Ollie30 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Gonna start a new project soon which involves 4 figures and my question is this. The subjects although well modelled lack certain features for accuracy, if i want to add bits such as horns, wings or tails what is the best medium to use. The models are plastic and not resin so i was thinking modelling clay but i`m not sure if this will stick to the plastic, also would i be better moulding the parts and then sticking them on with glue once dry or moulding them to the figures when wet and letting them dry that way before paint. The figures are quite large, around 6 to 7 inches in height so the extra detail will be quite large in pieces. Any advice as always is gratefully received Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayprit Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Do as I do,....use wire...……….drill a hole in the main body slot, drill a hole in the part your fitting , insert wire then its a secure push fit, before adding to location, a drop of superglue and it should be ok, do it all the while with anything, mainly resin...…... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie30 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Thanks for that, good advice but what do you use to actually make the parts. Do you use resin, air dry clay, or modelling putty, or something totally different ? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
