I enjoy teaching a clinic at the NGRC on magic sculpt. This year in the Bay area I was asked to do the clinic twice. I decided to build a new structure and to incorporate several different
ROCK/BRICK/BLOCK techniques to demo in the clinic. I wanted to build a structure with a multi -level so I could incorporate the structure on one of my mountains. I also wanted to use a structure made from 1/8" acrylic. I incorporate wooden blocks for the corners. I incorporate both Lexel Glue and epoxy glue, This structure will set outside full time.
I own a laser so I cut all my parts with a laser, make all the windows and doors, and stairs
Starting to place the magic sculpt, creating large stone at the bottom
Completed the top part of wall, this is what it looks like before I have laid out the stone lines
The Bakery hand painted sign, is magic sculpt on a 1/32" acrylic, the MS was placed on then textured and then the brick was laid out. Let dry then painted by hand. I used to use the white colored MS, when I start to paint it, the first color was to paint it a dark brown or a dark gray. Then start using the lighter colored paint. Now they sell this brown MS on Amazon, since I start off with a dark color I decided to try brown MS. Now after trying it I prefer it. The starting of white coloring can be seen at the top of the picture.
