The model granite is carved styrene. The mortar is Sculptamold with a bit of water, yellow wood glue and paint tinting colors.
That looks amazing, Bill! How did you carve the styrene to get such surface detail? |

Thanks, Ray. To not hijack Peter's terrific thread, I started a new thread in Tips, Tricks, Techniques & Tools : styrene rock & stone.
Another technique that I have now used several times for creating a terrific stone surface came from you. I have small roundish piece of granite from a beach that I hold in my hand and tap against the styrene until it imparts a very realistic stone texture to the surface. Thanks for that great tip!

To not hijack Peter's terrific thread, I started a new thread No hijacking at all, Bill - an excellent addition, thanks! I've managed to complete the side wall now and played around with some colour. Not sure how much weathering it needs; to me it's still too clean. Hmm, I will have to add some more contrast, but compared to the original (remains of an old industry canal in the vicinity)...   ... and here my interpretation:   |

Are you sure your interpretation isn't the actual river and stone wall? -- Russ

I think Russ is right! You photographed the real thing on the day after the scouts did a massive litter cleanup. Scary it looks so real.
