Infinity Beyond Icestorm - Assembly

I’m going to initially focus on the other two Nomads models in this set, so for continuity I’m going to create two more base toppers using the GSW ‘Mesh’ textured rolling pin.

Here are the materials I used:

• Clear acrylic rolling pin I picked up in the cake baking section of Michael’s (US craft store chain) for a few dollars US
• Round Cutters, Silicone Rings, and Mesh Textured Rolling Pin are from GSW
• Black Sculpy Souffle oven-bake clay
• Parchment paper for baking the base toppers

I had in the past used aluminum foil, but I find that the clay sticks a bit more to the parchment (which is what you want…as opposed to sticking to the rolling pins). I have a 25mm infinity base for scale also.

I’m using the 25mm cutter…which as you can see is a bit larger that the top of the beveled base. This is fine, since I’ll be trimming away the small amount of excess in a later step.

I’m using the medium-sized silicone rings on the ‘flat’ rolling pin, and the smaller ones on the ‘Mesh’ one. This will result in a base topper that is about ~2mm thick in the end.

I’ve started out by forming two blueberry-sized balls of the clay…which I then flatten onto the parchment with my thumb. This helps the clay to stay in place when rolling it. Regardless of technique, you’ll find that these oven-bake clays have almost zero tack…either to tools or your fingers (they are much easier than epoxy putties to work with).

Next I’ve rolled the clay with the ‘flat’ roller. This helps make sure the toppers are uniform in height.
