Good call, far too regular as it is.

Yeah. By and large I only use raw mdf kits like this as a base for further work

Really impressed with the Greenstuff World roller. This is still wet, expect the detail to crisp up as it dries

Looking good. I used the Greenstuff World cobblestone roller on my castle and was very pleased with the results. One thing I think works well though is manually adding more details around windows.

Polyfilla? That's looking good but I agree with Shaz, the windows need some additional stonework.
Those Greenstuff World rollers are damn useful, I may want a lot more (roll on Crisis).

did you see what I did there? Did you? I'm here all week, try the chicken legs
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Yup. Ordinary polyfilla. Roller must be moist (ooh matron!) or it pulls the filler off the model. VB, the roller is from a company called Greenstuff World 😂🤣

I’m not sure. I might add some later as the churches I’ve seen so far don’t have lintels or ledges. I might go back and add once the main body is dry. Undecided.

It's more that there are usually edging stones to create the window surround. The Supreme Littleness cottage uses embossed greyboard for window surrounds and corner stonework. It works very well, but it would be quite a bit of additional work.
