I have remade the building as I wasn't happy with it. I had purchased a self adhesive stone wall effect that said it was embossed and looked fairly good on the web. When it turned up it was very well printed but tended to repeat the pattern to often and wasn't embossed just smooth. I applied the print to the building but when I tried to press the detail in the effect was not what I was looking for, especially at the corners of the building. So this time I made the building out of my old favourite the blue foam. It was made to the same dimensions as before. This time using the print as a guide I have patterned the foam my self using a pencil. This has now received a coat of watered down PVA to seal the surface. Its a bit rough looking but hopefully when it is painted up and the details added it will pass muster.
comments as always welcomed.

Hi Scottie, the building looks good...better than the stone detail I did on mine with the same technique...the scored foam is so much easier than puttying or plastering.
Cheers,

Thanks Peter not to bad if you follow the 2foot rule.
Thanks John, you have set a high bar with your buildings.
Thanks Simon hopefully it will be ok.
Ralph thanks mate.
Richard, Your ruined building looked great mate but as you say the foam is easy to use and gives fairly good results.Comment

You need to come down to Devonshire and repair some of our granite walls on the moor LOL. A fine piece of block work. Very impressed with the pointing. Good luck painting that LOLComment
