In this part of the tutorial we carve and paint the banks of the moat and we paint the water!

Part 1 (The beginning) of this tutorial is right here

In this part of the tutorial I carve the banks of the moat. For the most part I make rock shapes. And here are the tools that I use. Carving foam is very easy and you can use a wide variety of tools for this including a hot wire foam cutter, knife, x-acto knife, utility knife, hack saw blade, rasps and files.

I simply had a lot of fun carving rock shapes along the banks of the moat.

Once the stones are carved we can paint them. Start out by covering them all with a coat of gray paint.

Then I painted black into the cracks.

Then I added white highlights to the higher areas of the stones.

There you go! The banks are painted and they look great.

Okay! Let's continue on to the part you have been waiting for! Painting the water (Part 7d)
