the long and thin bases are going to be used as joining and padding and so are not suited to buildings etc

the key here is the heavy dose of washing up liquid in the warm water bowl. it keeps the roller as clean as possible and well lubricated so not to have the DAS putty stick to it

quite a collection, easily done and knocked up within the hour. the ones of the right are sculptamold and will be snow banks or tree barriers.

trying to speed up the curing without heat in an attempt to stop warping

In this update I have targeted the half and quarter sized boards.

These are getting put in-between all the others and used to pad out or represent the roads etc.

The easy way to achieve this is to go to the old school methods of DAS modelling clay and the greenstuff world rollers.

I have two types on hand, the cobblestone one and the wooden plank one. in the end I elected to only use the cobblestone.

with long and thin boards that have no reinforcement (remember back to entry 1) you need to be careful with the drying not to warp the boards. when adding heat to the boards to help evaporate the moisture they do indeed warp. but so far I have observed that if you get a simple fan and point it at the boards the product dries out but doesn’t warp. granted I’ve only tested this on layers of paint and some sculptamold so we shall see what happens with the DAS clay which is prone to shrinkage
