Do you have WIP pictures of actually applying the clay to the double-sided tape? I find the technique most intriguing!

[The_Wisecrack]

i have now used this technique and can say it isn't as easy as it sounds, you have to first apply the double sided tape (which is an absolute ass of a task) then you have to rip of small bits of clay and lay it on the tape, pushing it around to cover the area, before adding any brick work + stippling with a scouring pad to create a weathered affect.
here are some pictures. (excuse the fingerprints they practically disappear once painted anyhow)

[Lt. Hazel]

Your house looks great man!
The technique isn´t that simple, but it will be easier with some experience. Cut bigger pieces of clay, and roll them flat with a round woodstick. While pressing the clay on the tape keep your fingers wet. And I now have a kind of foamcard called "KAPPA fix" which already has tape on both sides.
By the way: In my experience the best things in life are not easy to get, but cheap

Nice trees.... 

Yes nice trees. I am looking for some cypresses myself and I have not yet found any decent ones. These look nice, what are their make???
[Only the colour is rather light for cypresses. In my country cypress colour is much more dark]

They are darker in real life, but I know cypress-trees are very dark green in Greece..I think the spanish ones are lighter

Of course!! Why haven't I thought of that.... 

Model trees can be shaped anyway you like, given the right tools and a little care... 

So, for all you 17th and 18th Cty. players: Get on with the renaissance gardens!!! 

[BigMecha]

[Lt. Hazel]

I´ll build a olive-tree plantage ( ? ) on a hill. Some work to do, I hope the trees will look right, I can´t buy some so do my own. 

[dodge]

looks like it will be very good,

how are you sourcing olive grove pictures from the web ?

Look forward to seeing the progress
