All i can say is "WOW"!!
I`ve missed this completely until now Greg.... and so pleased i`ve discovered it!
It`s a subject that has always had my interest,(mainly because of it`s absurd size i suspect!!:flushed,and your rendition is looking spot on!
Also,your Scratch Dio building is so clean looking it`s just unfair on the rest of us mate!!....
All in all,a cracking piece of work so far,and i look forward to following the rest of your progress!

Hi Greg,
Nice work so far. Apologies if I missed it earlier but what did you use to take the moulds of the boxes?

Just gets better with each posting Greg.

Thank you all, it's starting to come together. Urban rubble has always been a challenge for me; at the moment I'm trying to get a base layer of scenic scatter and shredded cork chunks. Once painted hopefully I can apply some larger pieces of debris to tie it together, but at 1/72 scale it's very difficult to get things that look like individual bricks.

Paul, the molds I use are a product called 'Blue Stuff'. They come in sticks, and you soften them with boiling water to make a mold. Then I use milliput for the actual casting. Very handy for this scale, where decent accessories are hard to come by!
