World show seminar

[Vernelson.M]

Was curious if anyone attending the world show had any input on types of habitat seminars they would like to see.

I always enjoy water, ice, splash seminars. Which this being my 1st world show I'll most likely be amazed with everything I see.

There have been a lot of questions on the Forum,in the past,about making rocks.Also questions about attaching dirt,mud etc.-general base making.

I agree with JIM B.  I am sure all of you old timers that do the show circuit every year are tired of rocks, but there seems to be an endless supply of newbies and head mounters that want to learn about making rocks.  I was in a large sporting goods store yesterday, and I would have to say that most of the rocks that were produced for a lot of the lifesize mounts, were not natural looking.  A bad rock is easy to do, but a natural looking rock is not easy and most of us don't want to spend big money to cast a rock.  Just my opinion, but I think it would help a lot of people to teach accurate rocks.

Good rocks aren't hard to make but sure seem to be.  You have to think like a rock to make a good rock and get away from the perfect look. You have to think cracks, splits, erosion,imperfections, etc. and go at it. A bad rock can be picked out a mile away.and ther are a lot of them out there.
22 fathoms mentioned trees. There are good ways to make trees. I just touched on the method on a previous post today. Foam and fiberglass
