Stone scenery

[Ron Tamburrini]

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.

Not so sure about that mark as you cant scale down the mortar bed and spread with a scaled down trowel and hard to hold plumb but that's not easy in reality as well

The idea is right but it needs to have relief Mark ' I know I'm hard to please

Then use some of Ron C's stuff on top, to give it extra dimension !

Ron I have found a block of polystyrene and tile grout (floor or wall) a good combination for making various walling effects . Start by cutting a polystyrene block to about the size and shape you want to end up with , pin to the base (I use cocktail sticks and PVA)you need then coat the polystyrene with PVA , while it's still tacky cover with tile grout , for brickwork about 2mm , for stone about 5mm . After half an hour or so you can start carving into the surface creating the effect you want . If you are not happy you can smooth down a bit with a damp brush or wet it up and add more grout . The great thing is you can play with combination for a couple of hours.
And when it's all dried out , which dose not take long you can paint with any paints you prefer .

OK I know it's only a promotional ad for a dvd & it's the wrong scale but pretty impressive results;

Hi Gordon long time no here ! I take it you use the pva as a bonding agent before using the tile grout.

Sorry Ron, no I haven't tried the methods in the youtube video. The videos are aimed primarily at the sort of railway modellers who look for more than a straight out of the box approach.
Railway modelling has been sacrificed in a desperate attempt to keep up with Carl Reid & Moz Corry!!!!

Geoff this is going to be a long project, so far tried a couple of things suggested by fellow members but not happy with my results of their ideas "my fault not theirs"
going to opt for cork cut into individual stones and bedded onto a sub base of wet plaster to simulate the mortar joints ,this will be tedious but I ain't in any hurry with this one ,if it's ready for euro next year I will be well pleased.
The vid looks good and worth buying do you have a link.
