Today I want to share with you my 3 favorite methods for making rocks out of foam. The Thunder Mesa, Gruesome Gulch, and Bandit Canyon layouts all have a TON of hand carved rockwork so I've developed, adopted, modified or our right stolen just about every rock making technique under the sun! My three favorites make the best use of polyurethane and polystyrene foams, and I'll take you through all of the materials, tools and techniques that I use to model the canyon country scenery on my layouts.
Thanks for watching, amigos!
