Andy gave a workshop on creating 1:25 textures in foamboard. Or rather, the snazzy expensive foamboard, the name of which escapes me. As made obvious by the photo, the task was to create a section of brick wall with a plaster coating. We peeled the top layer of paper from the foam in a haphazard manner, trying to resemble chipped and crumbled plaster. Once this was complete I scored a accurately scaled brick pattern into the foam, and picked out random bricks. I them applied fine surface filler to the remaining paper cover, making sure not to get any on the brick pattern.
Once the plaster was dry, I mixed up a brickish colour using acrylic paints, and lightly coated the bricks, trying not to get any into the scored cracks that represented the mortar. I then used a green colour for the main body of plaster, leaving the edges, and small patches white to recreate the chipped away sections.
I'm very proud!
