Title: Simulated Plastering over brick
Post by: MrBrownstone on June 03, 2009, 09:38:57 AM
Hello Fellow Modelers,

I have used this technique...thought I would share this with the masses.

using cigarette paper.

by wetting the paper (I use a diluted white glue to make it stick) it gives you enough transparency to still see some of the brick texture under the thin coat of plaster. Then by adding layer upon layer you can achieve the desired thickness/transparency.

Very interesting idea. Do you happen to have a photo with a paintd up/finished piece.  Are you uisng a matte edhium or souch to soak/wet the paper with to get a harder/stiffer surface & make it bond?  have you tried making a "chipped" plaster wall using this approach?

I knew I should have kept all those rolling papers from my mis-spent youth. :-\ ;) ;D

Hello Fellow modelers,

I have another technique that I have used as well.

using liquid paper (fast dry type)(it builds up better)

someone told me it seems to chip OK too

Hi Marc,

I don't have a finished one anymore someone purchased it at a show.

I will see if I can do a small wall up today..

and to your questions, yes: on the matte medium  use and no: on the chipped wall test

as you can see it dries nicely with lots of white but also a touch of transparency along the edegs.

   Hi Mike,

   it will be difficult to hide / conseal the paper texture. I have tried this methode but was not able to achieve the characteristic surface texture of the plaster I was looking for.

   Here a link to a methode I used http://www.finescalerr.com/smf/index.php?topic=159.0 (http://www.finescalerr.com/smf/index.php?topic=159.0)
