Hey! You’re welcome

Good use of the bubble foam. People keep giving me this stuff and I never know what to do with it all. Thanks.

@@OilersWorkshop it always seemed like such a hassle to cover up the bubble texture. I hav used it as filler but not much beyond that. I will have to try hitting it with the heat gun.

One cool material I discovered for covering up the bubble texture is iron oxide powder. It's extremely fine, but works really well especially if you goal is to make your terrain magnetic. I'm going to try making some rock spires like you did but use the oxide instead of sand.

That sounds amazing, thank you for the tip, I think I have a bag of that laying around that I used to make rust once

So my only suggestion would be to add paint to the modgepodge, because of the sand flakes off over time you won't see the white Styrofoam underneath.

I haven’t painted the sand yet, this all gets painted, but that’s an excellent suggestion

I do reckon this will work fine, does the mage podge always look that way with sand?

Yeah but it’s not painted, so you still need to paint it

Awesome stuff. There a chance to see something akin to Hoth base or a Hoth cave?

Will spray paint cause the Styrofoam to melt ...I'm asking before I try and I think I've run into this in the past

So if you coat the foam with 1 or 2 layers of glue(mod podge) THEN ad a layer of sand, you should be safe to add thin coats of spray paint. OR you can do the coast of glue and sand and then HAND paint with acrylic paint a dense bottom layer first, THEN spray thin layers of spray paint. All I’m explaining is just that you need to coat the foam in a barrier first(glue or acrylic paint work fine in this instance)

Speaking of that, many years ago I "helped" my son build a diorama of the Alamo, and lightly dusted the bare (didn't know better at the time) Styrofoam pieces with spray paint (lightly, not a heavy coat) and it melted just enough to give it a really cool worn and crumbled look.
