Childrens toy blocks.
This project is coming on very nicely. I am kind of embarrassed at the cardboard stand in building I made whilst waiting for some MDF buildings to arrive.
Thanks!
Here is the second building’s shell:
As per feedback I have narrowed the door a plank.
On a different topic I was asking about blue/pink insulation foam.
It seems to be very much the best material for making hills and rocks and stuff but is not super easy to come by.So I had a look at cheap easy alternatives.
I have found that Hobbycraft sell those green foam bricks for flower arranging.
This big brick was a mere £1.00.Impressions?
OMG you only have to look at it and it starts to crumble.
It is a doddle to cut with a sharp knife.
Due to its crumbly nature you can smooth sharp lines and edges with your finger just by gently rubbing it.
So, easy to work with, but uber crunmbly.Here are some shots that show it and my test menhir.
I cut it, smoothed it and then coated it with neat PVA using a very soft brush.
Once dry (not long these things are like sponges) I did another coat.
Then painted, ink washed and did some quick drybrushing.All in all not too bad looking and with the pva, much more durable.
The Brick
Stone with PVA on it
Finished stone
So it is a bit more fiddly to use, but here at least it is much more affordable, easier to get hold of and produces and acceptable result.
It is almost ridiculously soft – not in the sense that it “bounces back” like a sponge, but in the sense that even a slight bit of pressure will make the pores collapse permanently and leave an indentation.
Yup

So the plan for the 15mm website is to launch small and then build up if sales warrant.
The plan is still to have three buildings, some huts and a campsite thingy pack.
the last of the three buildings is done.
It is, I think you will agree the most dull, but its lack of unique features makes it the most versatile, I suggest buying no less than 5 of these when you order!! 😀
Second building has had a test cast, that is two of the three so far:
They are monsters compared to the 6mm I do.
My question is (I have been looking around but value your feedback) what sort of price would you expect to pay for these?
Just the basing to do and the heroes are done.
I have to say, it is really nice that I found two figures that look just like Samantha and myself.😀
“Erland”. That’s such an old-timer, tame-sounding name in modern Swedish culture, a bit like “Clement” or “Eugene” or “Vernon” in Anglophone culture
“Eydis” sounds cool though.
No prizes for guessing what inspired the first scenario I will be playing!
