    Fanastic result and I love how to-the-point you are. Someone else could have easily dragged this on for 20 minutes.

    Just fount this video! Great, concise, clear tutorial...thank you for the lesson! One question...where did you purchase the super thin XPS? It's almost as hard to find as unicorn teeth.

      Thank you! And I’m glad you like the video! Unfortunately, I don’t know where to buy sheets of thin foam. I only have 1-2” thick pieces where I’m from. I just cut the thickness down with my proxxon hot wire table.
      You could try looking at eBay, I’ve heard that some people sell thinner sheets that they cut down themselves! Not too sure about how clean and accurate they are though

    Insane! I dabble w/ different arts, and although I don’t need concrete, I do need a lighter product for my pieces. I’ve been hesitant to use foam, but now I’m going to give it a try!! Binging all videos now. 😊

    Did you apply the Deck Tan without mod podge?

    • @smolworldworkshop
      @smolworldworkshop  7 місяців тому

      Yes I just used the paint, but you could seal it with mod podge to make it more rigid if you’d like to

    Fantastic job dude!! I used to be a scenic artist in movies and TV. We did exactly the same type of technique. Awesome!!
    Quick note: on city sidewalks there are always big black spots of old chewing gum, garbage etc.. Depending on the scene, you can get a lot of realistic details by simply looking at an actual sidewalk. Great man!
