    So my only suggestion would be to add paint to the modgepodge, because of the sand flakes off over time you won't see the white Styrofoam underneath.

    • @OilersWorkshop

      I haven’t painted the sand yet, this all gets painted, but that’s an excellent suggestion

    One cool material I discovered for covering up the bubble texture is iron oxide powder. It's extremely fine, but works really well especially if you goal is to make your terrain magnetic. I'm going to try making some rock spires like you did but use the oxide instead of sand.

    Will spray paint cause the Styrofoam to melt ...I'm asking before I try and I think I've run into this in the past

    • @OilersWorkshop
      @OilersWorkshop  10 місяців тому

      So if you coat the foam with 1 or 2 layers of glue(mod podge) THEN ad a layer of sand, you should be safe to add thin coats of spray paint.
      OR you can do the coast of glue and sand and then HAND paint with acrylic paint a dense bottom layer first, THEN spray thin layers of spray paint.
      All I’m explaining is just that you need to coat the foam in a barrier first(glue or acrylic paint work fine in this instance)

      Speaking of that, many years ago I "helped" my son build a diorama of the Alamo, and lightly dusted the bare (didn't know better at the time) Styrofoam pieces with spray paint (lightly, not a heavy coat) and it melted just enough to give it a really cool worn and crumbled look.
