I can’t believe this video doesn’t have more likes and views. This is more realistic and beautiful than 99% of the vids on KZread. Most look like a bunch of foam pieces of similar size stacked in unnatural fashion. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing! I never thought of styro foam for the base so will now shop for that. THANK YOU for the inspiration!

This is the best video that I have seen so far. True to the meaning of "minimum costs". Thanks to Johns miniatures. Lovely work.

Very nice I had been using the same tachnic for my modell railroad and for my rock crawler. This technic results not only a realistic rock face but also a light diorama that is very important too! Thank!

Wow, very realistic! can't wait to see your next big animated model!

Thanks for the great ideas! This is the most realistic option I've seen. It's amazing that you share them with us. Thanks!

I have seen something similar, I can imagine getting a wire brush involved might be useful! Can't wait to see you next diorama!

So glad I found your video. This looks really great! Thank you for your tutorial

What's the name of the foam filler that you used?

Brilliant 👍👍

Nice Work!

I have a model of a small attraction built in Cleethorpes but sadly it was completely destroyed by rain and wind after someone left it outside. I would love to fix it up properly

Muito bonito. Parabéns e obrigado por compartilhar. Brasil.

Beautiful

I have seen several similar tutorials, but none with this fine of detail. I am hoping to use this technique to make a reptile hide.

What filler do you use ?

Good job!

Wow, can you give details please on the type of foam you use as well as the plaster that you're using. Also what type of paint are you using. Thanks so much

Nice John!

Could you get these results with expanding spray foam? I’m planning on trying this to keep the weight down on my 3D seascape work. Thanks in advance …

John do you know of a UK supplier of the foam you use please? great vids.

fad tips shared liked loved !

I would just like to repeat all the great comments below.

Bravo 👏👏👏

Awesome

Could you please list of all the colors that you used step by step?

Great way to do these,do you let the washes dry between coats?

No need to let them dry fully, as the plaster soaks up the surface moisture

What type of foam is this

What is the filler, plaster?

What are the chances hahaha. I am making a model Coaster for a hobby project for collage at the moment and was going to theme it with Rocky Spires and Buttes similar to big thunder mountain at Disneyland. I can actually say that the Greatest and most influential designer in the amusement industry and the planet has helped me with a hobby project for an extra half an A Level In my EPQ. This is why you are the greatest designer and a personal hero of mine. Keep up the Amazing work and enjoy your "retirement" until another project arises. You've inspired me to fall in love with the amusement industry from as far back as I can Physically remember visiting Alton towers and asking to go as a Christmas and birthday present every year. Thanks John you truly are a Legend.

How do you paint the foam?

What kind did filler do you cover the surface with?

Haven't tried it but a very loose plaster mix just might do the trick. I'm going to try that...

this is so helpful for my planned diorama. may i ask the filler brand or what it is called?

What are washers? I can’t find them anywhere and I want to nail my rock paint!

What is the name of this lump material? please~

30-50mm is the easiest to find and most common. I’m not sure where you find big chunks like this But you can glue several layers of 50mm foam and build it up as high as you need. Just use wood glue and large toothpicks to lock the layers together ready for carving. Look for local builders merchants you just need XPS foam, they always sell it a lot cheaper than online hobby stores .

Sweet movie nice

What's the name for you made a landscape model?

Hi John as the model is in the garage the cold weather has stoped me working on it. I’ve built a large extension so when weather improves I can crack on. I’ll have you over for a running session. Best wishes.
