My immediate ...Interesting reading those comments. My immediate reaction was that the stones were large but then I was trying to envisage the sandstone walls of my school which were huge (though less regular). The formal walls on the other hand did have huge regular stones which were about a foot high: perhaps more. Overall though I think those stones do seem overlarge. How do they compare with the stone walls in your area though?GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-19930648711275534682014-03-22T09:45:13.693+00:002014-03-22T09:45:13.693+00:00That tool does look really interesting and useful....That tool does look really interesting and useful. I wonder how well it would work on the printed papers though or if it would be likely to cause tearing? I had originally intended to go the DAS clay route for the wall, but using the same papers as the factory seemed like a better idea, even if it was flat. If I could introduce some texture though then that would be a definite improvement.<br /><br />You're also right about the height of the stones. Given the height of the wall each course is over a foot in height which is definitely overkill for such a wall, although it would blend in nicely with the surrounding buildings using the same stone. Then again maybe the stones are two big in general.<br /><br />Well at least I got the height of the wall and the plastruct topping sorted out.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-86930759445205373812014-03-21T22:30:17.195+00:002014-03-21T22:30:17.195+00:00Printed stone can look a bit flat, some embossing ...Printed stone can look a bit flat, some embossing would help bring out texture. I noticed a nice little tool on Phil Parker's blog which would be just the job: http://philsworkbench.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/double-ended-embossing-tool.html<br /><br />I'd choose a print with smaller stones as well, those above look huge for a wall. The height looks to be about right, and you could always add railings on top as well for added security.Paul B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05278773151546187084noreply@blogger.com
