Aight, so I worked on doing Stucco to this Walthers Terry's Flowers Kit last night. It took me a couple of hours at best because of the drying time, sanding, cutting and weathering process to make stucco. I used regular drywall Compound and I like the end results. I wonder if people have an interest in how I did this to see if making a HOW TO video on this technique will be welcomed and needed? It was not just slopped on the brick and sanded. It was a layered process because Drywall compound cracks when it dries because it slightly shrinks when drying. So if you make it too think in one layering you will have UNDESIRED cracking results. I am all excited about the model like a damn kid now! It is the second kit I built in two days. The first one is my 'OTHER" Stucco style technique. On the Walthers Hobby Shop I used Rustoleum Textured paint to get the "stucco look" I like both versions. The Rustoleum paint makes the building look like many buildings I see that are NOT stucco but have that similarities of Stucco. I see them on Restaurants and I put them on two of my layout buildings. Here is a couple of pictures and a link to the rest of the pictures. Let me know what you think about them and IF I should or should not do a HOW TO video on achieving this look.
