| Negative image of wall section |
I produced one wall section (pictured below) and started a second, the opposite wall, which is curing now. I plan to mold both of these two walls; right now I'm also waiting for the first layer of silicone to cure over the first wall section. My thought process is that with molds I can replicate two walls of the same dimensions en mass. Then I can vary the distance between these two walls on each building, avoiding a block of absolutely identical structures. Also, I've only scribed about 2/3 the panel lines I wanted to in the wall section before I molded it. That way whenever I pour new sections, I can scribe the panel lines differently for each, giving each wall its own character. Each building will have a unique roof section as well, created with the same technique.
So far the method is not the cheapest in terms of materials and time. I've been at it for a few hours and will end up using about half a tube of silicone for each wall section. Still, once the molds cure I can crank out buildings a little faster.
