These Piles Of Rubble And Barricades Are Made By

making molds first. I made the masters I got some plasticine modeling clay and push into it. A load of bits and bobs from my spares box and matchsticks and cat litter for timber and rubble and that made the master I then painted layer after layer of latex over the top until I had a mold like this. This is the actual mold for that particular barricade. So now it’s a enough layers thick to hold itself together reasonably well and then I just supported that you know just a cardboard support and then started casting away.

I Did This One, Which Was

all just rubble and barrels, and I did another one which is more of a sort of world War two UK look with jerrycans and oil drums and and wheels from World War two vehicles these walls. were made the same way as the barricades. I got a big blob of plasticine sculpted. It added cat litter and so forth for slightly more realistic rocks and then painted layer and layer and layer of latex over the top. Until I had this mould, which as you can see as being scrunched up in a cupboard for a while, but it’ll recover and then I cast them up and that was pretty easy.

Theyre Strong And Theyre Very Easy

to paint because all you have to do is mix a little black paint with your varnish or UK glue and smudge that over the top and it sinks into all the recesses and hey presto. It seals it and paint it all in one quick operation and if you need a smaller length well, what you do is you get a bigger length and then you break it. In two, although of course, I bother to sculpt the stones into the end where it’s broken as well just to improve the look of it because I have standards This barn has been made using the linker system. You get to casting powders. You could use plaster of Paris, but I use stronger stuff like Hercules and stone cast and then you cast up loads of little bits and give them together to produce buildings like these the actual molds look like this it’s a flattish, rubbery mold, and you put your plaster or whatever plaster equivalent into that it dries fairly quickly because it is quite thin and then you get loads of bits.

The Bits Look Like This.

You can see this is a plain brickwork and there tooth down either edge, which makes them stronger when you glue them together. It also means that the brick. pattern gets the edges the joins get hidden rather better in amongst the bricks and you end up with terraces like this This Terrace has a removable roof as is my habit Oh some Germans there and they’ve all got removable roofs and these are not quick to do.

  • layer layer latex mould
  • cat litter timber rubble
  • molds masters got plasticine modeling
  • mold particular barricade
  • piles rubble barricades making

However, Thats A Fairly Major Modeling Project.

You have to cast up quite a lot of the bits and spend quite a while gluing them all together and of course I have to get fancy with with the tiles along the apex and loft conversions and removable roofs as well as another complication and I fortify everything with thick card with the mastic and various glues to make them much stronger. Oh and I’ve even bother with guttering on this one Sidney burrs you.
