    Cool casts, to clean off the plaster you can also lukewarm water with a drop of white vinegar.

    Hi Mark.
    Excellently produced 👌. Your instructions were very easy to follow, and you've even convinced me to have a go again. When I last tried, it keep going wrong, I ended up with a box full of broken molds which looked like the contents of a skip at a demolition site!
    Stay safe mate, kind regards GWR

      Trick is to get the mixture right and wet the moulds with a water with a couple of drops of rinse aid in it.

    I like the brick finish especially, once the initial purchase is made it becomes cost effective, especially if you get a few commissions to sell

      Its very handy once you have the moulds and a bag of plaster you can build all sorts of buildings.

    The windows in Linka are designed to be weak (and can be knocked out), especially if you scrape the tiles flush when the cast is just setting. You can then glaze them and do lighting or add curtains or a room scene behind. You can also enhance the glazing by using printed patterns, I actually have a free download on my website, so you can print them yourself! www.lumsdonia.co.uk/shop.html

      Hi TimberSurf I am hoping to cover that in another video. Thanks for the info.

    Hello Mark, I came over to part 1 after watching part 2. Many questions I had were answered. Another clear and concise tutorial. I do have one question however. In the archival footage in the intro you show what we in America called Rail buses. What year was that footage from? Thanks in advance for your reply. See ya.

      Its a Donegal Railway Railcar from the late 1950's. Donegal was the first to use the combustion engine for passenger transport in western Europe with the introduction of Railcar No1 in 1906

    The reopening of the Western Rail Corridor would prevent Car Accidents, Road Deaths, Pollution & Traffic Jams in bordering counties including Donegal.

    Crystical R is even better than herculite..its more expensive but worth it

      Will have to try it.

      It's very good at capturing detail..I use it all the time for castings. Mbfg fibreglass is the best place to get it
