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.

Thank you very much Penny!

Sometimes the simple effects are the best! Thanks for watching John. I hope you still create now

This is an oldie! I sincerely hope you're taking a look at our more recent work as well 😋

@@AdenHynesSculptureStudios absolutely! the dragons have been great, as well as all the pieces done for the primary school. this is just the one most relevant to my current project!

surecrete has a few products that might fit the bill in the USA

@@vociferonheraldofthewinter2284 Thank you!

lol

Cheers mate

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.

Hi Darlene, take a look at 4:12 where it's being sprayed with a water based flexible concrete mix.

Thanks very much Monk! :D

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

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.

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.

Hey Chris, depends where you're based :P

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).

5:25 :D

Hi Burt, the concrete we've used in this instance is called Dryvit :) thanks for watching!
