How to Make a Realistic "Stone" Nativity Scene (Presepe) | XPS Foam Tutorial

Learn how to make a realistic looking Nativity Scene (or Presepe, or Christmas Crib) with this step-by-step tutorial - using XPS foam to make a diorama that looks like real stone. I share tips and techniques on how to cut, texture, and paint XPS foam to look like real stone. You can use these tips to make any kind of foam "stone" building - castles, fantasy houses, dungeons and dragons, or wargaming terrain. I also share tips on painting, lighting, and electrical wiring. Creating realistic-looking stone buildings out of XPS foam is simple once you know how to do it. I made my nativity scene in the rustic, rural village style of the Italian "Presepe" / "Presepio." I wanted it to look like a stable/inn from an Italian mountain village. It features figurines from Fontanini, although some of the animals are from other sources.

Except for a few images generated by ChatGPT, the rest of the pictures are taken by me of my own actual project. Theo @TheosNativityScene #nativity #nativityscene
