It looks great Silent. I'm still a little uncertain about using the packing foam but hopefully a few more coats of filler will sort them.

That's a pity regarding the rocks. I think I'm still going to have to give the technique a shot though. But a good looking build, it's looking promising.

It's looking really, really good now. I like the loopholes.

Your perseverance is paying off.

The build is coming out really nice.

Please excuse naff grammer etc as I'm typing this from my i-thing.

This is looking very promising indeed

How about for the next tine you do the foam roks you cover tyem with pva and then use car body filler for the hard coat. you can get it at Halfords and its called p38. Stinks to high heavan but gives a vert tougg finish.

cheers

The building looks great. The rock outcropping is in need of texture. Try crumpling up a small ball of tinfoil and pressing it into the green stuff for texture.

I've used car body filler on Polystrene and it just crumbled, wrecking the piece I was working on, I'd say avoid it on the foam (great for so many other things though), though if you do try it, try it on some scrap first and see if it will hold.

A decent base coat of pva will sort you out no worries.

There is also a styrene content in it (about 15% if I remember correctly) so you can use plastic glue on it with some effect.

cheers

Bloody brilliant

Now its looking good.

That's nice Silent. I see you're a man who must have working doors in everything. By the way the GF saw these pictures and she says no one is allowed to have this much talent.

Cracking work

Some lovely detail

Astounding work. Amazing even before it's finished.
Love your attention to detail. Did I read that right that you redid the panel lines underneath? Incredible!
Thanks for the tutorial style that mentions even your boo-boos and how you dealt with them...a real learning experience.

Can't wait to see the finished piece.

That looks brilliant

I really and admire your attention to detail as well!

Thanks chaps.

I should have mentioned, now that the epoxy putty has been added the foam-covered-with-filler-and-then-a-dash-of-super-glue has firmed up rather nicely; it no longer suffers when pressed with a finger tip.

Glad to hear it worked out for you.

Lovely work, any chance that you are going to put in strap hinges on the door and trap door?
