Thank you much! Yeah, they are not a "cheap" tool by any means. They are a game changer though.

Amazing build Brian. I have enjoyed this entire build Love your technique with the foam. I use gorilla glue construction adhesive for glueing foam. I also love to use a cheap spray mister and small torch - mist the foam and heat the foam with the torch careful not to go too hot and you will get a nice texture. The heat melts the foam and where the water is stays solid and doesn’t melt. Gives a good rock look. Also using a heat gun to heat the foam can smooth it out a bit after cutting. Wear a respirator in both instances. Also spray iso alcohol on your sand/rock/grout before glue/water mix and your glue will flow

Hey. wait, you said there was something for every maker in this project. I'm a maker and there was nothing in it for me.!.. No wait, the foam cutting on the base was just wat I wanted to see. Forget I said anything. The Lazer cutting was good too. Ok two things. But only two. Oh, the painting was really good. Three things, just three. ... the recessing was interesting too. ok just four things... ha.

Coz texture has various grades

@TheSmugglersRoom

7 ай бұрын

It's a great question. I wasn't entirely sure how much sand I would use in the end. So I decided to paint and highlight the molded area so that I had the option of being selective once I put the sand down. In the end it's certainly more work, and I added more sand then I originally planned, but it did give me options so it was a win.
