Polystyrene / Styrofoam Stone Wall by Sculpture Studios 

for kids

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!

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

@@vociferonheraldofthewinter2284 Thank you!

Thanks very much Monk! :D

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.

lol

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!

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

5:25 :D

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

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

They probably make it themselves by buying bags of polystyrene beads and heating them in their own molds. They expand and get soft when they're heated. That's how everything styrofoam is made.

Hey Jowe, it's a Poly Urethane expanding foam.

Cheers mate

Hey Chris, depends where you're based :P

SuperJayda1983 Hey Jayda, I actually made it myself years ago using a variable transformer (this allows you to increase and decrease the voltage at a turn of the wheel). It also has a little on off switch on one of the handle ends. Not sure where exactly you'd buy these outright. I think this was why I ended up making one myself. Thanks for watching :) Aden

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).

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.

Hey J P, Get in contact with us via aden.hynes@hotmail.com if you'd like to find out more about the materials we use.

There's a company not far from us who we have bought foam from for the last 20 years. They create large blocks for packaging and insulation companies. And us of course!

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
