Can anyone point me in the right direction for scratch building 1/35 building walls? I'm going to be making a WWII Dio in Cassino, Italy and would prefer to build the structure myself. Thanks.

check the forum for Dry-wall / plasterboard posts...

I've tried this technique if youv'e got the patience then it may pay off!!

Have fun...

Thanks Paul, how do I gewt ther?

Hi Dan. See the links for some ideas on how to do plaster walls and cork walls.
The cork wall here is for 1/16 figures, but change the measurements and the method can be used the same for 1/35
Building a base for a 1/16 scale figure
Cork is my preferred method now ... see both these

Thanks Frank, that's sweet!!!

Many, many years ago(when I was still new to modelling) I found that cardboard covered with plaster or dap putty works very well. You can either buy bricks from a hobby store or make your own from either corkboard or wet foam. Cut the cardboard to the general height and width you want. Cut out any windows, doors, or damaged areas. For damaged areas, use your "bricks" carving them to fit. They can be secured with almost any glue. I believe I used Elmar's white glue to attach them. Lay a coat of plaster over one side and let dry. Flip it over and do the same to the other side. It sounds simple, but it creates a realistic wall. Hope this helps.

Also have a look at balsa foam (or even insulation foam). I've not tried it yet but the results seem amazing.

Just pour some plaster in a cookie sheet pan, dry and cut to what size you want, break up as desired. Scribe your stone or brick pattern, cut out doors and windows and paint.

Hey Dan,

Just want to say that I just recently saw the PM you sent me, and I've answered you there! Sorry it took me so long!
