SO realistic looking! I really loved this!
Thank you so much!
As someone who has been using foam to make miniature cobblestone for years, I am highly impressed! Your results are amazing
Very realistic and again something us regular citizens can do lol. Thank you for another good video!
Good morning everyone!
This is the video I've been looking for. Nothing else has hit the mark for the combination of visual appeal, ability to replicate, and lightweight. Really appreciate this one.
That’s a great set of techniques! Thanks Derek!
I've done these before! Pretty much same technique featured here. Always love the projects that look fantastic and are super easy to do, haha.
One piece of advice I was given on this kind of project was to paint the odd stone here and there a slightly different base colour before adding all the weathering and other effects. Breaking up the uniformity helps sell the effect that the wall is, well, cobbled together out of random stones.
I am building out my basement and I wanted to create a small wine cellar with stone walls. I now know how I am going to afford it. I just have to keep a secret until I'm finished.
Did you do it?? If so, did you end up just putting the rocks on the wall, or a backing first??
Wooooooowwww!!! amazing!! ... i found many ideas here in your channel for my product...... love from Thailand
.
fc already
สู้ๆ เด้อ!!
ขอบคุณครับ
Looks fantastic as usual.
That looks amazing, Derek. Makes me want to build a new mausoleum facade.
That looks amazing! Thanks so much.
Lots of great ideas. Thank you
WOW, the result looks - as always - AMAZING! I think I will use this technique to make a small base for the graveyard fence for my Halloween haunt
I absolutely love this, I just may try this for a set piece I'll be working on next month
Looks amazing!
I've been looking for an approach to bring some texture to my house. This and your brick wall video are giving me some awesome ideas. Thank you!!
Everytime you go on vacation, I end up with another project to make.
🤣
Awesome, you make it look easy
Came out great. Really love your videos. 😎👍
Great demo Derek 🤙🏻
Yay! No laser cutters or 3D printed parts.😊
Sometimes I go old school 🤣
Love this, I’m sure it’ll translate to making miniature-scale stones - as well!
Thank-You!!!
You bet!
definitely better looking than the faux stone walls you can buy in a DIY Store. Impressive result
pretty nice idea for project
What a great tutorial...thank-you! Now to figure out where to source large sheets of thick cardboard...trying to plan how best to "build" old world garden walls for an event with a low budget. Likely will use reclaimed wooden pallets as free-standing walls as support for the lower walls, now to tackle ways to form/frame up the arched sections...
You got this!
What we Scots call a dry-stane wall. Looks labour intensive, but would make a great project for a haunt. You could create a non linear division between panels so that several would blend together seamlessly.
Very very cool!
That looks incredible! Very realistic. Unless someone walked up and touched it, you would never know it was foam.
Unfortunately when it comes to the price, after pricing out some foam, I am not sure anymore that making the wall out of foam is much cheaper than busting up some rocks. Even rocks are stupidly priced. Where I am from, people have even started trying to sell those big piles of rocks that farmers used to pile off to the side of their field and were grateful to anyone who would come along and take them for free.
What a world we live in now.....
Thanks for sharing this awesome tutorial though. I am sure that if nothing else, this stone looking wall is a LOT lighter than real stones LOL.
wow I am soo impressed. I needed to make a stone wall for church. I am not sure I can pull this off but I am going to try
You can do it!
Bravo!
I just LOVE the videos you put out.
Thank you so much!
That looks awesome and would work full scale or miniature!!
really outstanding work man...i'm building a scale model of a stone house for a film and this is gonna help a lot!
amazing! I love it👏
Thank you! 😊
Thanks to you and your all too good ideas, my entire summer is about to be spent making thousands of cobble stones for my 12 cemetery pillars! This looks so much better and than the way I was planning on making mine that I know I’ll regret it if I don’t do it this way 🥲
another foam glue that works well is Insulation in a can. Get the one with the gray tube as it lasts longer sitting around.
very nice
Damn it Derek!!
Imagining a wall that’s built by a stonecutter (and not found stones) I think having an occasional harder line like the hot wire left behind would be accurate, as larger rocks would definitely be broken to fit as needed during the building of a wall. A bit of smoothing to show weathering over time would be needed, but I’m thinking some straighter lines here and there for a nice sharp shadow could be nice!
Awesome work and information.😊
Thanks a lot 😊
Great idea thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
awesome ty
Thanks for watching!
Nice job! If we didn't an abundance of rocks here this might be sth for me.. ;)
Cheers from Sweden
Haha!
EXCELLENT!! Beautiful work as always-(from Cemetery Haunts) this is just my other account. You always really impress me with your prop work. True artist you are!!
Thank you!!
Bro your a bad ass, saved me big time🤟
Happy to hear it!
tres bonne idee et jolie
I would make a change. After you paint the stones..I would take a small brush and paint he spaces/ grout a different color to make them pop out. A darker color perhaps.
Great idea
I have subscribed to this channel multiple times - NEVER unsubbed - and yt keeps dumping me. I just had to sub again. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why.
Weird. Thanks for the continued subscribing
Well my contractor over ordered powder thin set a couple years about and i have stored it inside so it should still be good.
Nice
Thanks
👌👌👌
This is more or less what I had been planning to do for my cemetery pillars. The part that I'm trying to work out is how to handle the corners. The stones should be wrapping around the corners, and my first thought was to try and use two pieces of 1" Foam glued together at a 90 degree angle, but I'm worried about the seam being obvious.
That’s how I’d do it. You just have to blend the seam and fill it with paintable caulk before hard coating.
Have you ever seen those shelves that are made to fit into a corner, where they alternate a small shelf to each side? I wonder if you made something like that but in reverse? Alternating bricks pointing left and right?
I wonder if instead of tile mortar use concrete if it will give it the same effect or if it’ll give it more durability
Potentially, but the weak point would still be the foam.
You might not be into it, but I’m hoping at some point you start creating some videos on making tiki stuff.
It could be fun
do you have any suggestion on how to obtain a "rock face" sort of finish? im doing a similar project, and i want to make the foam look like its a stone that the edges have been chipped away at with a chisel. using a wire brush is working for the majority of the shapes, but im having a hard time trying to figure out how to make the crisp edges that stones have when theyre chipped away at. thanks for any help you can provide!
A hot knife tool would be my goto.
Very niiiice! Love faux recreation videos. How hard does this coating make the foam and what would you say the overall weight of this specific project weighs? Thanks for sharing.
It’s relatively durable. Similar to monster mud or drylok.This small sample weighs next to nothing but I could see it getting heavier if you were applying it to a sheet of plywood that was a much larger size.
Awesome. How to install on interior walls?
Depends on whether you're looking for a permanent or temporary solution.
QUESTION>>>> I've designed a 12' in diameter hobbit type tree for the outside entrance to my new enchanted forest cottage I'm building this April in the woods however my question is "what would be the best way to protect the foam and cement outer structure for long Gevity and wear and of course climates all 4 seasons are in effect throughout the year. my thought is marine paint but I wanted to ask you first
I’d probably stucco it if it’ll need to survive all four seasons.
would you use a thompson seal under and or over the stucco ???@@VanOaksProps
Great stones, but what do you use for mortar?
Thanks! All materials used are listed in the video description.
Would epoxy resin melt this foam when used as an ocean/lake diorama? Thanks
I don’t believe so.
Where do you get the foam board? Is it just craft board...I love this and want to do it on a majority of walls in varying g colors in my home...
The insulation dept. at Home Depot/Lowe’s.
Would spraying the mortar mix with a coat of acrylic Matte varnish before the wash paint keep it from reactivating?
Possibly. I’ve never tested it so I can’t say for certain.
First and foremost great video, secondly I've been looking for something like this for a little while. I want to do this to a very big wall but didn't want to buy a giant sheet and maybe get it to fit and then getting it in the house and everything. What would you suggest the best glue would be to make sure it permanently sticks to drywall? Second do you have a link to your video for what you used as a base?
If you’re gluing the foam directly to drywall you can use gorilla glue or construction adhesive. Both should get the job done.
@@VanOaksProps Thank you, one other quick question, would it be ok to use 1/2" foam. I don't want to add too much to the wall and I want it to look a bit more mortared
Absolutely.
