"Blendechtomy"
Hardshell is of typical construction, paper towels soaked and draped over cardboard webbing ( see previous pg ) Rock Molds are mostly a selection from Bragdon Enterprises and some Aluminum Foil molds for fill in, Roughy up the Foil ones just after pulling them helps a great deal, powdered Hydrocal is sprinkled to blend scenery and make slides, talus will be added later
