Your stuff looks realy great. But why has it to be in the devils scale?

FunkyBrush... I'm old and stuck in my ways... grew up with this scale as this was all there was...

Gorgeous work! That is some of the more realistic dressed stone work I've seen, I'd love to see your technique.

If I'm not mistaken that looks printed?

If it is, this is the vest example of how this technique can look!!

Thank you Damas & Andym, Yes, I use hi-res textures over a plain card or paperstock core, I then distress them and weather them to take off the overly-pristine look... it saves vast amounts of time on having to paint the things.

That's looking great. The finish of the printed walls is convincing.

this is great work, the finish and texture look on the stonework is very realistic

That looks great.

Another marvellous build....your technique is particularly well suited to this scale....I seem to remember brick paper being the way to go for model railways many years ago and you have added a great deal of realism to that way of building.

I am already imagining that these are all going to make one very fine looking game
