    Thanks for the tips.

    I was thinking more about a good way to apply it, so that you get the right lichen look. I know a few ways to get the right general texture. I've made a few dioramas in my youth, but never really anything in the scale 1:1. Except for a couple of unsatisfactory projects.

    You should post a DIY post when you get done to help the rest of us out.

    There's also a great tutorial on making fake rocks at:

    Build your own fake concrete rock

    It's got step-by-step instructions on how to make a mold, mix the concrete, etc.
