                        Everybody will probably say "I already knew that" , but just in case somebody's interested, I discovered years ago that drywall is perfect for making ruined WW II ruined european buildings. Easy to work with, and all you have to do is find a construction site and beg for scraps. Usually, you get enough to build 2 complete cities !!Big Smile [:D]

                        I have also found that drywall can be used to make cement tarmac.

                        Thanks for the update.

                        I'd peel the paper off of one side first, for the outside, then it should be perfect, at least for large, urban structures.

                        Being an electrician, I work with that stuff (we call it gyprock or plasterboard) all the time, and it never occured to me to use it for buildings. So even if everyone else says "I knew that", at least you've helped me.

                        Cheers,

                        Matt

                        Isn't it funny that we try to replicate something just to find out the real thing works best. LOL

                        Broken up stucco bits are great for realistic rubble, too. That's for those of you who live where there are stuccoed houses.
