Used in the SFX industry. I use it all the time. It paints quite nicely, cures in 5 minutes, and you can paint it with just about anything. Also, it can be tinted easily with So-Strong pigment from Smooth-On. It's an off white to begin with. Almost a tan. You could dry brush it with brown acrylic and have at it. It drills well if you're careful while drilling, and is pretty tough. It's cheaper than the stuff you can get from TPI. You can get it from Monster Makers. If you'd like, I can snap a few photos of pieces I have at work tomorrow. Would love to see a few pics. How does it hold the paint though? The reason I don't want to do these in resin is that sooner or later the paint ribs off. The Dry Stone I use seems to hold up nicely.
