I mix my Ultracal 30 by eye too, but use the ‘glass sheet’ method so while the pieces are often a range of different tones, they’re usually fairly regular.

I’m just thankful it’s only the small gothic windows that seem to have an issue because there’s not really that many of them in the building.

Yes, I must finish this building! Even if just to get all the loose Hirst Arts bricks out of my way!

I do like Bruce´s Work very much, but building such big pieces is a pain. It takes ages. I hope you can stand it since you built already a lot.

The Accuracy depends on the plaster as well. I did not mix very carefully so some stones were made with much more water. However finding the correct stone is always a challenge.

Good luck!

like a RL™ cathedral this seems a dauting and monumentous task.
