Turn FOAM into CONCRETE for TOY PHOTOGRAPHY

I love building dioramas. I'm not the best at it, but I'm more than happy with what I can create. This video is a walkthrough from the pink foam to the final product. Cutting, damaging, and painting.
For the main building and base, I used the insulation foam they sell at a hardware store.
Let me know if you have any questions about my process and if it was easy to follow.

    Got a quick question mate if that's ok . As a rule how high and wide do you make archways for black series figures. I kinda drew around a figure and the arch looks way too big 😳 Thanks mate 😊

    @@paulbell9957 I would say it can be whatever size you want them to be. If you mean like a normal doorway, I wouldn’t do bigger than 7inches tall and 3inches wide. But I have done some bigger archways just for creative structures. Sorry if that doesn’t help much 😅

    Epic mate. Random I know but what's the bracelet for? I'm guessing it's a static bracelet but I had to ask haha. I wish this xps foam was easily obtained in the UK.

    @amusingking nah sadly not fella! U can get it if u bulk buy but thats a hell of a lot of foam I'd have to store for something I'm not even sure I'd wanna keep doing haha
