    Brilliant. I use spackle all the time on mini bases. Hadn't thought about it on my stucco buildings.

    Superb work! "Spackle"! Hilarious! It is called "filler" here in the UK!

    I think it comes from the German “Spachtel” meaning spatula, the thing you use to smooth it into cracks in the wall.

    Nice work Travis, similar to how I did mine, but I prefer how you did the spackle and the sand. I put on a much heavier layer of spackle, yours is definitely a quicker way.

    It would probably work ok just water the spackel down a bit more and use fine grain sand

    This looks really good! I've never really known what to do to make MDF look good, this process works great for that style. Have you ever tried oil paint washes? It'll be way cheaper than agrax & has some great flowing & drying properties

    I saw most of these buildings in your Battle of Cielo Monteca and immediately fell in lust with them. I've put in a letter to Santa in hopes of seeing some of it under my Christmas tree. Did you order from the UK or do you have a US source? BTW, lovely to see another (but much more creative) 'lefty' at work. Your videos and games are a true joy and inspiration! Thanks!

    Many companies have a 20mm MDF range (Sarissa, for example) but I find they’re often grossly underscale and look better alongside 15mm figures. Am currently putting together some 28mm MDF Mediterranean buildings for my 20mm Italian Wars and Napoleonic armies - will be interesting to see how that looks!
