Regarding shaping of foam scenery, I can't seen to get the same kind of mountain-looking surface using just foam. I have to put a layer of plaster cloth over it to achieve the effect. I suspect this is a lack of knowledge/skill on my part. Could someone tell me how to get that rocky slope look using only foam?
