That is really nice. It really looks layered.

Check out these layers; they're almost vertical. This is also in the area in which I want to model.

I live over 5200 kilometres from those rocks.But I will check out my local home depot tomorrow.

Try thin sheets of cork board stacked on top of eachother. That will give you layers. You can alternate between think and thin boards too for a varied look. obviously a thin coat of plaster then paint will make it look like rock.

A project for the fall. Thanks for the idea.
