Scenery in Plaster

[Johnnie]

Just a thing I'd tought I shared with you guys. Just made a "mould" of an dvd box by shaping plastic strips around the edges and thus creating a big square in which to place the plaster

As you can imagine you can put squares in it to create windows, doors and so on. I also used parts from Hirst arts moulds to create pillars and egdes in the "walls". Why not Balsa wood to give you a little middle ages look. You can also put wire in the plaster to create a look of reinforcing bar. And if the casting fails why not create debris of it? Possibilities are endless.

We used to make Linka buildings from plaster when I was a kid. Great idea, but it does need replacing fairly regularly because it's fairly fragile. Making silicon or latex moulds for casting brickwork, woodgrain, cobbles etc.. would be fairly simple and a good time and cash saving for anyone looking for lots of scenery.

Ah using the hirst arts moulds I see. After using them I too decided to make moulds of random objects myself and it works out quite nicely. Using resin is quite nice too, but a little messy. Look forward to more.
