Pikestuff makes a plastic terracotta tile cap strip to go on tops of walls where you put on the sand texture to simulate it being finished with mortar. A lot of older brick buildings have terracotta tile to finish/cap the top of walls. Just a tip if you have any buildings you're gonna model that might need that detail. That is if you didn't know already. You could use that sand texture to paint a piece of square balsa wood to represent a cast concrete cap on top the wall too. 👍
Thanks for the tips. Monster Modelworks also makes a tile cornice strip in a couple of different widths. I tried these and thought the look was a little too formal. I'm modeling south central Colorado, and most of those buildings are finished informally. Thanks for watching!
@@rwissbaum9849 Yeah the area I'm modeling, 1930s-40s small towns in NC; doesn't even have the fancy brickwork on the top of the front walls. All most have is that tile on top of straight flat walls. Very informal and just the basics I guess you can say. I'll have to check out the tile cap strip from monster modelworks and see how it compares because there's a lot of buildings I'm gonna have to scratch build just as you are. 👍
Very nice. Our friend Luce sent me your link. You are doing a great job. I especially liked the video on the tank car upgrade that explained the brake system.
Beautifully done...
Looks really good! 👍
