Review - Stone Texture Spray

Something a little different today. I've been looking around for a suitable sprayable texture and came across THIS from Plasti-kote, available in the UK (and perhaps elsewhere too). I grabbed a can of the stuff from a local hobby store (Hobby Craft) though I'm pretty sure that DIY stores carry this too (Such as B&Q). I was eager to try it out and show you lot the results! There's not much to say about the product really, its a sprayable texture that comes in a variety of colours which in theory means that you can get a range of different looks onto your terrain very quickly and easily.

Review - Amera Plastics Landing Pad & Craters

Amera Plastic Mouldings is a UK based company that produces plastic vacuum formed terrain kits. Some of these are single piece kits, but they also produce a range of multi-part models. Either way, all of their kits look incredibly reasonably priced so I was eager to get hold of some things to see what we are dealing with.

I decided to order some craters and a landing pad. Arriving well packaged and relatively speedily, both required a small amount of trimming. But nothing that a good pair of scissors couldn't sort out. If only I had a good pair of scissors!

Overall, I was very happy with the plastic moulding. My only criticism would be that some of their kits seem a little bit on the large size in terms of scaling... not by much, but enough for me to notice (though perhaps thats not fair considering my exacting eye).

However, their products are all very cost effective!

Considering the ease with which the craters can be cut and shaped, I have some ideas for how to use them, watch this space. I also have some very quick plans for painting the Landing Pad which involves the review of another product that some of you terrain builders might be interested in (assuming it comes out well!) So keep your eyes peeled.

Simples! If it's all this easy then I'll be sure to order from Amera Mouldings again! You can find them in my list of resources on the left hand side and by following the link at the start of this post.
