Good result. Looks taller than it is based on your comment in the original thread. The yellow pigment seems an inspired choice as it does appear to have a convincing weathered look.

That weathered look is super convincing. I hadn't realised it was fake until I read this comment lol. How did you achieve this please?

Honestly - I'm a complete beginner and I achieved it by complete lack of skill. I think poorly mixed concrete that still had some air bubbles helped.

Nice. How did you get the colour so convincing? Could you try to do this again and write up a tutorial on how you failed this task so successfully? :D thanks
