Adding in a base acrylic paint color to the mixture before pouring into the molds will help with any chips that may happen...I use it for all my 1/35 th scale armor Diorama builds
Hi Mel, two really easy and very effective ways of coloring rock faces. But...let me make sure I have the steps correctly. For leopard spotting, no pre- wetting of the rock face. For acrylic ink, pre-wet the rock face. Yes? Thanks. See ya Thursday. Hopefully in the studio for more teddy bear fur.
Hi Mel, i’m watching all rock techniques so far. To all I can only say: thumbs up! Thank you for your efforts to show us the techniques
Excellent technique Mel
Marvelous.
Best regards

Phenomenal! Thank you for this tutorial!
Dude, I was just last night watching your old videos about casting these rocks since I was considering it for a project. It's a sign!
Thanks Mel!
great ideas, mate! i've been struggling with drybrush on stone brick walls for a while, just this week I came with the idea of watered pigment and start playing around. your video just come in time!
Both great techniques. I'd like to give them a try. Thanks for sharing!
Fast, simple and effective. Job's a good'un!
Going to use this for my board. Hope you are well Mel!
Great techniques - very realistic looking. Thanks for the tutorial.
Hey there’s nothing wrong with a quickie! 😉 awesome vid as usual mate!
Sweet! Thanx Mel.
Nice shirt, Nice video. Thanks!
I like your technices. Good work 👍

I enjoy your content alot, I've learned alot from you.
Looking good. Nice thanks for giving "the finger" :D
OK BUDDY THANK YOU
Mel, ore rich rockface
Can I use the black from the Learning kit to get a similar result to the ink? Love your videos btw!
Going to use this technique on mine. Thanks 😃 what do you use to seal the rock afterwards please.
Hi Mel, great video, thanks, after the final wash what would you use to seal the whole thing, Thanks.
I am doing a jungle vivarium and plaster won’t work in wet environment so I was going to use “ Woodland scenics rock molds and cast the rocks with acrylic resin. Do you have any experience casting rocks with the acrylic resin and would your painting techniques work on the acrylic resin. Would the paint stick in a wet environment. And what type of paint would you use.
Why not just varnish seal them - have you checked out lizard landscapes channel?
Mel,
I must (against my better judgement) admit your use of black wash does have me re-thinking my opposition to it. I am not switching over yet. Just thankful for your insights.
Now a question. Not to long ago and old RxR buddy willed to me numerous bits and bobs for rail scenery and detailing. One part was a LARGE COLLECTION of rock molds. Some custom made. Some commerical. The commerical includes lovingly used and NEVER USED Woodland Scenics plastic molds. I have written to W-S. Their response is to buy their plaster based products. And only their plaster based products. NUTS TO W-S. I prefer to cast in Epoxy Resin due to its flexibility, ease of cutting & shaping, and light weight. (With #3 the most important due to my benchwork.)
Q.: Have you, or any of the Terrainics, had any success pouring Resin Castings in W-S rock models? Does the plastic melt from the resin? What releasing agent works best?
If a preponderance of NO's, or mold failures, let me know that too. Instead of ruining 17 almost new W-S molds I can still give them to my Train-Terrainics at my RxR club for good use.
SEE YA' DOWN THE LINE

Have you ever considered using something like Das clay mixed with white glue in molds?
@@Sorrowdusk I'll give it a go. Thank you. Jim
I've never done it mate
Could you do a tutorial on how to build giant foam mushrooms?
Actually, I've been thinking about that this week ;-)
Hiya Mel, fantastic tutorial. Perhaps I'm losing it, but have you done a tutorial on sandstone? If so, would it please be possible to provide a link? Kind Regards Johnny
Yes mate, earlier in the realistic rocks series
Mel, Many thanks.
Mel, which ink brand was the black final one? great video, mate!!
It was actually tattoo ink but any acrylic ink will work mate
Hi Mel. What kind of acrilic ink did you use? What brand? Thx.
Question. Is it possible to do the leopard spotting technique with inks ( I'm a total dunce when it comes to painting rocks an cliffs although I've done a few with not bad results ) I'm thinking you could use some weird and wonderful colours for Fantasy/Sci-fi settings?
You can do
you should cover the rocks that made her hearth so rough T_T
Can they be combined? I.e. Use the ink over the other pigments?
Yep
Can these techniques work on polystyrene??
Yes
Can anyone find a link to the casting powder somewhere? I public school education and bad hearing is making it hard to look it up.

@@TheTerrainTutor thanks Mel. The auto generated CC was not helpful.
May I suggest a video for the hills and rocks playlist? A how to on using rock molds and blending them in with you foam substructure.
@@RhaShazad that's already in that playlist, there's a video dedicated to that exact subject
MEL i just started my own modeling youtube channel!!! i need advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just keep posting vids mate
