1⁄35Rangers in Somalia
BUILDING:
The building was constructed from foam core board. I cut the pieces out with a
sharp X-acto knife and glued them together with the hot glue gun. I wanted a
texture on the building to simulate rough concrete. I used the plaster cloth to
try and accomplish this. I had covered the entire building with the cloth and
set aside to dry. Once the cloth was dry, I then used Woodland Scenic's foam
putty over the plaster cloth to give it that rough grainy look.
GROUND WORK:
Once the building was dried, I glued it down to the base. I mixed up some
Sculptamold, Hudson & Allen's Ground Material, and Elmer's glue and spread this
all over the base. Once the mixture started to set, I took some old tires and
pressed in the tire marks. I took some Elmer's Glue and laid some Custom
Dioramic's rubble material around the building. Once the glue started to set, I
diluted the Elmer's with water and poured this in the cracks and crevices of the
rubble to give a better bond. Once the groundwork and building was dry, it is
ready for painting.
