  Looking fantastic so far! Absolutely in awe of the scale of this project!

This is really great! Im trying to understand the process. The wall is laser engraved with the brick texture and then treated on top?

Thanks chaps

Basically yes. After the walls are stuck together I stipple them with some texture and then paint. It helps to give a bit of relief to an otherwise bland surface.

The most recent ones haven’t had this done to them yet, it’s just the samples up to now.

Brilliant! Thats a great way of doing a project that large.

Awesome so far!

This looks so much like “Citta del Monte” in the 1949 film Prince of Foxes:

Main basecoats are on (apart from that patch on the right hand side as I ran out of sculptamould). I'll be doing the proper colouring in once a couple more bases are done as I need to match them across the joins.

There's more description on the Gradara page below
