Dry stone wall, carved from polystyrene / styrofoam, created for the freeze festival in Greenwich, London. Made to resemble the wall on the 3 moonwalking pony advert.

Hello Aden... Can you please tell me about "flexible concrete render" that you used in coating foam?
Cool ! Now lets see you make a fake Polystyrene block sculpture out of a stone wall :-)
lol
Nice to see professional quality work still exists
Really enjoyed watching and listing to this thanks
Very nice work, maybe a better poly foam would have been the graphited version that already looks like a rock / concrete and present no white! It seems people in the UK don't know about this amazing product.
leokimvideo Haha well it needed to be a quick turn around job. In which it would have taken a few days to order new materials. Not only that, but any polystyrene we don't use is already in its white state. We would have had to paint this regardless. And if it was grey, it might have been easy to miss spots
leokimvideo do you have a link to that product?
That doesn't at all sound like an amazing product. Sounds like grey styrofoam to me. COnsidering they coated and painted it, it just reads like you're trying to advertise to me.
leokimvideo sure they know but its still expensive as fuck compared to the diy version
I don’t see how it could have turned out any better. You know they say, “do what you do well and stick with it“. I think it’s wonderful.
I do have one concern though. I know there are some pretty harsh fumes put out by the cutting of styrofoam, not to mention the painting. Please protect your lungs.
Really brilliant, as they say on Harry Potter. Lol. Hi from the USA.
Wow, now I'm going to build me a life size styrofoam tyrannosaurus rex in my backyard. I've always wanted one.
WOW... This is GREAT!!!
Thank you for sharing this video..
I am an Acting Director... and am getting ready to move back to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US) to RE-Open my Acting Studio... and instead of making my traditional SIGN... I have been thinking about Sculpturing it out of Styrofoam... making it more Dramatic... (pun) Drama.
I can't wait to see more of your videos...
Fantastic work...
HI ADEN. the work that you as a sculptor and your amazing team do is amazing. and your name will go down in the history books.thanks to you and your team for sharing.
I really like the background music. Superstition acoustic cover
exceptional job. what type of spray paint are you using on the foam? ours just eats it away. i dont remember seeing a coating go on before the spray paint
Hi Darlene, take a look at 4:12 where it's being sprayed with a water based flexible concrete mix.
Very Superstitious!! Carving on the wall...
Total cost £18000,But a real dry stone wall would only cost around about £600...
john david Lol where did you get that price from?
Stone2D3D Then it seems we might be doing something rather efficiently that gives our clients a better price than other places perhaps :P We never discuss our prices publicly, each job and client is different, and we tailor for each circumstance. Keep guessing as you're a little way off ;) and thanks for watching :D
john david It' worth it if you have to move it more than 30x lol?
2Awesome Exactly. A real wall would presumably need to be built on site, and is difficult to move or transport in one piece. The polystyrene can be lifted by a couple of people in seconds. and moved multiple times once made. Also easily disposed of, rather than heavy stone pieces. (Also didn't cost £18,000 anyways ;)
Stone2D3D Good save ;) not quite 18k thought. It was requested more for health and safety and speed on site, not to damage the floor etc. We made this quite quickly too, so we were able to keep labour costs down.
that looks totally brill! would love to do that as a 'walled in garden' wall - sadly i live on a ridge and constantly get 50+ kph gusts - would be afraid that even with reinforcing bars, it would end up in one of my pastures!
I love this. Would love to construct a two story old looking house. Looks like a great insulation.
absolutely fascinating - - just brilliant!!!
This fascinates me to no end. For some reason seeing stone work and statuary made out of foam is really interesting. If I had any artistic talent, I'd do something like this.
Thanks for the comment Theo. Perhaps give it a go sometime, you might be surprised by what you can do, have a little experiment and play around with it :) Thanks for watching!
I like the work, you could probably take something like that, make a mold from it and do a more durable, fiberglass or concrete wall. Maybe produce sections that could be used for faux stone siding on a house.
What I've done for several people who had plain cinderblock walls or foundations is to paint them to look like stone. I've matched existing stone as well as just making them up from scratch maybe hiding a lizard or two somewhere. With the right shading looks perfectly 3D. i use mainly masking tape, sponges and many many colors of spray paint. One lady didn't like the look of the electrical boxes and conduit on the side of her brick house...I painted it all to match the brick and virtually disappear.
does any company in the USA do similar work?
Very nice looking but far too many unbroken vertical seems. A real stonewall stacked like that would not last very long.
i think ill pinch an idea from you and use this method to make a water feature. first make a rubber mould and fibreglass mother then cast in polyurethane hollow resin. i'm a keen hobby'est and i like experimenting. my wife wants to kill me as i never keep any new cloths she buys me clean for long.

WOW ~ GOOD ~ QUICK ~ AND YOU CAN HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING !
Thanks !
Really enjoyed this video and what a fantastic job you guys did! Looks brilliant 👌
* * Damn, I can not find polystyrene that size 8Ft X 4Ft X 2Ft in America...! * *
AWESOME, WOW, WIZ BANG, SUPPER, 99.99 POINTS 99 POINTS BECAUSE IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHATS NEXT a fantastic idea for sure thanks
This is totally awesome had no idea anyone even did this kind of work.. I've made many of this in miniature for games and it's complex in the designing and the painting but in 4 inch squares lolol can't imagine this size wow so impressed!
I really want a faux stone wall for one wall of my home.. the average price is about $2500- $3,000. I can't help but think that the first company that comes up with a version of the faux stone panels made of dense foam -- is going to make a killing. This company seems like they could easily form a prototype and have it mass produced, as the only thing currently that is cheaper than faux stone -- is wall paper printed with stone lol!
Cool project guys, but please use masks when carving polystyrene with power tools. Safety first!
This is soooooooooo absolutely cool. Thank you for posting and for your creativity.
thats soooo cool....
Don’t think this foam wouldn’t last in the searing Arizona heat.
Decopierre (stonecoat) made from limestone powder can produce this at a rate of 20 mtrs a day on many surfaces. I can see the advantage of light weight ,
Where do you buy these large blocks? I'm looking to build a large sci-fi set.
Unbelievably amazing would love to try this out
How water proof is it? How long would this last in the environment?
WOW...that looks fantastic. I would love more information on the flexible cement rendering. Thank you for sharing!
surecrete has a few products that might fit the bill in the USA
@@vociferonheraldofthewinter2284 Thank you!
Nice to watch your videos. Your videos inspire me to make princes castle in garden from polysterian. Obvious mane structure from timber and stell.
Some amazing work! I work with fiberglass and your videos give some great ideas !
Ain't no way. I would need someone with a vacuum cleaner beside me as i work with that foam.
It is beautiful though. I love it.
great stuff .... any tips for doing an old white cottage wall, I get the 3d effect using dark base coat but if i use a dark base coat it will look dirty and i want that whiter than white stone look... if I use a blue tint it will maybe look blue because there is a dark sky
**thank you** for these very useful tips, brilliant and **good job** 👍🏼
Why not only use recycled styrofoam to make your work? You CAN AND SHOULD.
I have always wanted to do stuff like this. . . but every source with the foam blocks seems to sell them for a Buhzillion dollars each
Incredible work, thank you for sharing this.
Its not a bujet friendly.in this money i can rent stones hear.on the other hand there are another guy who gave us more good stones made by news paper.
It's budget friendly in the sense that it can be delivered, put in place, picked up and moved multiple times throughout the day easily between 1 or 2 people. Without the need for any heavy stones, or something that will fall apart or blow over in the wind or rain :D
Amazing i would love to build cave home with foam
hi is “flexible concrete render” the same as “acrylic render” which i believe is concrete with acrylic added? is that what makes the concrete flexible? thank you
Hi Robert. We use the term flexible, not as though you can bend and flex it. But it sort of naturally contracts and expands in the heat and cold. It's not plastic or actually bendy
so your client was the First Chairman and Viceroy of Alderaan, Bail Prestor Organa...
I’m trying to make an accent wall and do not want to spend the money on stone veneer. Does anyone know how I can get a hard shell on the foam ?
The front facade on the mega hotels in LAS Vegas NV are made just like this wall. All foam and stucco sprayed on it.
Awesome. And such a great cover of "Superstition"! Where the heck to I get that???
props given for a professional job! I am an artist. I am also working on my house...I have poly sheets...Do you think that I would be able to accomplish this technique for use INSIDE the house?
Good bro
Cheers mate
what did something like that cost the client???
To energy efficient for usa. Bet we can't even get a calk gun like that.
That'd be great for a Rock concert!! Really nicely done!!
That's how the Egyptians built the pyramids in ancient times.
Incredible! When I did a tour of Universal Studios in Hollywood (or I think it was more like Burbank) they told us a lot of stuff was made out of polystyrene - even building fronts...and I didn't believe them. Very talented people indeed
Back in 1988 I was the lead sculptor on a commercial. My job was to carve and paint three interior walls to look like flagstone. When I saw the commercial on tv, I was convinced that they reshot it in a real house. It looked incredible. Not that my talents were great, but the process was simple enough that I could pull it off. It’s really not that hard to do.
Sometimes the simple effects are the best! Thanks for watching John. I hope you still create now
We have very long dry stone walls in our garden and a lot of it is on a slope and needs fixing!
I'd love to swap them all for walls made by you!
I love doing this type of work
For Gods sake stop calling them Bricks they are Stones it is meant to represent a DRY STONE WALL Bricks are man made and regular in shape
Can't go back and change it now! Just gonna have to suck it up!
How does this product (styrofoam and paint) withstand the elements (sunlight, heat, UV, rain, etc.)? I'm in South Texas and we experience hot sunny Summers.
It's only designed to be set up for a couple of days. This wouldn't be suitable as a permanant outdoor feature. The water based paints for starters, as well as the light weight of the whole sculpture.
30 meters, how much did you get for that, then ?
Creating waste unnecessarily!
I can work for you? 😂
That looks pretty cool
good job guys
Thank you very much Penny!
Is this to function as a real wall or is it for filming on a set? How do you secure it to the ground? Can you cover a house in this material?
Gave it a thumbs up except for the green paint.
Awesome, can you tell me the type of material was used for the stencil?
Hey Dash, it was a very, very thin fibreglass. We call it a "tissue paper" when we refer to it here at the studio. But it's not really paper. Just very thin glass fibre that you can track onto and through.
What brand of flexible concrete render did you use on this wall?
It's called Dryvit (we use the word flexible as a broad term, as it can sort of expand and contract a little in the hot and cold. Not that you can actually bend it).
worst fence i ever saw. if you dont have money for real stone, why you need this chemical and visual dissaster...... just plant green fence.
Marijus Caterpillar perhaps you didn't listen to the part where we explained the use and the brief from the client. It's not a case of being able to afford a real stone wall. The idea is that it can be set up in 2 minutes and move from location to location easily and quickly by one or two people. But thank you for your input
These are great ideas for indoor house aesthetics
for kids
the carving is very very well done but if you look at a real stone wall it has many many more colours in it , this is too much grey and white for me to look real
Real stone shows considerable variety, some having dozens of colours in it, to others who are entirely monotone.
You have the best job in the world! xx
can i come work with you please :) id love it
Ultra cool advice fire any project at 3:35 to 4:05.
this gave me an idea it's called stamping real concrete I'm going to be rich! lol!
Exactly what product do you use for the spray-on concrete first-coat? Thanks for the video. I’ve looked at many. This is the first to do more than just add paint!
Hi Burt, the concrete we've used in this instance is called Dryvit :) thanks for watching!
How much did that polystyrene wall cost to make,? cus i could have built you a real wall for less
But they didn't want a real stone wall lol. Otherwise they would have gone to a real stone wall company lol
nice music Superstition
What is the product you used in the hopper gun. The dark gray you spayed it with????
Hey J P, Get in contact with us via aden.hynes@hotmail.com if you'd like to find out more about the materials we use.
Where can you get this big of a styrofoam??
Brilliant
*brilliant, you are a true artist *
I think this is genius
How much would a wall like that cost ?
very nice work,i shall try this
Awesome work! Was wondering who did the rendition of superstitious.
''Superstition'' good tune
You guys just inhale all that? Lol
That girl is hot
the time you spend to build fake wall . i would build natural stone wall .
Arturas Bagvilas and how do you plan to move that same wall to 10 different locations, moved by two people and set up and take down on a couple of minutes?..
Fantastic job guys and gals.
GREAT JOB!
how does it hold up against a weed eater :)
that:s totally rad )))
very cool
Yeah, okay. I will build one in my 8'*10' shed . 😂
Very cool!
Just amazing!! Great job!
This is amazing. The only question is with the light weight of the wall, how do you secure it to the ground against wind?
5:25 :D
Great job
So awesome to see how it changes. It's hard to believe how it started. Great job.
