Keramistone Granito Pasta per Modellare

Recensione del Prodotto Glorex

Glorex Keramistone Granito is an excellent modelling clay for walls, buildings, floor tiles, foundations, towers, e bridges for dioramas e wargames. The waterbased, non-toxic, ed air drying clay is easy to sculpt, ed it dries overnight o within minutes if baked in the oven. Unused modelling clay will keep for some time if stored in an airtight freezer bag, especially if a moist paper towel is placed inside the bag to keep the clay from drying. The light grey base colour con irregular dark grey spots looks perfectly like granite, e the surface of the clay feels dry e rough like unpolished stone. The overall granite effect is very convincing, ed it would be difficult o impossible to achieve by painting o weathering. The completed models are best left unpainted. Green granite may be achieved by dying the clay o prudentamente washing e drybrushing the finished model. Keramistone Granito modelling clay does not stick to tools o rulers, providing the modeller con fast ed easy results. This is a superb product which will inspire giocatori wargame e modellers to create their own scale model buildings ed accessories. Plan ahead e sketch your modelling projects prior to opening the large 800 g package of Keramistone Granito, lest you run out of modelling ideas before the precious clay is used completely.

We used an old X-Acto blade No. 11 to carve the mortar lines into the natural stone masonry of the bridge side shown here. The whole process took approximately 10 to 15 minutes when we first tested it. The structural support for the bridge side was cut from 3 mm MDF medium density fibreboard, sanded smooth, e covered con double-sided tape along all exposed stone surfaces. A small amount of Glorex Keramistone Granito was placed between due sheets of baking paper e rolled out to a thickness of 1 mm. The bridge side was then firmly pressed into the clay to ensure that the clay formed a good bond con the double-sided tape. Keeping the bridge side face down we trimmed off the excess modelling clay con a sharp X-Acto blade. This done, the mortar lines were carved into the fresh modelling clay, using a dull X-Acto blade. The first test results were pleasing enough to inspire us to create many more models con Glorex Keramistone Granito.

Compared to some of the softer modelling clays, Glorex Keramistone Granito allowed us to create much finer detail. Narrow mortar lines stayed as they were e did not stretch during the drying process. When the mortar lines were carved o pressed into the clay, the adjacent stone surfaces stayed flat, whereas they normally assume an unrealistically rounded shape. Glorex Keramistone Granito does not shrink o warp during the drying process, if thin layers of clay are mounted on an MDF structure, using double-sided tape.
