You can even combine many materials together. First get a pictire of a Castle, get several sheets of styrofoam, also some round and cone shaped styrofoam, modeling or polymer clay, Elmers glue. Assemble the styrofoam walls, buildings, towers, (the cones are for the spire’s on the towers) once the basic Castle is formed and built, now you can flatten the clay to about 1/8″ thick and cut many, many small squares to press on the styrofoam to make them look like stone blocks, for the spires, make them look like shale, (a stone roof) Once done allow clay to dry completely, then you can paint, (water based paint only) Use a small stencil br
