Now feeling a lot like modelling, even spent some time sorting the paints, see my post. even had time to make some gluten free cakes !
Alas all eaten .
The start of the building was this.
Which soon turned into ,
The base, still wet from a coat of cheap acrylic paint, more to seal than anything, two will be coats needed.
Ive been reading about
But the price is rather high for what it's made from, basically plaster of paris and paper.
So decided before I either get some P P and try I decided to use shredded kitchen roll. Soaked it in water, soon fell apart. Then squeezed dry , finally put it in the oven !!!! just to dry it out. I can confirm there was NO FIRE .
The now dry paper.
About the same amount of normal cheap wall filler, a dash of thinned pva and some water. not too much as not it only with it take too long to dry it will slump.
The result
The paper does bulk it out and gives a better texture for rubble.
Since last nigh when those photos were taken I've shattered the large stone sections.
This is all going to have to dry, probably at least a few days, keeping it in the house as its warmer.
Then the start of the painting.
Thanks for looking in and commenting
