Some Friendly Plastic/Oyumaru/InstantMold WIP (Part 5)
Skulls and bits ...
So, what did we learn today? ...
(1) Excellent quality press-moulds,
(2) Keep them as thin as possible (avoiding distortion). Those source pieces with 'teeth' (literally, in some cases) were a b****r to get out, requiring pliers, to flex the FP (it is of similar toughness to Polymorph, at that thickness ... approx 1 cm) and a metal tool to 'flick' (understatement of the day) them out; those without 'teeth', flicked-out easily,
(3) The 'hot' FP does not adhere to the 'cold' FP,
(4) A little more practice and we will be ready for the two-parters.
ProCreate to follow.

Like Watching The Colonel's Paint Dry? (well, not a lot of paint, actually)
Come and watch and/or 'chat' at The Colonel's Workbench ... when I am awake or not 'at the keyboard' :)
I have put a direct feed, towards the bottom of this page. Please let me know if it slows you down or gets in the way. TinyChat/Blogger is really not ready for that, yet ;)
