Slaymaker's random desert brick building

I know...it is a possibility. I want to damage it in some way too...maybe put a hole on the top floor for a sniper to "shoot" through... some sort of bomb blast marks on a side wall too...lots of ideas...not sure how to pull them off.
Just look around for pictures of buildings, and try to mimic the damage. Use an old steak knife to cut hole, notches and the like in the blocks. Remember though, less is more.
here's an idea. take spackle, mix tan paint in it and some sand as well. apply it in the cracks and wipe with a wet rag or wet finger. or the caulk idea would work, like obi said, cut the tip small so only a lil comes out, cut on a 45 degree angle. smooth out the bead with a wet finger.
the spackle and sand would look more natural, plus if you fill any pores, you could always wash it out, as caulk will fill them and you would be stuck with it after it dries.
personally, i would take spackle, sand , and tan paint and mix up a bit in a bowl and apply with a tooth pick or something in that nature.
Great dio piece Slay.
Thanks guys! I never added in the mortar as I figured it would look wrong sticking out instead of being set in and likely way out of scale since the mortar lines are usually smaller than the width of a persons finger. I still need to dirty up the building and add some battle damage - but I wanted to get it up off the floor so I added it to a shelf and threw some figures on there...
