Loved your Tutorial...it inspired me to try and make my own tombstone. Your painting techniques were very helpful, and it's great that I don't need a lot of tools, just a penknife and an airbrush! The devil is in the details, though, and your carvings are just superb. Thanks so much for this, it gives me hope that maybe with LOTS of practice someday I can do this too!

@sueoshea9881 12 лет назад

~ You,re brilliant detail and devotion to this "art" makes you my favorite Haunter!!! ~

@bigboodrew 11 лет назад

Amazing detail and thank you for taking the time to show us every step! Gets annoying when magically the step is finished. I started my own stones last year and this has given me more knowledge to go further! I was afraid at first to use spray paint but this has given me confidence. I usually get a small paint brush of Acetone and flick it on the stone for more deep divots. Love this!! Now to watch the more in depth carving, thank you!!!!

@LRBScarecrow 11 лет назад

That looks even better up close!

@srlowe33 10 лет назад

Although this was published 2 years ago it is a great two part video to watch in order to gain ideas on your own tombstones and how to age them and basically get the authentic look. Great job!

Stefani- Some of the best movies were put out over 50 years ago. Get real, girlfriend.

@godsflesh 12 лет назад

Sk thanks so much for posting this! I really didn't know how to do the black streaks and the moss. Now I can finish my columns

@gigawilson1147 9 лет назад

FANTASTIC- great job with the project and instructions.

@SKAustin 9 лет назад

Thanks

@brotherbonesx3163 6 лет назад

This was so amazing to watch you do this great work! You are a great artist. I am making stone pillars and I am glad I watched your video. Gave me some great ideas on ageing it.

@HauntedHotSauce 12 лет назад

I found a green washcloth at Walmart that looked exactly like moss. Perhaps irregular pieces of that could be used too! Nice job!!!

@AnnumBcav 11 лет назад

so sick! that tombstone is badass!

@slinger1991 6 лет назад

"not a lot of work" he says. ;) amazing job, looks incredible

@HauntedHotSauce 12 лет назад

Love it! It's all about layers huh. Thanks so much for sharing this!

@cavdragoon 8 лет назад

Really well done. I am impressed.

@SKAustin 10 лет назад

These have all been being used outdoors. They have held up well over the years and without any type of sealing.as for mounting them, i just bore a hole up thru the bottom of the foam and mount them on a section of PVC. I covered a bit on how it was done in one of my more recent Vlogs.

@RaniaPeet 11 лет назад

It's like glittering but it's grass! I can dig it. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. It is just what i needed to light the fire under my bum for my first stone :)

@emberpup 12 лет назад

so very impressive. the tombstone came out awesome. I never thought of using hobby grass for moss 8D

@TheBoneyardCreep 12 лет назад

Man I got a lot to learn and I think I just got schooled! Thanks for the awesome tips- I can only get better from here- you are the man-BYC-

@SoulsOfTheForsaken 11 лет назад

You are a tombstone GOD.

@DRACUL1964 11 лет назад

Fabuleous workmanship, I'm going use this method for 2013. Thank you for sharing! :}

@SKAustin 10 лет назад

I just bore a hole up thru the bottom of the foam and mount them on a section of PVC. I covered a bit on how it was done in one of my more recent Vlogs. This Year, Ive come up with the need to mount them on a paved surface. Check out my upcoming vlogs on how I accomplished this task..

@cindyfaulk-santana1147 10 лет назад

@WoodlandHaunters 11 лет назад

Very cool!! Do you have a tutorial on making that foam cutter in the background??

@work764 12 лет назад

that is very nice

@jodiequeenofcelticfire2605 10 лет назад

that was really cool now how do u sat up ur grave yard?

@jarmo273 11 лет назад

how does the moss look under UV lighting have youy ever airbrushed green paint for moss ?

@Gahmuret 10 лет назад

Very helpful video--thank you! A couple questions if you don't mind--are these meant to be used indoors or outdoors? I don't see how you stand them up, and if they are to be used outdoors, how well do they withstand the weather without being sealed with something?

@lmmulvehill 11 лет назад

I am also interested in knowing what kind of airbrush system you use - I want to buy one but don't know if the cheap ones will suffice or if I should invest in a more expensive one. Could you please tell us what you use?

@shadowblissfang2397 7 лет назад

Hello. Nice work on those headstones. I'm looking to make a 1/24 scale Halloween diorama, can I use the same technique shown here for the headstones?

@BobCon01 11 лет назад

Awesome 2 part series. I am wondering what type of air brush you use? I am in the market for one.

@flywithbart 5 лет назад

So what kind of air brush system are you using that can work with that thick craft paint? Is the paint thinned down first?

@swgrinder1 12 лет назад

Amazing you have so much talent. I was surprised that when you sprayed the lighter gray, you did not loose the dark in the lettering. A couple questions if you do not mind. I know you are looking for a realistic font, is the font you used Times New Roman? Is your sprayer an inexpensive one? I have things on my plate for this year, but might try this over the winter. Being unemployed my funds are VERY limited and hope to give this a try. Congrats, I am so amazed on your talent...

@CobwebsandCandlesticks 5 лет назад

What do you seal the tombstone with before you put it outside? Drylok? Polyurethane?

@kingrex1931 4 года назад

You did a really amazing job, I was wondering how long it takes you from start to finish to make a tombstone like that.

@brendanpayne2285 11 лет назад

Great tutorial! I've been working based of a number of RU-vid tutorials and where I'm at is I've weathered the tombstones, painted the lettering and cracks black and completed the overall coat painting with DryLock, which may be more light grey that what you're suggesting. They look great so far, but my question is can I now go back with a darker grey and do your application somewhat in reverse, either or both with brush, airbrush and or drip/tea stain? Hope for a reply and thanks. BP

@Roweinna 7 лет назад

Love the background noise....sounds like your in a haunted house! lol Nice tutorial by the way!

@autumnwilliamwoodward930 11 лет назад

I Have made a few homemade tombstones before but your tips will really bring what I have done in the past to realty. Have you ever added the fake moss in addition to the fake grass? I also wonder what type of air brush system you use? I have always dry-brushed mine by hand but would like the option of an air-brush. Your work is fantastic and I hope you continue to post tutorials! Thank You and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

@joven76 11 лет назад

Hey, great tutorial, but I have a question. I'm planning on getting a similar air brush that you are using for my Halloween prop projects. I think you said you just use regular acrylic paint. If so, do you thin it before you put it in or just straight from the bottle. If so what do you thin it with?

@shawnloughery8562 10 лет назад

S.K., May i ask how you anchor these into the ground?

@docburch55 9 лет назад

Great video. By the way. If you woodwork you can make your own grass out of saw dust, just add paint.

@geoseward 4 года назад

Instead of using black acrylic paint first could you skip to using grey drylock and than accent the grey with a lighter paint?

@pjadolf 9 лет назад

Thanks for posting this! It was extremely helpful! I have an airbrush question - when using craft acrylic paints, do you dilute the paints? If so, how much and with what? They seem really thick to use in an airbrush.

@SKAustin 9 лет назад

I thin them with water and Flow-aid, there are several options available, and a few videos for home-made air brush thinners for acrylics. In this particular project, i only used water to thin them to the consistency of milk.

@XenaWarrior95 3 года назад

What type of air brush did u use? That was awesome

@SKAustin 3 года назад

Paasche H series

@dickrohn 2 года назад

Great video!! What did you use for the moss?

@SKAustin 2 года назад

Woodland scenics grasses (turf). I used to do model miniatures and had a large amount of left over turf colors. I just mixed a few different colors and sprinkled it on.

@beveyhawco4758 9 лет назад

Loved your video but I tried eBay for the grass to do the moss effect but I couldn't find any. Do you have any suggestions as to where I can find some? Thanks

@SKAustin 9 лет назад

I use Woodland Scenics turfs. There are a variety of colors and sizes. I found the best results by mixing a few different colors of coarse and fine turfs. You can get them on amazon, most craft and hobby stores, and any model railroading shops.

@beveyhawco4758 9 лет назад

Thank you.

@whoknowes1 5 лет назад

I know they are your tombstones, but the sprayed second coat(gray) kills the contrast of a black undercoat. A dryish roller or paintbrush will paint the surface and leave the black detail of the carved area. The black letters aren't there.

@stevenhulbert7655 8 лет назад

Will liquid nails accomplish the same result as the urethane adhesive?

@SKAustin 8 лет назад

+Steven Hulbert Liquid Nails is not foam safe and will eat into foam. That said, the paint should provide a level of protection from the liquid nails and hopefully prevent this. Liquid nails is also not clear like the Liquid Fusion so any spots not covered by the "moss" will be visible. And finally, I cannot comment as to the waterproof qualities of liquid nails, but the urethane glue is 100% waterproof once dry. Liquid Fusion is pretty inexpensive, so I'd recommend it if you can get it, but the liquid nails might work. I'd test it out first to see how it holds up to the weather.

@stevenhulbert7655 8 лет назад

Thanks for answering and the information

@FordFalcon1962nBlue 9 лет назад

Urethane Glue..looks intresting for doing moss on tombstones..where do you pick that up i wonder? ive only done hot glue on tombstones with moss..but if i could do this..i think it would save me time, i also need hot glue for skulls on my fence so i really could use this type of glue you are using

@SKAustin 9 лет назад

FordFalcon1962nBlue Liquid Fusion (Urethane glue) is available right at Michael's in the aisle with the rest of the glues and adhesives. You can probably also find it at AC Moore or Hobby Lobby as well.

@FordFalcon1962nBlue 9 лет назад

***** thanks man i hope it isnt too expensive just would need one thing of it probably-

@SKAustin 9 лет назад

FordFalcon1962nBlue Not too expensive at all. 6.99 for a 2oz bottle.
