Ok, i've not seen this published here before, so here goes. I was walking thru my local ACE hardware, just killing time, and i happen to look up and saw these color putties for wood. No real surprise till i saw they had white. So i wondered, would this work on a mortar for a building? 2.00 later i had my jar of putty. <br />I took it home to try on a piece of DPM wall material that i have. This stuff has great base relief so it should work well. I painted it Tamiya Hull Red about a week ago, and today opened up the putty and gave it a shot. Using my finger, i dabed a very small amount on the end of my finger and proceeded to rub it in. First off the control is excelent, you really can work it into the nocks and crannies. After i was satified i took a red shop rag and proceeded to skim the surface, leaving most of it in the cracks. I think the effect is great. I intend to let it dry for a few days and give it a wash of india ink/acholol to tone it down a bit. <br />For 2 bucks its worth a shot. <br />Bill <br />[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v29/crossracer/Picture754.jpg [/img] <br />[img] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v29/crossracer/Picture756.jpg[/img] <br />
