Mr Magee,

I was wondering where I might find your article on "painting and detailing structures". I read the article for prepping plaster kits.. I think I will commit it to memory before I attempt the kit I recently bought (VP's Normandy farm ruins) ... *L* I have hunted high and low and cant seem to come up with it... Thanks in advance.

On his wedsite look for the photo gallery. in this you should find an article on how to paint a church ruin. The tips in that article can apply to almost every structure.
Hope you can find it.

Jim was kind enough to create a forum for all of my articles and submissions. Go to the FEATURES section and click on CAEN in the "Hall of Fame" section. One it appears, at the top of the article you will see:

Thanks for the post. A lot of great stuff has been put out on these pages. I appreciate you "old timers" putting links up for us "newbies to the site" to gain access to them.

Thanks for all the info fellas... Started cleaning up the piece last night and repaired one broken corner on one wall.. I kinda like the line thats left, gives the apperance of a chunck not quite ready to fall... Maybe I can "borrow the digital camera from work and post some pics as I move along with this project..

Btw, Im so new, Im still wet.... *L*
