Anyone ever use plaster of paris for building buldings? I used foam and caoted it with plaster of paris to achieve a rough looking piece of god knows what, hopefully with sanding I can turn it back into a nice looking piece (looked better in foam).

Just curious as to what other mediums are out there and their application.

When my project is done, I will post it.

My first attempt in mixing ended up a huge pile of chunky plaster (mixed plaster one to one with water and just added plater to thicken it, well, it thickened alright, I hope to have a generous pile of rubble if it ever hardens enough to use!

Second attempt was a lot better and actually was able to apply it to the foam structure. Hopefully tommorow I can sand it, Tuesday do the framing of doors and windows and Wednesday, paint it!

Anyway, babbled on enough, lets ee what you guys have to say about other mediums :)
