Scratch Built Structure

Vinny: Good Job! May I suggest texturing the light areas. Use thinned spackle dabbed

          on with a brush. Paint when dry. I used this technique on a building and it looks great.

SPACKLE

good morning elvin....how have you been? yes i agree that i need to do texture on that building & several of my other scratch builds....i was thinking of using spackle, just haven't gotten around to getting some.

Instead of spackle

Instead of spackle for texture might I suggest titanium white paint out of a tube. I needed to do a stucco surface on a building one time so I took a fairly stiff small paint brush dipped it in the oil paint and dab, dab, dab, dab onto the surface. The oil paint was just thick enough that when I pulled the brush away each time it pulled the paint just a  little bit with it and gave it a nice textured surface. If I can find a picture I will post it and show you what I mean.

PAINT

hello roadglide & thanks for your input...i am looking for ways to add the "stucco look" i have a few structures that will require that type of texture
