spring clean challenge : Oisin
Balancing the base.
My plan was to be able to build a diorama at some point when my skills are up to it so I needed Oisin to be able to stand level. To be fiar it also helps with the painting if he is level.
I used more Milliput and a modelling tool to create stones that matched the model. The reason for using Milliput rather than Green Stuff is that the former cures to a harder finish rather than a rubbery finish that is the result if using Green Stuff.
The advantage if having the harder finish it is is easier to sculpt with a blade and/or file afterwards 
Milliput must be mixed in a 1:1 ratio of adhesive (yellow one) to hardener (grey one) . Moisten any surface you will be working it one anf this includes your hands. WHY????? Because it stops it sticking on everything ....... spit/ saliva does work just as well as water (shhhhhhh don’t tell my kids I said use spit as it will gross my daughter out) Also side-note....Milliput tastes UTTERLY FOUL.!!!! You have now been warned ..... my taste buds have recovered but not an experience I am rusin.
