You can use Milliput or Humbrol filler and use screwdrivers for the texture. There are also zimmerit tools on the market. Some folks use automotive putty also. Hope this helps.

Apoxie Sculpt works great for Zimmerit.
Gives you plenty of time to work with before it sets.

I like Milliput superfine grain.
And Modelkasten makes a set of Zimmerit rollers and stamps:

Before my break in modelling I would have used Cavalier zimmerit quite a bit. Have they ceased production?

Thank you all for taking the time to reply and to Forbes for linking the videos.
