I've seen this on here somewhere but can't for the life of me find it!! I have some plasterboard/Gyproc and am wanting to make a wall from it.

Any help or a link to the link would be helpful..


Thanks
Paul.

Very simple...peal the paper off to expose the plaster. You may need to sand the paper away also. Once you have the paper off, then you can shape, chip, carve, the wall the way you want it. It is very easy to weather also. washes/pastels do the job. I will post a photo later of my made walls out of plasterboard.

Paul...I have posted a few pics of a wall on the member galleries photos under "kemo". Hope this helps

Thanks for that guys, I hope my wall t did you use to make the bullurns out half as good as yours Kemo, what did you use to make the bullet holes?

If you soak the wall board in water the paper will come off relatively easy. You can work the gypsum portion easier when it is wet also (carve details etc)

Cheers,
Charles

Paul...for the holes...I just took my x-acto blade and worked it in by twisting. It's pretty simple. Good luck.

Ok, done the walls for my house in my dio, what is the best way to connect them? Thought I might try using something like no-nails??

I use white glue to connect plaster walls together. Some also use wooden pins/dowels to add strength. You basically drill matching holes in both pieces, stick wooden pins and then glue both pieces together. I find the dowel method tricky because you have to make sure that holes light up very precisely.

O, got the building built! Just need to paint/detail etc.



Hope this image comes out!

Any comments etc gratefully accepted.

Ok so I had a bit of an accident with the original building, (dropped it) so I had to recreate a new front.

Here it is complete with door and wood frame, also the door has bullet holes in it (in red circle) not sure if these can be seen properly.
