Very nice, Wee Wars.     (by the way, what is the kind of 'filler' referred to earlier?)

I've ordered some of this to experiment with as it's nice and cheap:

Pebeo apparently sells sand texture gel in four colours.

It says to apply with a knife but I assume you could use a brush?

I would have thought only to 'finish' and neaten, Gareth  ....But Michael's going to be the one to say "Yay or nay" here, I think.

Pebeo is a new name to me but they have a vast range of media.

When they say knife they mean a palette knife so they're referring to trowelling the paste on with a painter's trowel/knife or shapers tool rather than using a brush. Like most gamers, I imagine, I use a cocktail stick for small areas, a palette knife for large areas and a shaping tool to smooth off the edges.

On using it, I can't recommend the Pebeo Black Sand Texture Gel as an all-purpose filler/paste – although it does a good job of modelling small-scale ivy up a wall.

However, I picked up a pot of DecoArt Media Texture Sand Paste and it appears to be perfect for texturing small scale building models.

Hello
It's wonderfull. In France there is an expression which says "Je saigne des yeux tellement c'est beau" If I translate into English that gives  " I bleed eyes so much it is beautiful "
I do not know if you understand the sense of this expression

Indeed. We say something similar.

[WeeWars]

I have designed a 3mm (1:600) model of a Waterloo battlefield building intended to be Decoster's house, a small inn that stood on the roadside between La Belle Alliance and Rossomme Farm. After hostilities, Decoster himself claimed to have been Napoleon's guide during the battle, which earned him much, perhaps unmerited, praise from visitors to the battlefield.











My model of Decoster's House stands on a 20mm square base. It marks the latest redesign of my 3mm Waterloo buildings.

I contemplated raising all the models by 1mm at their base to accommodate a 1mm layer of texture base paste. This is still possible if it is preferred. Decoster's House in the photographs does not have this and it wasn't a problem swirling paste around the glued-down model – but care had to be taken at doorways.

I'm rather pleased with the timber outhouse as it is probably one of the smallest buildings that I'll attempt in 1:600. Also, designing any sort of timber house in this scale is rather daunting. I designed it to face inwards, towards the courtyard, but decided to glue mine down with the main detail facing outwards.

The plan is to sell this house as part of a set with Rossomme Farm and Planceloit Church and Village.

Cheers, Michael

Superb Michael!

[getagrip]

Brilliant!   ...again!

I'm not jealous... Much!    

[Techno]

Good grief !

Excellent Michael. I'd have them as I have just started a 3mm Napoleonic collection.

[WeeWars]

Thank you, gentlemen!

How good is that?
