Then a couple of coats of Grey all over (I used some emulsion from a tin in the garage with a splash of black in it) ....... and now I have a base to work on.......... Some rubble and general "cr4p" on it.

Thanks Robert....... it only took an hour yesterday.... But then how hard is it to break up pizza base ?....... It took longer sitting looking at it deciding what to do with it

Grasshopper, you are learning many things and soon you will be ready to leave this place and go forth to the outside world. Where you will pass on the wonderful gift of free dio. making....

Deciding what pizza topping is my worst fear( she likes some toppings but not the spicy ones


I don't think you'll make a mess of it judging by your blitz and pak builds.

Whilst I'm all for recycling stuff ( I can't abide waste! ), I do think a decent model deserves a decent base.


A picture frame from a Poundshop is hardly breaking the bank & those plastic containers can be put to new use holding sand, cat litter & scatter materials.


Still, I'm watching Ron's disciple with interest

 

[spanner570]

Blasphemy!


dubster72, go to the front of the class and give out the pencils......and then say you're sorry

I'm not sure I'm worthy just yet....... I keep ripping that bloody rice paper to shreds while I'm trying to walk on it.....

 

[Robert1968]

Well I'm a bit of a spendthrift at times but I'll admit to buying the odd figure and then not using him in a dio, I like to get the cheap pic frames from the poundie shop as I do a few aerosols of primer ( thanks Dubster 72)


I admit to spending £4 for modeling clay ( air dry stuff ) but I pin the tops of the empty milk bottles and ecycle the takeaway boxes, pinch the cat litter to make gravel etc ( poppy will never miss the odd scoop of catsan )


I even use the old modelling boxs as a spray area so can't be that bad!!!


But if I really need something I know where John is on the SMS!!!

Am watching this i like free.

 

[takeslousyphotos]

Last update for today ......... I found some Milliput I had in a drawer (So that counts as free) I bought ages ago and made some rubble stacks. Pushed some cat litter into it (that is sort of free as well). You can't have a broken wall without some rubble that fell off it. ....... But now I have to wait for it to dry off before I do anymore and it takes ages to set hard......... I can start detailing it tomorrow..........

The wall has had a coat of light grey ..... Then dry brushed with a Buff / Tan and a dry brush with some green.......... It's starting to look like concrete.
