Looks super realistic!
I really like the way that your products look after their finished but I'm not sure if they would be sturdy enough for war gaming.
But if you guys think they are I would like to know because I believe your products have to be the most realistic on the market.
Hello Nate...Lots of wargamers use our products. They are lightweight, which makes them easily portable and yes...our products are very realistic. They will hold up, however many gamers tell us that they spray a solution of 4-parts Minwax Polycrylic to 1 part water several times over the landscape to seal it and make it more durable. Hope this helps! Happy Gaming!
The vertical scratches look like drawn with a ruler :>
When carving your rocks you can make the lines perfect like a ruler or any style you desire!
Looks like drill holes used for blasting...kinda cool even if that wasn’t the original idea
I saw shaper sheet for the first time at the model railway exhibition at the NEC and was impressed. I am using the model sheet for the mountain backdrop for my Swiss village village which goes in the window of our travel agency and the models are Lemax which gets impressive comments each year.
Very cool! Be sure to share photos with us when you're done.
Woodland Scenics to the rescue again!!! This is exactly what I need for my cliff faces!! Can I use a thicker mixture of Hydrocal? or does it need to be the carving plaster?
Hello, Joe! The Carving Plaster is a unique plaster with an extended application time and carves easily when dry. Hydrocal dries faster and is not as easy to carve.
Ok great thanks!!
Absolutely stunning!
Neat tricks, might invest in a Easy Rock Carving kit "Sho~Me~State" realism terrain!
More updated material i.e. videos please. I'm new to your products and actually am
into Carrera Slot Car Racing systems and not Trains.
I carve rocks too for my artificial bonsai...interesting
Excellent realism
Totally not a dog brush, haha.
Love your guys stuff though.
I would love to carve my rocks with carving plaster!
thx for the help, p.s. STRADDLE IT!!!! :)
I use foam board covered with drywall plaster. Once the plaster is completely dry and I have carved my rock formations do I need to seal the plaster before I apply the first coat of yellow ocher?
Thank you for watching our video! We have not tested our Earth Colors Liquid Pigments on drywall plaster, so we cannot guarantee similar results as to what you see in our videos. Our videos demonstrate the Pigments on our Plasters, such as Plaster Cloth, Lightweight Hydrocal, Shaper Sheet Plaster, etc. However, we do know the nature of drywall plaster and think it is possible that it could work. We recommend that you make a test sample and apply the Pigment to the drywall plaster directly-don’t seal it. Thank you again!
New to the scene here … is there a prior video detailing how to use the Shaper Sheet? Looks like you draped it over a small styro box?
Hello! We do have a Shaper Sheet How-To video on this channel. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/w17K730ezGA/v-deo.html
Cool... thanks for sharing and keep up the great work. ..
Very nice modeling.
👍
What was the dilution on the black pigment? Did you wash this over the entire surface or leopard spot? Video went a little fast at the pigmenting stage to tell exactly what you were doing but I really liked the grey addition to the Yellow and burnt umber.
We recommend 16 parts water for the Black Wash. You can see instructions for the Leopard Spot technique here: woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/Item/C1215/page/1
You can see a video for coloring the rocks here: ua-cam.com/video/3SfP4RpcDYw/v-deo.html
When the liquid pigment is dry and if i Want to use Real water in my landscape Will the pigment be washed of?
Jonas Geirsson Our products are not waterproof, so the pigments will not work with real water. Thanks for your interest, though!
Can pigment be added to the plaster during the mixing stage?
Yes, lightweight hydrocal can be tinted while mixed. Use any paint or dye that is water-based or can be mixed with water. After the plaster has been prepared, mix the coloring into the slurry. Be aware the color will not be crisp and bright like with painting. The color will be muted, earthy, and a little chalky-looking.
You can get all this kind of stuff at the local home depot.
Look good but many of my brush bristles fell out on first use
We're sorry about the brush bristles. Please contact Customer Service with any product issues by calling 1-573-346-5555 or visiting this link and sending an e-mail: securewoodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/information/ContactUs
Hey Guys. I only use your products. How long to wait until carving do you recommend. Fully cured or almost. Thanks and awesome Videos. The guy who did the waterfall was incredible. Check out Lex Parker's videos. Mad Skills !!!
+Grizzly Boxing BIG BEAR - We recommend allowing it to dry 24 hours before carving. Spray Carving Plaster with water while carving to soften surface and reduce plaster dust. Then let dry before coloring with Earth Colors™ Liquid Pigment. Hope this helps!
Excuse me where can I get all those materials?

make a video on how to make over hangs or cliff tunnels
+Kathy Kester Hello Kathy! Here is a link to one of our Scene-A-Rama videos. While the videos are geared more toward a school-aged viewer, the technique for building the cave can be applied to any project, layout type, game board, etc....You just need some sort of base and material for a backdrop. You then can build the skeletal of your land formation and cover with Plaster Cloth. You can apply the technique shown in the video to make overhangs, cliffs, tunnels or any other land formation. Hope this is helpful!
Hey WoodLand! I've completed plaster clothing my 4ft by 8 ft layout. So to put a base coat of paint, would it be ok if I just used a acrylic paint for the "dirt" in stead of earth pigments?
+Megaspartan Bloks Hello! You can use any paint you wish. It is all compatible with our Turfs, Foliage and other Landscape products. BUT...if you plan to use Realistic Water for any water feature, we would strongly recommend using the Earth Color Liquid Pigments to color the water area prior to pouring, or use a 100% Acrylic Paint (no vinyl fillers - most craft and interior house paints contain vinyl fillers), otherwise paints can have an adverse reaction to the Realistic Water. Thanks!
Nice video
I'll start by saying I love your products and have used this rock carving method multiple times. That being said the "stratatool" is low quality. I started using a brand new one out of the box today and it lasted less then 30 mins before it was completely ripped apart. I had to go out and buy a dog brush. I am all for your products but can you make the stratatool more sturdy so it can handle the workload. Thank you
We have passed your feedback on to Product Development. Thank you for your comments. We're glad you love our products!
can you make a video with a model from all nature.make a model with real rocks, real grass, real trees/twigs.
That is a great idea. Quite a few of our products used in modeling are made from natural materials.
En français ça serait sympa. 👍
