing the rock face
Once the plaster castings have dried, you can then start to fill in the gaps / exposed polystyrene.
There are plenty of videos on Youtube that would show you how to do this in detail, but the steps are pretty simple….
- add wet plaster
- blend into the rock face
- hit/sculpt with a tool
- scratch with a wire brush
- press in some slate shingles to give texture
- stipple with a brush
To avoid annoying balls of plaster forming and being left behind, keep just brushing off with a soft brush. This also helps take away any sharpe edges that may have formed.
And eventually you will end up with something like this.
- the top of the rock face is created in the exact same way but gives it a more jaggedy appearence rather than a flat top.
- The polystyrene in the photo will be a slope to either simulate a previous rock slide or be made into a foresty copse on the slopes of the mountain. (or a combination of the two)
