Rocks and boulders


JCC1996

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm looking for some rocks/boulders for a production. Its to make a sort of rockery garden, so we'll need a variety of sizes and shapes. Ideally that would be sturdy enough to stand, or at least lean on. I was wondering if anywhere would sell/hire these off the shelf, or if anyone could point me in the direction of how to make them?

Would something along the lines of these work?

PM me if so! They're polystyrene, but can be stood on (within reason!), and we do have a reasonable pile of similar ones in the NYMT props store.

If you're making them yourself, I would recommend using layers of polystyrene form a builder's merchant, covered in Jesmonite.

 

The poly can be easily sculpted with a breadknife (I have used chainsaws for larger ones - careful!), and the Jesmonite sets rock hard - easily standable-on.
