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?
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.
COMPLEMENTARY KITS
The Safety Hook & Ladder Co.
Brick Firehouse
How about this little two-story firehouse? It's the prefect introduction to
Hydrocal brick structures. If you are afraid to tackle the larger kits why not
start here? You will find that Hydrocal modeling is lots of fun and not that
difficult to master.
The Stone Shingle Mill
is a great introduction to modeling stone in Hydrocal. This is one of my personal
favorites, and indeed, one of my most popular kits.
