That looks quite good! But to me it seems rather greyish than pink. Okay, I'll go stand in the corner.

Cheers, Volker
I'll make it. If I have to fly the five feet like a birdie.

No, Volker, it's pink. Make an appointment with your eye doctor. -- ssuR

How did you design the foam so nicely? Can you give us a little step-by-step guide?

I discovered placing the foam in my gravel driveway and stomping on it (river dance?) it made texture and stress cracks.
Next I used a rock to "carve" fissures.
Then I picked little pieces of foam out.
I used a couple colors, grey, light brown and a black wash.
I added unhandled grout on the browns for more texture.

The other wall I broke up some of the cracks.

It's unbelievable how realistic you can make things look with foam. I'm impressed.
