Hi Im new and I was was looking at some of the dios and I was wondering if anyone ever used or if u could use left over sheetrock for buildings. You could cut or a clean look it or break it for a rough look for the wrecked building in Normandy during WWII. If u broke it it would have a chalky crushed brick look and u could cut it to where u can get pieces of wood coming out for the frame and such and i can paint it too. I was just wondering about this b/c me and my dad are redoing our bathroom and we have some left over 1/2'" sheetrock left over and I though of maybe using it for building and was wondering if any1 else tried this or if would even work at all. Thanks

Been using it for years-works great. Go to the "search" option (upper right hand side on home page) and type in "Drywall" for more info and a couple of "How To" threads. Welcome to the family.
