| Nicely done! Great idea and modular is the way to go. I like it. I have a Hirst Amon Hen that needs painting. I was going to use Woodlands Scenics pigments to stain it. It's not plaster of paris, but dental plaster. I'm not sure how that will absorb the pigments. Willow (or anyone) have any experie... |

| I love it! I'm trying to save up for those new molds and that WIP pic just makes me want them more! :sad: I really like the new Hirst Arts molds. I decide to order Stucco Panel Mold #251 after I started working on the Mill model. You might want to check out this site too. http://www.4botindustries.... |

| Looking forward to your progress on this. Not sure if I like the newer look of the mill. I like the roofline on the older better and the grasses vs the dock by the wheel. This flythrough might help you, though it shows the older look. https://youtu.be/0rrolf6VM_U Wonderful video 8) I can make the d... |

| I wanted to work on this project for a while. I decided to use the new rubble molds from Hirst Arts. I decided to use wood for the core of the building and Pink foam for the base. http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae283/CRTraylor3499/Bagend/252.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae283/CRTraylor... |
