brilliant! i'm about to do this on my 1st foam diorama; was going to use joint compound for streets, then paint & weather. then wondered if i could just faux concrete right on the foam. and now i know i can! thanks guy
I liked your choice of colors to simulate the concrete finish. I used a different color pallet in my last video. Well done. I just subscribed to your channel. Cheers!
Insane! I dabble w/ different arts, and although I don’t need concrete, I do need a lighter product for my pieces. I’ve been hesitant to use foam, but now I’m going to give it a try!! Binging all videos now. 😊
GREAT JOB😃B, dude! SUPER REAL! As you mentioned, wanna be careful w/ applying pressure to the foam & figures may not be able to stay standing solid. So, Is there another material other than the foam to make the concrete look w/ colors? Like types of wood, plastic or metal?
I use woodland scenics Black pigments for a black wash- just a little blob plus water to thin, and you have a nice water based Black wash, you may need to go over it two or three times once the first coat is dry, or you may be happy with the first one, do it so your'e happy with it. If the first coat is too black, thin with more water directly onto the piece before it dries.
Just fount this video! Great, concise, clear tutorial...thank you for the lesson! One question...where did you purchase the super thin XPS? It's almost as hard to find as unicorn teeth.
Thank you! And I’m glad you like the video! Unfortunately, I don’t know where to buy sheets of thin foam. I only have 1-2” thick pieces where I’m from. I just cut the thickness down with my proxxon hot wire table. You could try looking at eBay, I’ve heard that some people sell thinner sheets that they cut down themselves! Not too sure about how clean and accurate they are though
I'm wanting to build small scale houses, as real as possible, complete with teeny pvc pipes in walls, tiny coated wire thru walls, real pieces of carpet on floors. then scale it up using "1 by " lumber🤔
all this is missing is old gum stuck all over and cigarette buds squished in-between the cracks edit: just saw you actually did add the black speckles like gum lol
Been doing miniatures for near 30 years and that is the best sidewalk tutorial I've ever seen.
The best looking concrete from foam I've seen!
Thank you so much!!
This is the most realistic concrete I've ever seen. WOW, WOW and WOW!!!
Fanastic result and I love how to-the-point you are. Someone else could have easily dragged this on for 20 minutes.
Thank you!! I’m glad you liked the video! Thanks again for watching!
Outstanding technique.

I created some pallet videos too, a while back, it was interesting to watch your take on it. Great job!

Great work. Would love to see a Jersey barrier-- a ubiquitous feature of the urban landscape.
Thank you!! I believe Auttorama has a tutorial for jersey barriers on his channel! Thanks for watching :)
@@smolworldworkshop Just found it. Thanks.
Amazing results! Where do you get xps foam in such thin sheets though?
Thank you for your reply...
Where did you get xps foam that thin?
cool. great job
Thank you!!
What did you use for the black wash?
Just use 5-10% paint to mineral spirits (orderless is best for hobby)
cool & easy. thanks ! cheers
Thanks for watching!!
Fantastic 💪🔝
Thanks 🔥
damn, definitely have to try this.
Hope you like the technique!
Love your videos...If possible, please help me to better understand the formula for making your black wash... Thank you...

Did you apply the Deck Tan without mod podge?
Yes I just used the paint, but you could seal it with mod podge to make it more rigid if you’d like to
Wow
What color specifically did you use.
The concrete color was deck tan by Vallejo!
👍👍👍
Like it
What's the name of the paint? "duck tan"? Where can you get it and who makes it? Cheers from UK
The color is called “deck tan” and it is make by a brand called “Vallejo”. I hope this helps!
@@smolworldworkshop Thank you for the reply! Will look into ordering some
Bonus points if you add Michael Scott’s face
Hope you could make asphalt video :(((
I’m not sure when, but I’ll probably come across an asphalt surface at some point!!

That sounds awesome!
dash of dollar store glitter..
Brilliantly simple! All you're missing is a wad of chewed up gum.
Thank you!!! And yes that’s a great idea! I’ll definitely add that next time :)
all this is missing is old gum stuck all over and cigarette buds squished in-between the cracks
edit: just saw you actually did add the black speckles like gum lol
Ooo the cigarettes buds would be a very nice detail!!! Thanks for watching :)
