Hornby Modelling Rock

Recommended Posts

Hey guys. For the past couple of years now, I have been looking forward to using Hornby Modelling Rock and yesterday I found out that it had been discontinued. I checked everywhere on the web from Amazon to ebay and it was nowhere. Could you tell me if there is anywhere where I can buy it or if there is something like it coming out.

 

thanks, Bob12345

I bought a roll 150mm x 80m 4 years ago, can't remember how much I paid. Still have about a third left and although the label says use within a year I used some last week and it's still fine. If you know roughly the area you will be covering I would suggest multiplying by 3 to work out how much bandage you need, that's actually two layers but with overlaps. So for 2m2 of landscaping buy 6m2, if 150mm wide that would need 40m long. I wouldn't say it's expensive, but certainly not cheap, the great Auction site has rolls of 150mm x 80m for under £30 [search for modroc]. Based on my experience unless you're really sure you will need all that buy a smaller quantity. Having said that I think I ended up putting three or more layers down but that was because I had so much bandage spare, I have often spread a thin layer of plaster/filler over the bandage.

Did just that yesterday for £23.99 via Amazon.

Aren't all Parisiennes plastered?  :-)

Sorry to step in here as a cunning linguist, 2 Erics, but "parisiennes" are female. Male inhabitants are "parisiens." So, if you wish to refer to male and female occupants of Paris, you should still use the male version.

Right on. As I said earlier, this is the cheapest and also very efficient way of doing it. But I prefer textiles to paper. Old towels, old table cloths, bedsheets, whatever. Better if they are cotton though.

Cheers
