Hi everyone,
I was wondering how the modeler in this diorama made cliff rocks on the jagged part (that small mountain that connects it with a bridge to the big one).

looks like you can make those with the woodlandscenics rock mould. i use them in my dios.
if you get tired of the same shape, you can always cut them and put them together in a different arrangement. works quite well with little imagination.

I had pretty good luck once using an aluminum pan like the ones you roast a turkey in. I just wrinkled it up a little than poored Plaster Of Paris in the scratchbuilt mold.
