These resin sheets are a little too stiff for that. Even Gerhart here isn't so sure about it.

I'm planning to post them on the Cold Basement site for $15. There's 2.5 ounces of resin in each copy. But they'll look nice once painted. Just the sort of thing to fill what's left of the upstairs bedroom in your latest smashed up MiniArt building. :)

Paint applied to outside.

It's still too "flat". Most of my research shows that mortar tends to take on the color of the stones around it. But in a scale model I think a dark grey/black mortar will look better overall, even if it's not the most common color in the real world.

The house has been glued down. There's more to do. But the landscaping is at a point requiring the house to be fixed.

Filled the empty spaces with acrylic caulk and airbrushed a red/brown to mix with the already dark grey.
