I think I preferred it before before adding the spackle.

Yeah, idk maybe it’s a regional thing but it’s really common in the U.K. to have old stone walls with no sort of cement used whatsoever so it’s more natural to me to see it without

Black and grey loked the best to me , id have stopped there lol

Add some moss greens at the bottom of the walls to add to the aged effect.

Looks amazing, even if u stopped after the drybrush, i guess sometimes less is more

This is the type of content that should go viral, showing people how to go out and do something amazing!

Thank you so much, that means a lot!!

For a more historically accurate stone wall (especially castle walls). Large rectangular stones would be put on the bottom for a strong base. Then in the middle, longer flatter stones are used. And finally at the top the smaller stones are used because they are the lightest and won't collapse the entire wall from too much weight.

Huge constructions would use the heaviest on top to keep everything in place by gravity and weight. The same principal has been used with Gothic period chapels but with arch tension as well.

Happy 13th birthday.

I like using different size rocks to add rocky texture

Thanks for the idea.

This looks odly fun

my personal favorite rock texturing device is, a rock (north of the border fan)

Thats awesome

This is awesome

You did a great job and a great service to people by making this video. Very good.

This made me subscribe.

This technique always turns out looking so good. Great job! I recently saw someone use a lava rock in place of the aluminum foil. Can't wait to try it out myself.

Absolutely awesome mate...🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

To get rock texture you can also use a rock instead of foil if you want. Rock

Yes, Martina's (NerdForge) efforts of making and laying thousands of individual bricks is impressive, but this looks heaps better IMO.

Box joints instead of mitre joints would probably be better and stronger for connecting panels, and help keep the aesthetic continuity more in line with the original stone construction method.

Dude!!! Thanks for the idea. Heavy inspiration!! I wanna do this and then draw a graffiti piece on the wall

Awesome.

It looked good until you added that white stuff. It might be different in the UK to everywhere else but you usually only use sand coloured mortar for pointing if the brick or stone is sandstone.

You are nuts! This is a great technique thanx 4 sharing.

Dude this is awesome and looks great!

Works better with a fine tipped ballpoint pen. One step 😁

This is how they made rocks back in the middle ages, aluminum foil really changed the game

Master level!

gotta dapple off the excess tan wash

I do the same thing he does except for instead of using a pencil I use a blow dryer to shrink and expand the joints

Good stuff

You wipe off the "excess," not the "access." [And, yes, I'm always like this.] Great job, by the way! Stay awesome!

Beautiful! 👏👏👏

I think the spackle idea is a good one but I'd say just mixing some grey paint into it too tint it would give you a decent look without having to paint it tan afterwards.

When you're REALLY into D&D. Just kidding. That's a cool artistic skill.

That's some snazzy styrofoam. Nice job

The black cracks add a lot more depth to the wall than spackle.

It looked perfect after paint layer two, damn

Looks beautiful

Awesome 👍 although, I didn't care for the tan wash. Everything was awesome

My dad did this on large scale. Almost started a business with it. He would brush on concrete over top to get the texturing.

You could even take some and build them out. That would be a cool effect to.

That's exactly how Machu Pichu was made. It's all foam.

That's increcible!

If you hit it with a heat gun the gaps will open and you get texture

Why the grey dry brushing and the cover with the spackle? Doesn't that negate the dry brush coat?

Awesome

You truly a have great capacity to visualize how the end result will look!

Thank you very much! I can’t take all the credit though, I always make sure to work from reference images :)

You're triggering my PTSD I cannot tell you how many hours of Stonewall I have made on pink foam

We do the same thing in the haunted house industry but on a larger scale

You should make a Chaco canyon model

If you just ad the texture with the knife and then go over it lightly with a heat gun it will bring out the details better with a pencil. Great work though

Here's some real stone work tips that are the reason walls remain strong : Except corners and openings, a stone should never be taller than it is wide. A stone should always cover the join below by at least as wide as your hand. Avoid long vertical mortar lines.

This is amazing, but my new home just floated away in the recent flooding.

What you plan on doing with those?

Literally making walls last night..no way do mine look as good as yours

What are we doing this for?

After carving just hit it with a heat gun to separate the “bricks” more! (Faster)

Can you show a process with cardboard? I dont get mych styrfoam anymore

I wish I was this …. artistic? Creative? I don’t know what you’d call it, but I could be locked in a room with all these tools for a year and never come up with something like this. Very cool

And now I want a house built from shimmery, light pink stones. It's so pretty 😅

I always end up painting my stones, but I always love the look of the textured pink stones!

Artistic talent videos on KZread typically just condense dozens or hundreds of hours of tedious work into an impressive video. That shit does not really impress me. There are lots of good artists out there and if they spend a lot of time on a piece it will probably look good. What you did here impresses me. It's quick-ish. Insanely effective. Probably anybody can do it and it looks like you have perfected it. This is awesome work!!

Awesome, bit it's a bit too yellow for my liking.

You realize your dry brush was removed? When you applied all that stuff on top 😂

use black mod podge to make the foam stronger.

this is a special type of styrofoam

So fucking creative👌

Dont add any sparkle. Look awesome when you added that white stuff to it.

What kind of styrofoam is this?

Oh, that's a whole lot easier if you just use a graphic roller...

If you want to make money use aquaruim safe products and make it for terrariums. Perhaps add some led lights in the window and you'll sell it to alot of reptile keepers.

Yoink! Thank you tho.

Very cool. But I do NOT have that kind of patience.

More magic

Good job

I am not sure why you would go to all of the trouble of cutting the walls and enlarging the gaps to make the stones then to just fill in those gaps with spackle. It doesn't make sense to me I'm afraid. Also, instead of using just black paint for your basecoat, I would use ModPodge mixed with black paint. This will give the same colour but make it very hard and durable.

Thanks for the feedback! Spackle acts as the mortar that holds the stones together. Check out stone walls from Dinan France which was my inspiration if you’re interested. Also great tip with the mod podge

I had to condense footage from my full video and didn’t have enough time to show everything in one minute, the related video linked in this short shows the final result

Man that "tan wash" just made this look so hyper unrealistic. Thats the most yellow ive ever seen on a stone wall. Like if the stones were made of pure sulfer or dunked in a pool of yellow paint.

Thats not sryrofoam that looks like a type of xps foam. Styrofoam bounces back and doesnt keep the form as well as xps

The yellow messed it up, the recessed cracks will be dark.

Cool craft paint sux

Totally drew a goober at the end
