I have wanted to start doing rocks out of foam for a while, but for some reason I can never get them looking right... so I have gotten scared to even do them... I build dioramas for photo shoots with my HO locomotives. All I want is to make foam look like rocks.
I see two ways to accomplish this. one: master carving foam to look like rocks, takes time and practice. or two: Woodland Scenics sells a rock mold that lets you cast realistic looking rocks from plaster that you can glue to a foam backdrop. (woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/item/C1231)
Thanks for the video. Also get a shopvac!
Awesome idea... I cleaned up my woodshop shop vac and I have moved it into my hobby space. This should cut down on the pesky pink flakes.

Great video, but that music is annoying. The repetitiveness of it will drive a person crazy.
