Hope you enjoy all of it.

It’s been a good long while since the last time I peeked into this thread, DM.
it was totally worth the wait!
This is one hell of an amazing build log! Details!
WOW!!!
Hey Bish,
!http://www.dawgshed.com/images/smilies/yesss.gifthat’s how I done it.
It’s all done in three sections. The road, the stone wall facing, and that block of styro glued on behind that wall.
It’s tricky to do !http://www.laie-smileys.com/rubik.gifbut it’s extremely cheap, simple and it has no significant weight at all.
For the wall:
On a thin piece of styro press down and slowly draw the wall out as you want with
!http://static6.depositphotos.com/1003098/572/i/110/depositphotos_5722075-Carpenters-pencil.jpg
a dulled-down carpenters pencil, then use a similar (dental) tool such as this (below) to deepen and enhance the crevices between the stones.
(this end)

Next it’s just a matter of imprinting some rough texture and painting the wall how you want it.
!http://static.diary.ru/picture/1979858.gifthe road works this way.
(The future will prevent it from crumbling as you cut it*)*
If it still starts to crumble, coat it again. Remember that after you slice it, you will have to coat it again if you use any paint that will be absorbed into those cuts and be invasive to the foam.
Test on scraps if you aren’t sure.
Now, if you think “that” is !http://www.animated-gifs.eu/category_emoticons/smilies-hairy-3/0001.gifhairy - just wait 'til you see what I’m adding next!http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/funny/2/upside-down-banana-smiley-emoticon.gif
!http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b232/gluetank/Animated/Disastermastermotion-3.gif
That looks amazing DM! Will have to give this a try, I think maybe I can build at least a small wall. If it works out maybe I’ll try a whole base like yours. [Y]
Ok I just got caught up on this and this is just fantazmagorical work.
That settles it I’ve got do my King Tiger from Dragon.
[:D]
I just KNEW there was a good reason to check back in over here, the D-Master is at it again! Super cool work, as usual!
Well, I’m not sure about the panzer (WTH do I know about tanks), but that terrain base is great! Excellent work.
Styrofoam is friendly to water-based solutions - remember to think it out and be diligent !http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/images/smilies/gc/gc-anxious.gifwhen using any medium on it.
Put a splash of laquer thinner on it
and watch it !http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/crysmiley1.gifdisappear .
Thank you Gamera…

Thank you Mike!
That’s an extremely encouraging observation.
Just like I told Bish, you’ll love the next addition that I’m presently digging up… !http://metaldetectingforum.com/images/smilies/Diggin_a_hole.gif.......coming soon.
!http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b232/gluetank/Animated/Disastermastermotion-3.gif
Well I haven’t moved except accross town. Never have time because of my job now. Drivin truck. Though I do build in the truck when I get the chance. Usually have a few kits with me and small box of tools.
Lookin good on the build.
Thanks for the heads up on doing the foam. I am definatly going to have to give that a try.
Thank you Mr Barrow !http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/exatera/smileys/smiley_positive.gif
Well, I must be doing something right to get such positive responses.

Alright, now back to where I left off…
…well?
Hmm, !http://solverbase.com/images/8/8f/Skype_hidden_Emoticon_idea.gifthat got me thinking…
!https://s.aolcdn.com/webmail-static/webmail/161116.1303/images/basic/spin.gif
I’ll build an old well for a bit more collateral interest.
So, using that same old white styro and a small slice of a foam composite (that’s used to pose artificial flowers) to serve as a concrete foundation - I built myself a weary looking semblance of a deserted well.
I’ll let the next 3 pictures tell the story…
!http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b232/gluetank/Porsche%20VK4502%20Vorne/WELL/PICT00271_zpslbroihel.jpg
…then some pixty dust.

Ummmm… more “POOF” needed…
(embellishment that is).
Needs some framework …
here’s what I used.
Next, I mixed it all up and added the ravages of war.
!http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/halloween/evil-witch.gif
Toothpick, paperclip, wood dowel and bead string
!http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b232/gluetank/Porsche%20VK4502%20Vorne/WELL/PICT0280_zpsyypb1uqr.png
Made me a dipper handle out of the minute hand of an old watch.
I used floral flower wire for the bucket handle
!http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b232/gluetank/Porsche%20VK4502%20Vorne/WELL/PICT0277.jpg_zpsk19beokw.png
The cup part of the dipper is some modified piece I found in my spares (scrap) box.
Any decent well needs a roof.
The business card serves as the sheathing.
Pretty much constructed like a real roof would be
!http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b232/gluetank/Porsche%20VK4502%20Vorne/WELL/PICT0003.jpg_zpsa1jzmerc.png
Coffee stir sticks for the framework and joists⬇
!http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b232/gluetank/Porsche%20VK4502%20Vorne/WELL/PICT0004.jpg_zpstth0xyv5.png
Wooden matches for the ends.
A ridge made from pie pan aluminum for the
crest of the roof and some improvised mini-nails.
!http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b232/gluetank/Porsche%20VK4502%20Vorne/WELL/PICT0007.jpg_zpssobgccj3.png
The shingles - plain old sandpaper.
!http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b232/gluetank/Porsche%20VK4502%20Vorne/WELL/PICT008.jpg_zps3rxez7hb.png
Had to dig out that hole again…
didn’t look right.
!http://metaldetectingforum.com/images/smilies/Diggin_a_hole.gif
All hand painted with folk art craft paints.
Here’s the result now in place.
!http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b232/gluetank/Porsche%20VK4502%20Vorne/WELL/Mini%20well_zpseovhkoe2.png
Finally mounted over that hole I been digging.
My next update will be getting back to
the main event.

Fine looking well DM, thanks again for pointing out you don’t need expensive resin aftermarket stuff when with a little elbow grease and ingenuity you can build your own! [:D[
