Stonework

Recommended Posts

I've been playing around with stonework for the 1950s era buildings and tried a different method for stonework.

I spread about 1mm of 'Fix'n'Grout' tile cement on the walls and then scribed the stones in whilst it was still wet. A little bit of paint and airbrushing makes it look OK........I think :)

The lighting is a bit yellow in pics.

It's only been done a few days now but it's been moved around a lot..........nothing dropped off yet. I think there is a slight amount of flex in these synthetic cements.  :)
