ARNHEM: Major General R E URQUHART'S HIDE OUT HOUSE Zwarteweg 14

[Guest]

10.02.2014Hi all,

thanks for the kind replies.

I have had a big disaster, after the first layer of plaster I put on a second layer of plaster, but this layer took away lots of details of the wall. So back to the drawing board and make a new wall, will put on some pics later on so you can see what I mean.

Cheers Richi

Ohhh!! Sorry to hear that Richard!!

Anyway the diorama is coming along very nice

OH No ,Booooooo, that real S----, all that work so sorry to hear that Richi ,you cannot wash off the plaster at all ? to try and save it ops:

[Richi72]

Hi Polux, Hi Moni,

Thanks for the kind words guy's

no way of saving it the depron is way softer than the plaster.

But the new wall is half done, so thumbs up, gone go with 1 layer of plaster this time

cheers Richi

hi Richi ,thats nice to hear, but alot more work than you needed to do, i use a wall filler , that i water down more , and has alot

longer drying time, so you can rub it back with a wet sponge when half set and just give that bit more time to play with as i found

plaster seens to set fast and quick once you pore it out ., dont know if its a help off any type to you, over hear its called sally wall filler

[Richi72]

Hi Moni,

it was my own dumb mistake, poured a second layer. The first layer sucks up the water from the second layer which is then almost dry in an instant and I know this

I got something like that somewhere, its called Molto filler here. but I don't want to wait that long .

But there is a saying around here, ''Übung macht den Meister'' wildly translated ''practise and you will become a master'' (someday)

Cheers Richi

[monica]

glad you see the liter side off it all, you just need 40c days to get things baked fast like me ,same think make a mistake and its all over,

i do like that saying must remember that one

and also glad to see your on top of it all

Richi, I've just re- read your excellent build thread....

Excellent stuff. Pity about the mortar joints, but as the saying goes 'He who has never made a mistake, never made anything'!

So, onwards and upward my friend.

Cheers,

Ron

'He who has never made a mistake, never made anything'!

the person who said that had to bee a wise man!

made another wall, but it didn't turned out quite the way I wanted, so I did a third one and this one came out great, at least I think so

update and pictures are coming this weekend.

Cheers and thank you all for the nice comments.

Richi

[monica]

glad to hear , it Richi a lot more work than you needed

will look forward to see how it turned out, and look forward to the next update

Update 24.02.14

Hello all,

Well after almost 2 weeks of trouble with my internet connection i am glad that it is working properly again.

I got my new wall done, and put in some windows and the door windows for a test fit.

I tried something different this time because I didn’t want to destroy it all with the plaster again.

Here are pictures of the old wall and chimney. You can see that on some places the plaster has filled up the gabs between the stones, that looks really bad.

Wow Richard!!

Excellent work around! The new wall is superb, a really patience work .

The Stug III is coming along terrific!! Amazing work so far on all the build, like PE parts and Zimmerit

It's a magnificent diorama.

Ps: where I can buy this can of sheet, to build walls, please?

[Richi72]

Hi Polux,

thanks for your kind words.

I think you live in Spain, so I looked at the homepage for Depron and they have a seller in Spain.

Here is the contact data for Spain I got from the German Depron site:

MATERIS PAINTS ESPAÑA, S.L.

Joe Vial

ALP PINTURAS

C/ Francia, 7. Pol. Ind. Pla de LLerona.

08520Les Franqueses del Vallès (Barcelona)

SPAIN

+34 93 8494010



There is an alternative to Depron and that’s foam board if you remove the paper of it you have a foam to, and a expensive alternative one is balsa foam.

and here is a link to a shop in USA that ships international LINK

Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers Richi

Ps. Or you can try Amazon, landed a bargain with them last year.

This is what Amazon.es said after searching for Depron LINK
