Armand Bayardi's website is here: http://www.armandbayardi.com/brd/ He is not yet set up to take orders online; you can download the order form, complete it and email it to him. It's noted that he can take payments via PayPal. I remember when he still visited the shows, makes me realize how we're all getting older.

Are you willing to cast your own pieces, Ron? There are molds available from a company called Hirst Arts (http://www.hirstarts.com/molds/molds.html) which can be used to make some very nice pieces. One of our friends at the Treefrog Toy Soldier forum, Mike Miller, has been using Hirst Arts molds to make builds and stonework for dioramas. Here's one of his threads, if you'd like to see what can be done:

Hope that all helps, prosit!

That makes me think of Plastruct. They have brick and stone relief sheeting that might work for you.

Prost!

Hi Ron, try Ainsty Castings - some great bits for bases, predominantly for wargames, but some great crossover stuff!

Hi Ron

They have the whole Bayardi line plus other good stuff, take Pay Pal & CC and ship fast. Been buying from them for years. US based.

They also support PF.

thanx guys for all the info,as this is for a 90mm piece I am doing ,looks like i will need to make my own walling ,this is easy in a one to one scale as it is my bread and butter was hoping for some respite but alas the building trade follows me everywhere

 

[housecarl]

I don't know if this is any use Ron?

This looks interesting Carl ,might give it a try ,mind you I would pay the blighter off for too many ris-bond joints

Oops! I mean perpends to you English fellas

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

Tried a little experiment here with cork and plaster , small swatch is individual bits stuck together but scale down the stone size a tad ,remarks please
ps don't like the arch

Some good stock stuff there Mark, what I am looking for is stone relief sheet material like the plasticard stuff but in a larger scale that I can chop to suit my own design .
Problem with the stock stone stuff is that whoever sculpts it has no idea of bonding rules in most instances . and some dicky geometry to boot

Was the link to real stuff no good Ron T?

I have to admit, you cant get better than the real stuff scaled down ! .. That's a great link Ron C ! .. I have it saved ! .. lots of options.

They are all of value Ron ,but this is going to be a tricky project and difficult to make work outside of a light box ,estimate it will take about a years work to get right ; if at all

 

[Tubby-Nuts2]

If its a light box, have you considered the printable 3D Stuff ??
