I can never find thick foam blocks, so I make my own. The thinner 4' x 8' sheets of this material can be found at the hardware store: Home Depot or Lowe's, etc.. in the home insulation section. Cut them with a blade into smaller sheets, spread elmers glue on them and stack them into a block. Weigh the stack down with something heavy, and then after a day or so, you'll have a nice foam block to carve. This can be done with the blue foam sheets at the hardware store as well, just remember to peel off any plastic sheeting that may be on them. Good luck! (laminate process)

There are some great techniques here, but there are a number of ways you can save money. 1) buy thinner foam and layer it to the basic shape. 2) the specialty glue is a waste of money. Use painters caulk, wood, or gorilla glue to join. You can use the lighter glue to hold the rubble. 3) use lower cost spray paint or if you have small compressor, thin down cheap acrylic paints from the craft stores. You don't need to spend so much money to get the same results.

Tesa is definitely not specialty glue. It is as common as old fashioned Elmer's. You can buy it everywhere here in Europe.

3M Spray Adhesive 77 from any Home Depot or Lowes is the quickest, best way to adhere to large sections together, creating an almost "welded" seam, and it will NEVER come apart. Simply spray both surfaces you want to join then touch them together for fit, then press for a permanent bond. For sealing the rock face and priming it for paint, use Elmer's white glue, or wood glue mixed 50/50 with water. Sand as needed, and reapply glue. This is necessary if you want to use any "spray can" paints on your foam form, or else the paint will melt your detail. This is why he uses the black mixture, fyi. Elmer's can also be used to stick the loose rocks into the canyon areas, for a lot less money than craft glue. I mix the rocks into the glue mix, stir them up, then apply them into the areas I want, then pepper them with dry rock bits over top. His use of pencil as a way to detail the bridge is wonderful.

You do raise a good point but we have to rember nature is never perfect not one rockface is the same some are more on the black side some are the other way on the light side . We're I live in New Zealand the sandstone is quite a yellow the limestone is more of a white and the grey wacky faces are a very dark almost black look to them his way of painting would suit grey wacky rocks very well

It helps to have a shop vac handy. It keeps the work area clean and saves the debris in a convenient place. Also, dry brushing (stippling) w/ acetone gives some cool textures. To bring in some other colors, you can use chalk here and there before painting.

Is that just plain Styrofoam, being used for the rocks? Because I had some white Styrofoam recently, but when i broke it apart tiny lightweight pieces went everywhere. I don't think I had the right kind, because it seems that variety woudn't do well for carving anything.

Yep, they're different materials. One, the plain styrofoam is used for packaging and the exuded styrofoam used here is manufactured for insulation. They say either blue or pink. I've tried blue, but it is a very dense material and I found it difficult to work with. I'm trying to find the pink. Maybe it is a bit softer?
