It's just a generic name for something like "Scuptamold" ie. a mix of mostly Plaster and paper pulp.

Ah so what are you doing with it ?

It's for smoothing out hills etc...and making uneven landform without the need for endless sanding of blue foam. ie. rather than cutting and sanding bits off a stepped hill to get a natural gradient you fill in the gaps to build it up to a smooth slope.

Oh nice. Would appreciate some WIP pics if you can be bothered !

No Problem, I have a scatter hill, ruined temple and part of a refurb in progress board that will get the most compound

Just about finished my Saxons for Dux Britanniarum they're just awaiting the metallic colours and basing. It will be nice having the matched pair.

Back on the 42mm to get the last ones done before November. Though there's a lot of cavalry still. Currently on with Bavarians.

Sounds like a job for a litre of wallpaper paste and a copy of the Sunday Times (other newspapers are available)

I have just six 42mm left unpainted, then i'm done with that army! I might manage that by November.

Time to get another Brigade done
