Recently put the finishing touches to one of Sarissa’s small houses for North America for my AWI collection. As with all MDF buildings a little bit of embellishment goes a long way to break away from that distinctive MDF ‘look’ and give a building a unique character. I’ve made use of a few extras such as laser cut roof tiles and brick embossed wallpaper. There’s a tutorial here if you want to follow the build in more detail https://thetacticalpainter.blogspot.com/2021/10/28mm-house-with-stone-chimney-for-awi.html

</noscript>I’ve found wood filler very handy – it sticks to the MDF fine and is a bit rougher that plaster filler. With time, you could cover the chimney stack and carve the brick work into it (thought it would be more stone like) but I mainly used it for wattle and daub buildings where the gritty texture works fine!

Nice idea. Before using the wallpaper I did contemplate sticking small aquarium pebbles on the chimney and then filling with plaster. The good thing about the wallpaper is how much easier it is (and less messy!).
