With that in mind, I spent a lot of time thinking about the exterior of the building. I thought about layering the tower in paper squares to simulate stone blocks. Instead, I thought I'd try something different. I put some spackling paste ($3) into a bowl with a bit of Elmer's glue ($1). The mixture was sticky, yet still viscous.<img src="http://www.iridiazine.net/misc/tower6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />I smoothed the mixture onto the tower. I spread it all over the surface, the dabbed at it to create a textured look. This technique can also be used to simulate plaster. When it dries, I will sand it down. I'm hoping that when I'm done, it will look like stone that has been sculpted and warped with magical energy to form a  tower. I guess you could say that I'm going for more of a fantastic that realistic appearance. <img src="http://www.iridiazine.net/misc/tower7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
