Thank you for your support! 🙂❤

Awesome - The old Dremel can do just about anything - of course, the pilots skill is a must - as seen in your barrels and all of your wonderful scenery. Love the rustic look. I think I was a cowboy in another life.

I've noticed a great like for the old West dioramas...I reckon there must be a lot of reincarnated cowboys lol. PS Rustic is the best way to go when building, it hides a multitude of errors. 😉

Absolutely fabulous.

They are so tiny! I need to try this method it looks easier and faster than making them from cardboard.

Thank you OBS, They sure are a lot easier than using cardboard! Plus you cant get them this small with cardboard.

Creative and cracking job, your berrels look superb and so real!

Thank you Gay! Do let me know how you got on with them, they can be a little fiddly to make, but they are a rewarding little build. 🙂

These look great and I will definitely be trying this when I need barrels. Super relaxing video as always! Thanks for the tip.

Thank you again! These barrels were a wonderful learning experience, as I'm now seeing that scale can be far smaller and still be finely detailed when using the right medium, and foam is a very forgiving medium to use for so many things.

I love your vids!

Thank you Denise! I hope you have fun making these little barrels 🙂

Hiya Mandy, I really like it, that you do not speed up your vids . And it is really nice that you show the things you make detailed and precise. I have the chance to see all steps. (I know, I can slow the speed but sometimes I can not slow videos from other persons enough to see the whole process.) What is the name of this heating thingy? Is it possible to use a dremel for it? I like your barrels:) And Mandy? Thanks for your really friendly and nice comment for me in the last video. Wish you a week that makes you lough sometimes! Best wishes Stubenmuckel 😊

Hey there Stubenmuckel, I'm very glad that you find my videos easy to watch, I do make these tutorials as a teaching aid so knowing that you find them useful is great news for me! And yes, I do think you could use a dremel tool for the holes but I would be thinking that you would probably need to make the holes before you sand the barrels (So you have something to hold onto) Because once theyre small and smooth that dremel will probably grab onto the surface of the foam and spin it between your fingers, and as you know, pressing into the foam will mark it, so you wont be able to hold it tightly. Play around with it and see how you go, but yes do try the dremel! I hope you have a terrific week and a good time testing out the dremel on the foam, please do let me know how you went with it, I'm very curious and too lazy to unpack my own dremel and test it myself lol. Warm Regards, Mandy 🙂

These look amazing.. I do have one question. Since the foam can take impressions well, how do you protect them from damage?

Ive seen in your videos your jars of stain/paint. What exactly is it that you are using? Is it actual stain or watered down paint? Also I have never used XPS foam and I'm so impressed with what you have made from the foam. I can't wait to try it! Just found your videos and I can't stop watching them!

Hi Nancy, in my first videos I used a stain that was created in a paint workshop, I ran out and was unable to get any more of it, so I started to create my own "stain" using watered down brown and black acrylic paints. It isn't as good as the actual stain, but it's water based and it looks pretty good, plus it's practically free! PS: Once you start to work with XPS foam, you'll be hooked. 😆 Happy crafting!

@@nancyclark1936 I would strongly suggest you cut yourself some small pieces and play with them, use a blade, a craft knife, hot wire, sandpaper and play with it and get a feel for the foam. Once you feel how strong, yet soft, hard yet delicate the foam is, you'll be able to know how to better work with it. Have fun! 😃

I don't doubt your skill or consider you accident prone, but when you were carving the barrels and using the woodburning tool on then, I feared for your fingers. This coming from a guy whose hands are a veritable museum of scars.

My secret is practising and making prototypes before I make videos, I used to hurt myself a lot more before I stared making tutorials, so I suppose practice makes me less accident prone. 🙂
