Hi All,

Not really sure how to fix this problem so I thought i'd ask you guys and gals.
I recently moved house and in transit one of the walls of my Minas Tirith set has come into contact with something and taken one of the bricks out.

Could anyone help recommend ways of fixing it so it looks like the rest of the wall?

Kind Regards

The first step will be to fill the void. I would use tissue paper. Soak the tissue paper in white glue. Then push small wads into the void until it is filled. The white glue and paper will dry hard. Use a bit of filler,dry wall mud is best, and texture the surface. Something like an old tooth brush will help match that texture.
Pre-mixed Dry wall mud is best. Products for filling nail holes in drywall are harder to use. Dry wall patch is an option.

Not the nicest of fixes, but from a distance you wouldn't even tell.

Looks good! Luckily, Old Man Willow is one of the handiest chaps around when it comes to terrain. You had just the right kind of help! :)
