From the bowels of Ker-Ys
Touching base part 2 or the thing I forgot in the last entry.
Realise I left out a bit in the last update. Oops.
This is regarding the bases seen in the last update. These were created differently than the flagstone ones.
If you recall the flagstone ones were made by applying and flattening the milliput to the base, wetting the putty and the mould and pressing the mould onto the miliput/base.
With things like rocks or objects that rise up a bit don’t put the milliput on the base. Instead get the mould, in this case some rock moulds I made again with bluestuff.
Wet the mould but don’t wet the milliput. Put a ball of milliput on the mould and press it in and flatten it as much as possible.
Then grab the base and press it firmly against the miliput in the mould. Gently peel the mould off.
The milliput will have stuck to the base and provided you wet the mould, it should come out very easily leaving you with a quick and easy scenic base.
Now just smooth the edges onto the base to help the transition from base to scenic and she’s done!
