This dude deserves more likes, thanks btw.. This helps a lot.
FANTASTIC to see you Joey!!! A great how to as always! Thanks
Joey, those look incredible. I’ve done something similar for a rock cut, but hadn’t thought to carve stacked stones into it. Mind is wandering to all sorts of possibilities now - Thanks for sharing! -John
Great how-to Joey, thanks for sharing!! - Brian
Absolutely great presentation. I need a custom wall configuration, and this will be what I do... Thanks for the fantastic tip!
Excellent, demo the 3 examples, of shading, were spot on.Thanks, & keep it coming.
They sure do look great.
Just what I've been looking for.
Looks simple and effective, most realistic and superb close ups...have to make a try!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! Well done!!
Thanks for sharing! That is just awesome! Love your creativity and your sense of humor!!! Cheers and peace out!
That second one you did looks so
close to the piers on an old Pennsy
bridge close to me, but one side of
the pier is built to a point so it sheds
ice from the river plus debris from
flooding, great tips Joey!!
Great video, thank you! This solves my dilemma of creating about 30' of stone wall for my o scale layout without breaking the bank buying already made products which were not exactly what I wanted anyway. I will start this project right away.
This is a great plus for me. I'm doing a landscape design and spent at least an hour at Michael's looking at the possibilities with their foam blocks; painting and colors are my weakness.
This is perfect! I want to make a tomb for my figures to explore but didn't know where to start with the stone walls. Thanks so much!
Amazing work! Looks really nice.
Excellent. Great tips thanks.
I have wanted to start a layout, but being basically "cheap" I don't want to pay the hobby shop price. Learning there is a cheap way to do scenery motivates me. I could use that technique to do a retaining wall.
Sir, you are an artist. When done that foam looked like real stone. Thanks for sharing your techniques.
Very good work, but the music was killing me
Very nice, thanks for sharing!
Great job on those piers!! Thanks for the tips
Cool music 🎶🎶🎶👍
Thank you for these videos that show an average Joe a way to create cool stuff for their layout and on the cheap. I was thinking how to do a realistic brick road and I think this is the ticket. 👍👍
I'm just an average Joey {y} anyway.
thank you for your detail video
Even in O scale, I’ve never had any luck using a soldering iron. I just stick with a sharp pencil. Instead of a rock casting, I use a ball of crumpled-up aluminum foil for the texture on the stones. I feel adding the texture is a critical part of the process. Nice work, Joey, and thanks for the video!
You can also use a stone or rock that you find outside for texture. It really is up to you. There is no wrong way to do it. You just want to be happy with your results in the end.
Exactly. In O gauge, or 1/48 scale a 1mm line is 2 inches in real life. That's a grossly out of scale grout line in a stone wall - maybe OK in gaming scenery but not in a diorama of railroad layout. I've been modelling for over 50 years and used to be an architectural model maker but a partner in an aftermarket model company.
@@owenoulton9312 So says another rivet counter. Thanx for sharing what a big deal you are.
@@cva6238Get a grip " Special person"..
Looks awesome, thanks.
They are fantastic , looking forward in creating this in HO
Great video, thank you! I am thinking of getting into diorama building, and this was a great instructional video!
Great how-to!
Very Informative and Helpful !!!
Really like this video. Good work!
very interesting ... inspirational Thanks for sharing these detailing tips and tricks
Was looking for a stone wall for my tunnel and I found it!! thanks.
looks really good
Sure looks great!
Very cool!
Those are some great examples Joey of stone walls...😯 Really nice tutorial, loads of techniques & ideas 💡🙂👍 Will use some of that in future...
Nice job Joey
Enjoy video thanks very much.
Nice Thanks!
Great Video
Looks awesome
I really like your background sounds, they are relaxing.
Very nice technique
This is great information
Awesome
Nice work. Great satisfaction in building things with skill. Kudos.
Thank you . first time I see u and I like the way you voice over, it is clear and simple. Thanks.
the hot iron created what appears to be grout in the final.. I like this idea rather than knife cuts.. excellent video. Thank you for the share.

Thank you so much for the info 🎉 that was really helpful 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
I used the paint thinner and black for the wash, but it ate the foam. Will try the alcohol wash on my next trail. Great video. Going to make a stone engine house.
Nice work there.
Cool! Stéph.
Nice video...Well done...
Great tip lke always...greetings from the spring-weather in Ulm....Fog of course!
I wish this type of foam wasn't so expensive here in my area.
Great Idea. Going to have to go and do some hunting at some building sites.
You make this look easy, which means it's not easy. LOL
For N Scale I am using Floral Foam. Although it is delicate, it's finer material reduces the furriness of the blocks. Once scored with the block pattern I paint on a couple layers of tinned Plaster of Paris before painting. --dunc
Extremely neat idea. Tnanks. Just have to remember when it comes time to use them. Crack on!
Another O scaler I see! These look great!
Hang around a bit...he'll be in Z Scale next month...😆
Nice job Joey. Have you ever tried the technique where you score the material with a knife and then wash it quickly with a solvent that melts the scores? Then neutralize and paint. I helped a friend do that on a display G scale layout in FL many years ago. Anyway, I enjoy your videos Thanks.
Nice 👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌
Fantastic video. Ive been searching for a stone wall painting step by step video for months. I wonder if the modge podge is necessary if ones stonework is made from air dry clay?
Nice
What a great way to make your own tunnel/bridge abutments l am wanting to make a bridge next to a double track tunnel now I have seen your video l am going to have a go l have got some celatex to use up was it a soldering iron you used to create the brick work once again great and a great way to use things that we already have
Best wishes

Nice video Joey,
What can be safely used to waterproof the foam and paint from washing away or running? I was thinking of using this outside when I do my "G" scale layout and also for my "O" scale, which I might set something up to run outdoors in nice weather.
Thanks,
Frank M.
This is well done! Have you ever tried starting black, and dry brushing various colours getting lighter, ending off with white?
I will try right away your technic, to support an atlas HO bridge
Jesso would work also. It’s a great sealer.
This type of method was developed after the 1980 when the insulating styrofoam became more available. We have the white styrene ball type of Styrofoam that we didn't have this solid core stuff yet. I used the white for the mountains in for detailing I use the more dense insulation board. Go way back we used to use black cardboard insulation cellutech we'd lay the track on table top thet wood dead in the sound make the plywood not sound like a drum.
Looks great but can it be damaged easily??
Joey, what blade is that in your chop saw?
Nov. 7, 2021---Thanks for the video, even though I've seen others doing the same, but without the soldering iron. Now I'll be the first to admit that I'm a lazy sob and it just occurred to me, could you make a 2 part silicone mold of what you just made? Then cast additional copies in plaster of paris? Imagine if you had several silicone abutments, but in different sizes. Possible even make some so the interlock?
It's relaxing because of the fumes your inhaling lol
breath in, breath out. wax on, wax off.
Very informative.....................Why was he painting his arm.
One question I have can you lay track on gater board for diarama or a small layout?
Is very much awesome 🤩 but how do you put on the wall ?? Do you have any tutorial for that? Can you do that in a real wall please? Thanks 🙏🏼
Oh man those are great, im gonna have to try that, in N scale gonna be tougher.
I make my brick walls this way, in n-scale. But only need a sharp pencil
@@allenbarnes7202 thanks for the confidence booster, definitely gonna give it a go now, heck won't cost me nothing if I screw it up.
How long do you think this will last outside day in and day out
Muy bueno como se llama ese material???
This looks great. I like the idea of using a soldering iron. I'm going to do that with my next build.
What is "dry chalk" and how did you apply it? Looks very good on that third wall.
Dry chalk I use is just ground up artist chalk and then applied with a brush either dry or diluted in water or alcohol.
Your a master! How much formal artistic training have you had?
*you’re
They look great. Did you go back after and make some if the grooves deeper and more uneven for the final photos. It appears that to me
HI Steve, no, the grooves probably look deeper from the black wash as it would cause that contrast.
Hi, what XPS are You use, XPS 300, XPS 500 or XPS 700?
👍👍😀😀👍👍
a rougher, more randomly weathered texture on the stone can be achieved by misting spray paint on to the surface of the foam after you have shaped and carved it. the more spray paint(other solvents can also be misted on to the surface), the more the paint will eat into the foam and change the texture of the surface. practice is needed to determine the amount of paint or solvent needed to get the desired effect.

Neat! I usually just use a wire brush and sand paper.
How can I make a curved stone railway bridge with the foam?
It's so easy even a caveman can do it!
Lol..i remember them commercials
Ya make it look so easy, I think you have me convinced to try this... I saw a gray foam from U.K. which appears to be a much better quality. IS this green foam like Home Depot/Lowe's in the U.S?? ((Subb'ed and full Bell'ed, looking fwd to more!))
Yep, box store green stuff. I get them in 4x8 sheets
Is the 6 x 6 inch square 1 inch in thickness or 2 inches?
2" thick approx. Cut down from a large 4x8' sheet
Subtítulos en español por favor.
I saw a technique where a modeler rolled crumpled-tin-foil over the foam to give the face a more rough-hewn look, then proceeded with painting and washing. Thoughts?
He mentions that at 9:49
Qué material es ese???
why did you start by painting the whole think black and then painting over the black with yur colors?
What do you mean by "dry chalk" on that 3rd piece?
Just dry ground chalk, see many of our other videos where we use chalks extensively.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what to seal it with if I were to keep something like this outside?
You could probably seal it with something like Krylon Matte Clear. That might work.
@@tracksidescenery thank you!
"It's realistic!!!"
Where's the plaster?
Lotta work for small results, still it is too cool
