I posted earlier requesting advice on my external rendering I know its here somewhere just waiting for someone to share their knowledge.when I was at plastering college we had all the plebs off the dole being forced onto a training course so they could still claim their money.we only had time to do a little on external rendering.I am not trying to scam free info out of anyone for a diy job as I am in the trade

That's the idea yes don't really do external but as its my own house you just have to don't you.I fixed 10mm beads to blockwork for my scratch-coat so that I have a nice uniform thickness and. Then kinda screeded it with feather edge even if I say so myself it looks good so far

Dont use beads mate
you sound like you have it all sussed and are on the forum looking for a pat on the back.
most of the spreads i know would not consider you "in the trade"but good luck with that. learning ratios of mixes are as important as the trowel you own.
it takes years to learn and its a tad arrogant of you to suggest otherwise.

yeah mate basically you just get some render, chuck it all on, like the whole side. give it an hour or 2 to pick up a bit then throw stones at it. like kebab said, its just render and stones.....
