Hi all. I'm absolutely LOADED with styrene and have loads of ideas for it. Only problem. Last thing I made (Black Templars Temple) turned out looking like turd and now I'm scared of stuffing up more styrene.

Normally I would be sitting in my room, scalpel in hand screwing around with it but over here it's pretty expensive. Its 30 AUD for a 10x1500x1500 mm sheet. It might not sound like alot but theres only one place where you can buy it and its a 20 minute drive from my house and my parents are never up for going there.

If I were to use it, I need some hints and guides. Please donate.

I mostly need to know how to make rocks and stone walls.


Thanks in advance, Bloodhound

you can get a hot wire cutter from GW which cuts it pretty well. if you just hack away at it it sort of turns to shit. that might help?

I can't afford a wire cutter at the moment so i just get a really thin wire from sparklers and heat it up and cut with it. Does the job fairly well

Just cuts slabsor random chunks for rocks, and shape them a bit.

They dont have to be very precise--theyr'e rocks! Once they are painted, they look great.

I've tried that. Guess what it looks like when painted?

CUT STYRENE!

I can't get it to look realistic.
