3D-printed FDM model of cut stone blocks to make loding dock walls and platform edges. Prototype documented in Ålberga, Platform photo Digitalt museeum UMFA53247:1058

Loding dock walls were often three stones high, but for sure there are variation. One package contiains 42 stones in 8 lenghts 4.6 to 20.7, respresenting prototype dimensions of 400-1800 mm. 4.6 mm high and 4.25 mm thick. Four stones of each lenght and one of each with strucured short end to enable corners. Two 11.5 slanted stones included to build slanted paltform edges. Togally this will give you more than 500 mm platform egde. Lay our wall with CA-glue as mortar, for extra realims do not make tha wall flat, misplace some stones a few tenth of a millimeter, the walls were seldom flat, espesially when they got old. To give wider joints stirps of paper can be put between the stones 

Painting suggestion:  Mixed dgreya tones, a black wash will enhance the details and some green vegitation in the gaps will increasethe realism. The fine detail of the model requires thin coats, we recommend airbrushing, but brush painting with thinned paint can be done. We recommend a primer before final painting, our favourite is Tamiya rattle can primer, but you might have your own favourite. Decreasing is recommended before paining, lukewarm water with a few drops of dishwasher liquid will do the job. Let the washed parts dry thoroughly before painting. Burr and flash from the production process may occur and can easily be removed with a scalpel or sanding.

One package contains 42 stones mixed sizes, unpainted
