I used to use spackle (as its called in the US) Which is putty for covering small holes in the wall. It is cheap and probably as robust as putty. Lay down the thinnest coat possible then use an x-acto razor saw blade or broken hacksaw blade to make the columns of the zimmerit. If you make a mistake before it dries it is easy to remove the spackle and redo. Dries hard and can be sanded.

quick way to do zimmerit, I made it for the zimmerit on my elefant. It's the brass gear cog from a Heng Long motor.
