Bit of progress with milliput and a roller.
Going fir a variety of textures/materials

That looks fantastic. Did you roll sheets of Milliput flat, let them cure, then cut them to fit?

Rolled them flat, textured them, then cut them to shape whilst still slightly soft.
Attached to building with PVA then any small gaps and extra texture added

Slowly making progress.
Once finished, there won't be such a noticeable crack between the 2 parts, due to making ut in manageable sections.
More brickwork, texture to do then tiling.
Then the big bit too!

Really wonderful structure. I love the herring bone brick infill. You have me really tempted to do similar when I get around to constructing my next building.

That looks great!  :o  Did you use a roller to texture the milliput?  I have some rollers that I have yet to use, this is very encouraging to break those out and get building....

Yup, texture rollers with milliput.
Added more texture to lose the 'clinical' look.
Certainly easier than sculpting whole walls by hand(bern there, done that!)
