Many thanks for the replies chaps 

The very antithesis of craptastic... 

I haven't painted it yet 

Some of the cracks look a little fine, but maybe that's just the photo? They're not going to fill in once you add filler/paint will they? I'd hate to see you put in so much work only to have it wiped out at the next stage!

Well, I'm going to be airbrushing the cliffs and I think I might not add the texture everywhere, just in a few select areas that need it 

But also that castle...

My carving is not so beautifull as yours but...

More on the castle in this coming week 

I like your cliffs but I would suggest trying to get rid of the definite lines between the sheets of material 

More carving done, about a third left to do.






And with some 10mm... Just because

Wow those cliffs are looking fantastic! Such great detail.

[rumacara]

Keep it coming James.

And yes your absolutly right.
Too obvious the lines of the sheets. I should have disguised more but i will glue one or two rocks to try and disguise because i already washed with white glue. Probably a little more carving here and there.



P.s I´m still waiting for the castle to steal... copy... get some ideas.

Yep, bloody brilliant!
 

All except for that rock third row from the top, second one in.
Needs a bit more shaping.

You'll need some piles of dog do for that to be a proper Dorset beach 

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks chaps 

Karl, I used a retractable knife. The ones that you snap the ends off when they become blunt. I just went over it again and again scoring repeatedly and then roughly picking out bits here and there, re-scoring if necessary.

Hope that makes sense 

cheers

James

[Lowtardog]

Just found this thread.  Those cliffs are amazing   Such great attention to detail.  Looking forward to seeing it at BLAM.

Thanks again gents 

Finished carving the cliffs last night and if the weather holds this evening I'll airbrush a primer coat on.

Work of art James. Seriously. Makes my trusty cork cliffery look decidedly inadequate.
