I have wanted to build a scene using foam board or some time but couldn't find the same board that the builders in the books used. i tried one or two and hit on this un-named board at Hobbycraft. Messing around with a small heat gun crazed the surface in a random pattern and a few swipes with some burnt umber oil paint wiped off immediately emphasised the surface. A light grey paint did the same for the larger example. I made a wooden sign and weathered that and a drain pipe which is a little rusty ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . The drain pipe wall is 300 x 160 mm This inspired me to buy Emmanuel Nouallier's fantastic book which is a remarkable adventure in life-like modelling of buildings etc. Here's a few pics of my experiments and once I get some more foam board it's off to workbench to have a proper go!!! as ever thanks for looking in. bill ![](https://i.ibb.co/0nYmGRs/WP-20190607-001.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/vkH8jVP/WP-20190607-002.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/N6gZ4jZ/WP-20190607-003.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/LgjgSKd/WP-20190607-004.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/X8zLjhV/WP-20190607-005.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/3B1QRQK/WP-20190607-006.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/BBxkBVQ/WP-20190607-007.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/nC7dPL9/WP-20190607-008.jpg)
