The base will be quite big Raoul. :D After watching you build all of this I didn't quite get the size of it in my mind. It'll be very eye catching when it's finished. Hope you have plenty of room :)

Thanks Vincent, Rob and Shawn! :D
Hope you have plenty of room :)
Thankfully I have three glass protected cupboards (one in a cupboard that I inherited, another is a glassed "Billy" and a third was sourced from my in-laws when they moved and decided they didn't need the thing anymore :lol: ) and plenty of room in them after some restructuring (i.e. putting somewhere else) of the contents :lol: .
Yes it is and all in less than 4 months.
Gotta do something with the time I'm currently busy wasting :lol:.

Good new everybody! I managed to shuffle (and that quickly) to my modelling table again! :lol:

It's time for a base (at long last....).
Supplies =>

Which after two and a half hours turned out looking like this =>

And it's projected to look something like this =>

Obligatory cats!

Good to see you back at the bench Raoul. :) That is definitely two and a half hours well spent. The base is looking good. 8-)

Thanks Vincent! :D

Of course it didn't turn out quite as agreeable as it looked yesterday. I was fully expecting the clay to crack when drying and I'd thought I'd fill the cracks with trusty putty.
Well... what I didn't expect though was for the base to curl up like a sleeping cat when the clay dried... I'm currently trying to straighten it out, though I feel I will have to put it in a frame to mask the warp :? .
Ah the joys of doing stuff you've never done before :lol: .

Hi Raoul

is that normal behaviour for air dried clay?

Sounds a little odd!

Did I spy a Pz I A in the background :?:

Making good progress there Raoul, it makes me think I need to do a base too :oops:

Nice one :D

Cracking is - curling the base up isn't, that's more something that probably clay fixed on glue does... :? :lol:

And yes, it's an age old Dragon Panzer I Ausf. A. It won't be in any build but it's there as a placeholder for the Tristar IA for the clay Golem to throw...
Yepp, you read right - I have a "clay leftover" Golem with the proper inscription and and it will be used by a Rabbi donated by Philipp to throw a Panzer I straight out of the Jewish Ghetto in Prague in '38 in something of a fantasy/folk tradition based alternate history setting :lol: ;) .

And of course it's not particular detailed because it's just animated Moldau-mud! :lol:
