Have you posted an example of that somewhere Holly? I'm trying to decide how to do my stone foundation and can't make up my mind (what else is new, right?).

I'm trying to decide how to do my stone foundation and can't make up my mind (what else is new, right?). Before one of the "upgrades" to the Forum crashed the Gallery it was in an album that is now gone. It was my first major kit bash, a Buttercup that I bashed a fireplace & chimney onto the wall without the bay. I wasn't as happy with how the "stones" looked, as I used styrofoam from egg cartons. I think packing styrofoam has a better texture, but you want to use water-based glues & paints to avoid the melting (I used Elmer's all-purpose white glue on my styrofoam and water color paints).

Medieval Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Well I guess like most things I'll have to try both and pick the best based on my skill level. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
