Texture and rolling pin basing

[mbdeyesParticipant 655xp 1]

Right.
After posting that it was only good for gap filling, I found a tutorial on using it to build up textures on models, etc. so, I’ve been happily corrected.

It is not a sculpting medium (except for textures) though.

So my plastercine arrived and the first thing i did was mix it 50:50 with milliput standard. Chuck it in the pasta machine and roll a pin over it with the 2mm bands on it.

without waiting for it too cure i can report that it works very well. I shall report again in a few hours when its cured.

Have you considered filing down the underside of the bases if 5mm plastic + 2mm putty is too high?  Do they need all 5mm of their initial height to maintain their shape or integrity?

Weirdly for star wars yes they do.

That look good. Did you a specific type of plasticine?
