Hey Gabe,  veri nice work. In fact that style rock is one of my favourite. Haven`t  made any yet,but I will, lol.

For the time and as a new bye, I`m gathering pieces of info, and sort of feel soon will give it a self-educated try, whatever that means. Anyhow, besides sending for instruccional material, I`m sending for some skins to help me start with texturing. Do you mind my asking which tex skin would be useful on that rock style. I do know  it`s not Italian Slate texture , lol.

Thank you for you compliment! To tell you the truth I bought the whole bag of tricks from Walt Tool and use them in random, I than smooth trowel out  some stones  and added back  lighter textute . I havent  identified them by name, but I will try to cross reference what I used  the most.

 Nelson,If You got the Tru tex stone faceing kit for starters, and also pitted granite large and  small  skin that would  be a great starters,I also made a few home made tools for tight areas and hard to get to small stones, Ill forward you pics. Hope this helps with your soon to be new addiction! lol
