Nice one @andre looks good mate. New you'd make a go of it, not used to people taking as many notes as you did . Fair play to you and best of luck with future works

May I just add that the dwarf wall done by Andre is all free hand . No printing mats used only a texture skin, very good first hand cut job
 
Looks great mate ,this time next year ,you to will need a helicopter to show your work :RpS_thumbup:
 
That is fantastic! I'm going to try and get on the Aug training session. Just unsure of how to go about getting the 1st few jobs so I can start creating a new portfolio of this work.
 
I went on a course a few years back and thought a lot of the stuff looked ****.looks fake when sealed.did see a few good patterns though.

I agree, with an imprinted mat & a gloss sealer it does look fake,
but a hand carved stone or brick effect with a Matt sealer doesn't look fake :-)
Its like the concrete driveways I think they look sh1t, all the same colour no different colour grout/pointing lines & a gloss sealer it looks w a n k!
But spend a little time carving back the joints to reveal the grey concrete underneath for the joints & it would look a lot better plus use a Matt sealer & bobs your uncle & Ryan swarts yet aunt :RpS_thumbsup:
 
There a guy down my way who does stone effect.he doesn't use matt's,no sealer and just uses sand & cement not wallcrete gear.he uses dye's.his work looks smart tbh.hes a bricklayer/mason so has the eye for it
 
Sounds good bobby, that's all you need really sand, cement, fibres, sbr & coloured pigment in the mixes.
 
Sounds to me like some of you guys might benefit from attending one of our imprinted concrete Training Courses... :RpS_wink:

Don't like to rain on your parade mate but who ever designed that knows nothing about stone! I know it's stone effect but I think they should have taken the time to at least learn a few basics about stone. They have vertical lines running from bottom to top of wall. That's a big big no no in stone work. Best effect should be 2 on 1, 1 on 2 and 2 beside 1 and 2 beside 2. Defo nothing like in your pics!
