Making stone walls, pillars and platfoms using Styrofoam

Hi!  :)

For most of my layouts I´ve been either buying ready-made walls and platforms, or been engraving in plaster on a wooden plate.
Now however, I´ve gone over to making all engraving in Styrofoam, finishing with a layer of plaster and then Acrylic paint.

The colours can be varied to fit whatever scenario you´re going for, but the process stays more or less the same.

Nice video.  I plan to use this technique when I get to some retaining walls.

Cool video! I liked the hot wire cutter he had mounted on the bench, I think it is probably time to get on myself.
