Thread: Wall advice.

Tweet

I need advice. Today I decided to upgeade my wall panes for my facade. Last year they where real boring. So before I " Upgrade all my panels I wanted to know what the experts think I still have work to do on it, this just a basic idea. Also if you have any ideas that would also be great. Thanks.

foam board, a dremel, a propane torch, a spray bottle of water... and paint

That is sick, Very cool!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to go the foam route, but it would never hold up. I have to keep my panels out side. A tarp only keeps the so dry. Also peoaple around here like to brake this. I had one kid punch my wall only to find out it was wood, and not foam LOL.

That is an issue.. mine are outside all season but I don't have anyone punching them... Smooth on does sell a product specifically designed as a hardner for this application... kinda sorta makes it as tough as fiberglas... not sure the name of it but I do know it is rather pricey... depends on your budget

other than that just concentrate on the painting of the rocks in your wall... use multiple washes and dry brush techniques, stipple and whatever else... the more color you use (subtle) gives more dimension to the piece... treat it like a painting and watch it 'pop'

Awsome thanks for the help.

i really like the moss in there and the vines. very realistic. i would say to maybe make one panel or a few of the blocks out of spandex for a pushwall effect. but i dont know your setup .

Maybe this is too much work, not sure how much you have for panels. How about glueing foam "rocks" onto the plywood with bones & skulls mixed in. The rocks could be cut out of a sheet of foam, shape the edges a bit. Glue them on then lightly run a torch or heat gun over them to melt & harden it a bit. Then paint it all to blend.
