Dry stone wall, carved from polystyrene / styrofoam, created for the freeze festival in Greenwich, London. Made to resemble the wall on the 3 moonwalking pony advert.

This fascinates me to no end. For some reason seeing stone work and statuary made out of foam is really interesting. If I had any artistic talent, I'd do something like this.
Thanks for the comment Theo. Perhaps give it a go sometime, you might be surprised by what you can do, have a little experiment and play around with it :) Thanks for watching!
I like the work, you could probably take something like that, make a mold from it and do a more durable, fiberglass or concrete wall. Maybe produce sections that could be used for faux stone siding on a house.
What I've done for several people who had plain cinderblock walls or foundations is to paint them to look like stone. I've matched existing stone as well as just making them up from scratch maybe hiding a lizard or two somewhere. With the right shading looks perfectly 3D. i use mainly masking tape, sponges and many many colors of spray paint. One lady didn't like the look of the electrical boxes and conduit on the side of her brick house...I painted it all to match the brick and virtually disappear.
Nice to see professional quality work still exists
Really enjoyed watching and listing to this thanks
WOW... This is GREAT!!!
Thank you for sharing this video..
I am an Acting Director... and am getting ready to move back to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US) to RE-Open my Acting Studio... and instead of making my traditional SIGN... I have been thinking about Sculpturing it out of Styrofoam... making it more Dramatic... (pun) Drama.
I can't wait to see more of your videos...
Fantastic work...
HI ADEN. the work that you as a sculptor and your amazing team do is amazing. and your name will go down in the history books.thanks to you and your team for sharing.
absolutely fascinating - - just brilliant!!!
Wow, now I'm going to build me a life size styrofoam tyrannosaurus rex in my backyard. I've always wanted one.
I really like the background music. Superstition acoustic cover
Cool ! Now lets see you make a fake Polystyrene block sculpture out of a stone wall :-)
lol
Very Superstitious!! Carving on the wall...
Incredible! When I did a tour of Universal Studios in Hollywood (or I think it was more like Burbank) they told us a lot of stuff was made out of polystyrene - even building fronts...and I didn't believe them. Very talented people indeed
You have the best job in the world! xx
That looks pretty cool
good job guys
Thank you very much Penny!
So awesome to see how it changes. It's hard to believe how it started. Great job.
That'd be great for a Rock concert!! Really nicely done!!
cant tell you how many times ive watched this video for reference on a project im working on
This is an oldie! I sincerely hope you're taking a look at our more recent work as well 😋
@@AdenHynesSculptureStudios absolutely! the dragons have been great, as well as all the pieces done for the primary school. this is just the one most relevant to my current project!
This is soooooooooo absolutely cool. Thank you for posting and for your creativity.
Really enjoyed this video and what a fantastic job you guys did! Looks brilliant 👌
This is totally awesome had no idea anyone even did this kind of work.. I've made many of this in miniature for games and it's complex in the designing and the painting but in 4 inch squares lolol can't imagine this size wow so impressed!
These are great ideas for indoor house aesthetics
for kids
I love this. Would love to construct a two story old looking house. Looks like a great insulation.
Just amazing!! Great job!
Unbelievably amazing would love to try this out
Hello Aden... Can you please tell me about "flexible concrete render" that you used in coating foam?
Nice to watch your videos. Your videos inspire me to make princes castle in garden from polysterian. Obvious mane structure from timber and stell.
Wow! Amazing! 😁👍
Some amazing work! I work with fiberglass and your videos give some great ideas !
Incredible work, thank you for sharing this.
I love doing this type of work
Absolutely fantastico !
Glade to see great createure like you
*brilliant, you are a true artist *
WOW...that looks fantastic. I would love more information on the flexible cement rendering. Thank you for sharing!
surecrete has a few products that might fit the bill in the USA
@@vociferonheraldofthewinter2284 Thank you!
Wowwww mind blowing
Fantastic job guys and gals.
Brilliant work...🇿🇦
Nicely done! Looks realistic!
Back in 1988 I was the lead sculptor on a commercial. My job was to carve and paint three interior walls to look like flagstone. When I saw the commercial on tv, I was convinced that they reshot it in a real house. It looked incredible. Not that my talents were great, but the process was simple enough that I could pull it off. It’s really not that hard to do.
Sometimes the simple effects are the best! Thanks for watching John. I hope you still create now
One way to increase realism on a project like this is to alternate between different gray tones beween rocks which also helps further break up the pattern. But great job!
GREAT JOB!
very nice work,i shall try this
thats soooo cool....
That was awesome!
that's awesome! my compliments sir
AWESOME, WOW, WIZ BANG, SUPPER, 99.99 POINTS 99 POINTS BECAUSE IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHATS NEXT a fantastic idea for sure thanks
Beautiful
The front facade on the mega hotels in LAS Vegas NV are made just like this wall. All foam and stucco sprayed on it.
exceptional job. what type of spray paint are you using on the foam? ours just eats it away. i dont remember seeing a coating go on before the spray paint
Hi Darlene, take a look at 4:12 where it's being sprayed with a water based flexible concrete mix.
that looks totally brill! would love to do that as a 'walled in garden' wall - sadly i live on a ridge and constantly get 50+ kph gusts - would be afraid that even with reinforcing bars, it would end up in one of my pastures!
Beautiful!
Ain't no way. I would need someone with a vacuum cleaner beside me as i work with that foam.
It is beautiful though. I love it.
Very cool!
very impressive work
Fantastic!
Great job
absolute awesome. earned my sub!!!!
Thanks very much Monk! :D
Very nice work, maybe a better poly foam would have been the graphited version that already looks like a rock / concrete and present no white! It seems people in the UK don't know about this amazing product.
leokimvideo Haha well it needed to be a quick turn around job. In which it would have taken a few days to order new materials. Not only that, but any polystyrene we don't use is already in its white state. We would have had to paint this regardless. And if it was grey, it might have been easy to miss spots
leokimvideo do you have a link to that product?
That doesn't at all sound like an amazing product. Sounds like grey styrofoam to me. COnsidering they coated and painted it, it just reads like you're trying to advertise to me.
leokimvideo sure they know but its still expensive as fuck compared to the diy version
I don’t see how it could have turned out any better. You know they say, “do what you do well and stick with it“. I think it’s wonderful.
I do have one concern though. I know there are some pretty harsh fumes put out by the cutting of styrofoam, not to mention the painting. Please protect your lungs.
Really brilliant, as they say on Harry Potter. Lol. Hi from the USA.
Awesome good job..
We have very long dry stone walls in our garden and a lot of it is on a slope and needs fixing!
I'd love to swap them all for walls made by you!
That is amazing!
Brilliant
How water proof is it? How long would this last in the environment?
Good job!
عمل فني رائع يسلمو هل الايادي
Brilliant!
Amazing 👍😍
that:s totally rad )))
great stuff .... any tips for doing an old white cottage wall, I get the 3d effect using dark base coat but if i use a dark base coat it will look dirty and i want that whiter than white stone look... if I use a blue tint it will maybe look blue because there is a dark sky
**thank you** for these very useful tips, brilliant and **good job** 👍🏼
My dream job!
I think this is genius
props given for a professional job! I am an artist. I am also working on my house...I have poly sheets...Do you think that I would be able to accomplish this technique for use INSIDE the house?
very cool
This is amazing. The only question is with the light weight of the wall, how do you secure it to the ground against wind?
5:25 :D
Amazing i would love to build cave home with foam
Is this to function as a real wall or is it for filming on a set? How do you secure it to the ground? Can you cover a house in this material?
Amazing. Can you swing by this weekend and do the walls of my man cave to look just like that.
Hey Chris, depends where you're based :P
Gave it a thumbs up except for the green paint.
Great work! Would you recommend using polystyrene for miniature rocks? I used styrofoam when I was in college but its just really expensive and was wondering if polystyrene gave off the same effect when cut with a hot wire.
Hi Angus. Polystyrene and Styrofoam are the same things I believe. Styrofoam is the more American word for it
Ah I see, its just that polystyrene seems to be made up with small beads, whereas the blue styrofoam is solid.
It's all about the different densities of foam. Polystyrene or Styrofoam comes in many different densities. So for smaller models, just go for a higher density like you described
IAngus Lamont
Polystyrene is the name of the plastic. Styrofoam is foamed polystyrene.
''Superstition'' good tune
Exactly what product do you use for the spray-on concrete first-coat? Thanks for the video. I’ve looked at many. This is the first to do more than just add paint!
Hi Burt, the concrete we've used in this instance is called Dryvit :) thanks for watching!
hi is “flexible concrete render” the same as “acrylic render” which i believe is concrete with acrylic added? is that what makes the concrete flexible? thank you
Hi Robert. We use the term flexible, not as though you can bend and flex it. But it sort of naturally contracts and expands in the heat and cold. It's not plastic or actually bendy
Awesome, can you tell me the type of material was used for the stencil?
Hey Dash, it was a very, very thin fibreglass. We call it a "tissue paper" when we refer to it here at the studio. But it's not really paper. Just very thin glass fibre that you can track onto and through.
Decopierre (stonecoat) made from limestone powder can produce this at a rate of 20 mtrs a day on many surfaces. I can see the advantage of light weight ,
Good bro
Cheers mate
nice music Superstition
Wow!
what did something like that cost the client???
waw very good
Awesome work! Was wondering who did the rendition of superstitious.
good talent.
Where do you buy these large blocks? I'm looking to build a large sci-fi set.
Nice Job!!! What did you mean by a "flexible concrete render"? Is it actually flexible after curing?
HeritageStoneworks2 because its normally used on roof tops. To certain degree, it has a certain level of "give" and can contract and expand ever so slightly in heat and cold, to save on any cracking
So what kind of concrete does that? Is it a latex stucco or an actual concrete mix? I would like to find some
Actual concrete mix. We buy it in either a paintable or sprayable tub, already pre mixed. Water based and air drying. Lightweight considering we only go on with a couple of millimeters
Очень хорошо!!!!
does any company in the USA do similar work?
How does this product (styrofoam and paint) withstand the elements (sunlight, heat, UV, rain, etc.)? I'm in South Texas and we experience hot sunny Summers.
It's only designed to be set up for a couple of days. This wouldn't be suitable as a permanant outdoor feature. The water based paints for starters, as well as the light weight of the whole sculpture.
Ultra cool advice fire any project at 3:35 to 4:05.
I really want a faux stone wall for one wall of my home.. the average price is about $2500- $3,000. I can't help but think that the first company that comes up with a version of the faux stone panels made of dense foam -- is going to make a killing. This company seems like they could easily form a prototype and have it mass produced, as the only thing currently that is cheaper than faux stone -- is wall paper printed with stone lol!
What is that great tool you made to cut the foam??
Hey Jana, the tool we're using is a hand held hot wire. Handles at either end, and a control for the voltage running through the wire to control the heat and power :)
Total cost £18000,But a real dry stone wall would only cost around about £600...
john david Lol where did you get that price from?
Stone2D3D Then it seems we might be doing something rather efficiently that gives our clients a better price than other places perhaps :P We never discuss our prices publicly, each job and client is different, and we tailor for each circumstance. Keep guessing as you're a little way off ;) and thanks for watching :D
john david It' worth it if you have to move it more than 30x lol?
2Awesome Exactly. A real wall would presumably need to be built on site, and is difficult to move or transport in one piece. The polystyrene can be lifted by a couple of people in seconds. and moved multiple times once made. Also easily disposed of, rather than heavy stone pieces. (Also didn't cost £18,000 anyways ;)
Stone2D3D Good save ;) not quite 18k thought. It was requested more for health and safety and speed on site, not to damage the floor etc. We made this quite quickly too, so we were able to keep labour costs down.
What exact hot wire are you using? Its Kind of hard to find a good one. Great inspiring work!
SuperJayda1983 Hey Jayda, I actually made it myself years ago using a variable transformer (this allows you to increase and decrease the voltage at a turn of the wheel). It also has a little on off switch on one of the handle ends. Not sure where exactly you'd buy these outright. I think this was why I ended up making one myself. Thanks for watching :) Aden
this gave me an idea it's called stamping real concrete I'm going to be rich! lol!
