Awesome job, Sir! I'd like to share a couple additional tips for newbies: Run the 8' length of polystyrene panels horizontal to the floor. If looking for a bit more distressed texture, a light splatter of acetone randomly here and there works nicely. This is to "eat concave divits" for additional texture. Be gentle with acetone splatters or misting... test on a sample piece first. Try this before hitting it with the heat gun. - For Color, grout lines: Black paint is very harsh for grout lines. It can look nice as done here. I don't use black grout lines for set designs. Try a stone colored Neutral dark gray instead. Also, have reference material so you know what you are replicating. (I airbrush and glaze on top of the flat paint color for additional dimension as additional steps. Just something to keep in your toolbox of ideas). I enjoyed this video. Great job.

The heat gun really brought that up to another level, good idea!

This is a GREAT idea! I’m in the process of planing our dining room renovation and that includes building a rather large square table. I’m thinking 8ft x 8ft that would seat 12. I had this idea of building the table with a pedestal base instead of legs but I didn’t want it to be too plain. I was really REALLY close to spending an unnecessary amount of coin on factory made faux brick/stone panels. See, I want to have an accent wall and have the base of the table covered in the same faux bricks/stones. I know it’ll give that wow factor without overdoing it. Thank you for this video!!!

This is AWESOME! I will most definitely be doing this in my dining room. I also have a crack in one of my living room walls but rather than hanging new drywall, I believe I'll go this route instead. Only I'm gonna do the original red brick with a whitewashed look. Thank you, for sharing this with us!

Placing the foam sheets horizontal will help hide the seam lines. Also simply gluing in scrap foam on a few of the seam bricks will break it up and your eye will not notice as much. It is still a great way of doing it 4 years after video was released :) Great Job!

That really looks great, you done a wonderful job!

Thx bruv exactly what I was looking for. Excellent idea

I love the look of the stack stone you did a wonderful job.

this is awesome!!!! I wanted to buy foam "fake" stone wall, but I found that it cost even more then real stone. Then I want to make it from cement, but then I found it would be too heavy. This is solution.

Thank you for the video. Definitely going to do this.

Very interesting. Nice job

Great job. Looks like a easy enough project that I may be able to handle. Just need to know how did you hang the panels too the wall?

Excellent… thanks

Just a question!, it feals like a brick or feals to soft when you touch it?

Wouw so awesome bravo 👍

Wow!! You are a patient and dedicated individual!!! Looks good and hopefully the sound proofing pans out as expected!!

Have to ask, is it safe. I've heard it isn't very good fit for control

Great job and yes need a lot of patience 🤔😁😁

"I recommend, (PACKIN A PIPE), puttin your favorite album on..."

Excellent Tutorial my Friend😇 I DEFINETLY am gonna do this " YOUR WAY"!😃 I thought to myself of how I could make some Brick Panels before also and what came to mind was " The STIRAPHONE Panels also but other than using a " exacto knife" which would take a VERY LONG TIME, lol to CARVE OUT EACH BRICK after I made my lines..lol and they're would be the added "melt affect" that you did to make them look like real bricks! That you ODVIOUSLY did an EXCELLENT JOB in achieving !!👍😁 Now I will know how to do my own when I'm ready!!😁 Thank you!!

Hey Steve , just wondering what color you used for the brick over the black and did you thin any of the paints.. Also redoing my work shed and thinking of moving my sons drum kit and guitars etc from upstairs and wonder if your band had any big issues with bounce back or anything using this type of panels

great job will insulate wall also

Going to try and melt mine a little too,im making a diorama for my 78 cm Spiderman. Great video!🙂👍

That looks great! Using this method soon I think; what kind of paint did you use for the grout lines and rustic look? I wondering about eating at the foam....

Genius...

Hey Steve. Do you think this would work on exterior applications also? I have been looking for an idea of filling in an area around an enclosed garage area. We removed the door, ran the block the same height as the original crawl space height all the way up to the edge of a 38" steel door. All that's left is the exposed outside wrapped wall.

Wow

Its great look ty for sharing, is this foam fire rated?

You should be a movie or TV/video set designer!

How thick was the foam? Half inch or 2 inches thick? Thanks!

A little bit fragile this wall .but so nice

STEVE, SPOT ON. LIFE BEGINS AT 84. KEEP TRUCKIN!

Fire hazzard?

what did u use to glue the phoem into the wall

Can you spray paint the black?

What did you use to harden the foam? I tried using polyethylene... I’m thinking using glue mixed with paint

my friend wants to know if you are available-she is a woman--enjoyed the video

Like the technique...hate the paint job.

I rather shoot myself in my foot then make a fake brick wall in my man cave, living room, garage or what ever…..
