ON-LINE HOW TO CLINICS
HOW TO CLINICS
Here are a bunch of my on-line how to work with Hydrocal mini-clinics.
Each kit includes specific instructions of course- and there are lots of ways
to do things, but here are my thoughts, tips and techniques.
Coloring BRICK
My traditional techniques for coloring and mortaring brick.
Coloring STONE
With a little practice you can color realistic stone walls. Here's how I do it.
What are we going to do now that Testors/Floquil has dropped their Flo-Stains?
Coloring CONCRETE
A little gray ink wash and some colorants. It's not that difficult.
SCRATCH-BUILDING STOCK
Standard Common Brick- fine
If you like to scratch-build or just want to practice before you do, check out my
stock castings. These are the same building blocks I use to create my kits.
Hand-Carved Stone-
I have three different grades available. Use as retaining walls, cut them up
for foundations, or make whole new buildings.
Cinder Block Wall
Mix it up a bit and you'll have an even more interesting building.
Concrete Retaining Wall
Whole 4" x 8" panels of the stuff. Use them for retaining walls, foundations,
even make complete buildings like I have.
COMPLEMENTARY KITS
Apple Storage and Packing Houses
This is the big brother to these smaller kits- After building it I decided
maybe I should make some smaller ones.
Orange Storage and Packing Houses
A customer was considering using one of my apple houses for oranges. Why not?
So I changed the artwork, recipies and labels-
