RE castle rescources

I am trying to figure out how to eminate the stone walls (inner and outter)
without making the whole structure too heavy.
Any suggestions...I am having a hard time finding the right scale.

There is a paper type clay that they sell in craft shops. Like that junk we
made in first grade with newspaper. Paper mache is the term to look for. It
can be painted or if you are industrious and want to save pennies,
newspaper, water and if I recall, cornstarch. If I am wrong I am sure
someone will be more than happy to correct me.

How about using legos then painting it grey?

Or, sheets of Styrofoam can be carved to look like stacked blocks of
stone, then sprayed with paint. Just make sure it's the type of
styrofoam that doesn't melt when painted.

Try "paper clay". It is available at most craft shops. It is the
produce used by Rik Pierce when he makes his fabulous projects. Check
out his websiet at www.frogmorton.com. You'll be amazed.

You can paint styrofoam with acrylics with no worry about melting. It
can be brushed or sprayed through an airbrush.
