All this scratch building I'm doing are test pieces for my large crimbo scene next year , I'm putting our local church in it so I needed to see if I can do the stone covering for it

Well it has worked very well so cannot see any issues when you do the church.

Don't know if this will make things easier for you Alan.If you paint the stones first, then make up a runny poly - filler (coloured to simulate cement) you can apply it with a printer refill syringe and needle, it'll run nicely into all the joints, if any spills over then just wipe it with a cloth and clean up any excess powder on the stone when dry with a stiff toothbrush.

This is how I made the stone walls and cottages for a few railways belonging to friends.

Some people underestimate the power of the balsa.... . It's nice to see someone else using it so much... . The walls great mate.

Cheers Colin and thanks for the tips , balsa is a great thing to use it's easy to cut and shape with little effort

The only problem I see with the church is the stain glass windows , I'm thinking of using sweet wrappers

I'm doing Elaine parents church and gardens in 1/72 for the "build a building" sig next year.

Its a modern one though so loads of brick, I'll give it to the church at the end and they can raffle it or something to get funds for the youth group.

I think I might do that with mine actually that's a great idea

Yeah, but clean off all the toffee and chocy stains from around the windows first...
