Christmas houses?
the ''Kroozr'' mentioned in passing :
N scale is a very small scale, you're making tiny houses, wouldn't using templates go faster and be more practical than making molds? Depends on what you mean by templates. I have done quite a lot of minature carving in plaster and clay to make flat molds for ceramic jewerly and decorations, so I am not really new to that part. But assembling parts to make something is less familiar. I have only made a few multipart molds, and I have never had to put parts of clay together. So, what do you mean by templates? -- Bill DeWitt Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all- the apathy of human beings. - Helen Keller |

Ah, all this talk of the north so near to Christmas. Although I
consider myself to be mostly English my surname is derived from the Sami of Lapland and for years I've been telling my kids that we're related to Santa. Andy |

Christmas houses?
Ah ha! Hi again Bill, I've made and worked with very small plaster
moulds for slip casting (mostly miniature teapots); eventualy I had to conclude that the best way to make such work is to use a multitude of forming techniques keeping each one as simple as possible and from them different assemblages giving an infinite variety(e.g. simple one or two part slip or press moulds with small extruded parts and details added).
