AKA Vallejo black splodge. Proper name ‘Earth based acrylics’. Premixed gunk that you just paint on. Use it for tarmac etc. Love the texture of it :)

Thanking you  :)
cheers

Brilliant stuff.

Do you have a good source for the textured plastic sheets you've used for cladding? Thanks.

This is truly great work. I was also going to ask about the cladding-its very effective. Probably the best sci fi buildings that I have seen and I am looking forward to seeing them painted.

Looks like Plastruct stuff.  Easily ordered online, although any good model railroad shop will have a selection and can generally get any specific type you need.

Nicely done Karl. Looking forward to seeing them painted & the Kickstarter later in the year.  8)

I've used EMA reliably in the past:

Be warned; looking around the site can be expensive, acquiring all the shiney bits you didn't realise you needed.  :D

I have used Slaters Plastikard forever. Some of the pieces here are years old :)

Kind of true for the entire internet, isn't it?  :)
