yes Jim,I real like the look of them this why in Plaster of Paris,a bit longer and slower,than making them in depron,but a much,


better look for me,

Looking a nice start Moni

ta Polux,slow but have the road down,next to start the build,and should move alone quicker,


well so far so good with the suspension,on the car,


think fitting the front wheels will be a bit fiddly and not so easy,

[Guest]

Hi Monica, Can you explain in more detail how you make your cobble stones. Thanks Derek

[Guest]

Looking forward to seeing the finished model...

[monica]

well the lost parts done,


let dry over night,and also the base coat on the car,


and will start the hotel and pavement today,

Hi Monica, Can you explain in more detail how you make your cobble stones. Thanks Derek

hope this helps you,Derek


I got a silicone cobblestone mold from j,s works,


which you just mix Plaster of Paris,and pour in,wait till set then do over and over,till you have what you need ,


I start with a full take away container as a starter,would be nice to have two,make more at once,


also can get the pavement stone one as well,but i just use depron for them,


or the other way I,do them some times is use das molding clay,roll out to about 10mm,think,


them cut them out ,size wise 6mm,by 12mm,


hope this helps,
