sdw7300 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I've used it a lot. jpg418.jpg Inset_track_line_h.jpg Feature23r.jpg Best stock up! Andy Apologies for replying to a several month old post, but the second pic looks like it's from a step by step guide. Did you do a write up for this? If so could you point me the right direction? The cracking and tire marks look really effective. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickon Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I see they also do a Plastikote Stone texture in various colours. Has anybody tried it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Whereas Suede gives a finish like fine abrasive paper, Stone has a much more coarse texture. The finish is slightly lumpy. I've never found a modelling use for it, maybe others have. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Whereas Suede gives a finish like fine abrasive paper, Stone has a much more coarse texture. The finish is slightly lumpy. I've never found a modelling use for it, maybe others have. During the "drought" when Suede was unavailable, I purchased a can of the Plasikote stone effect paint. As Arthur says, nothing like it at all... very lumpy indeed. The one use that I could perhaps see for it would have been an unmade dirt road. It would have needed plenty of weathering to give it the right colour, but even then the largest "lumps" would have represented small boulders. I gave it a miss in the end. About a year later, I found the little test piece of plastic sheet that I'd used the stone paint on. With nothing better to do, I sanded it back with various grades of sandpaper, starting with a quite coarse 60 grit. A few minutes work and it would have made a good representation of render, so I may hang onto the can and try that on a building one day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Unfortunately under IATA rules , aerosols of paint are considered " dangerous goods " and not to be carried I believe in hold or carry on Ah. Thanks Rob. I didn't know that. From British Airways (below) but I'm assuming all airlines adhere to the same policy. It looks like I needn't have feared the rubber gloves at destination, the paints would just have been confiscated at departure. Plan B...? Forbidden from both hold and cabin. Explosives and flammable substances and devices that can be used (or appear capable of being used) to cause serious injury or to pose a threat to the safety of an aircraft, are completely forbidden, including: ammunition (unless we've approved carriage - see guidance for guns, firearms and ammunition) blasting caps detonators and fuses replica or imitation explosive devices mines, grenades and other explosive military stores fireworks and other pyrotechnics, e.g. Chinese lanterns, party poppers/sparklers, etc. (see guidance for Christmas crackers below) smoke-generating canisters or cartridges dynamite, gunpowder and plastic explosives petrol lighter fuel, lighter refills, 'Strike anywhere' matches, 'Blue flame' or 'Cigar' lighters (see guidance for cigarette lighters and safety matches below) paints (excl. water-based artist paints or artists' oil paints), solvents, varnish, etc. liquid oxygen systems (see guidance for oxygen cylinders required for medical use) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 No worries . It's not always apparent what is allowed and what isn't . I've just done a DG renewal , we currently have a lot of head scratching over lithium / lithium ion batteries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
