Not another Burrows & Badgers project
Shrew-zerker
I got the shrew-zerker painted during hobby night live. I put plenty of WIP pics up on the hobby night thread so won’t duplicate here but I do have some pics of how I made the base.
I thought the shrew would look good stood on a rock. I would normally just use small real rocks for basing but as I would need to pin the shrew’s feet for strength I decided it would be best to cast my own from resin.
1st job was to find a suitable looking rock to fit the base!
Once I had chosen my rock I made a mould using blue stuff. Blue stuff is malleable after soaking in hot water so I could form it around my rock then remove the rock when cooled.
After talking the mould I mixed up some casting resin and poured it in.
Ready to de-mould after an hour. It has taken the details well.
Here you can see it after being glued to the base. The blue stuff becomes malleable again in hot water so I can either keep it as it is or use it again to cast something else. 
The finished shrew after the base has been painted and static grass tufts added.
