I could have sworn I kept a piece of white foamcore for the houses. At least the spackle helps.
I extracted a big blob (technical term) of spackle and tinted it as suggested. Its a little paler than I would have liked but makes it a good base for the green base paint.
Work continues, battle on the weekend is the latest expectation.

I look forwards to your Battle on the weekend. These are lovely figures to own- so much variety.
ReplyDeleteThanks, about 1/3 are my own originals which makes them even more special to me.
DeleteI had to check what "spackle" was! Slap on a load of spackle and the walls looked roughly plastered / distressed (much like my attempts at home decorating or modelling-making!)
ReplyDeleteI wondered and speculated for years, decades! Finally Lepage put a sublabel "spackling compound" on their Polyfilla.
DeleteSurely rock and roll rather than spackle, go ask Alice...
ReplyDeleteYes I think she'll know.
DeleteSo that's what 'spackle' is ! - good old 'polyfilla' - I am enlightened !
ReplyDeleteAccording to the new label its a "spackling compound". Seems there is a technical difference due to being cellulose rather than gypsum based. (Yes hab to look that up)
DeleteAnd the 2020 Architecture Prize goes to......
ReplyDeleteSomeone other than me!
Delete"Polyfilla" is about as opaque to us Yanks as Spackle is to you! :-)
ReplyDeleteSometimes the border is wider than it looks. :)
