DAS white modeling clay - idea's for use?

[treadiculous]

Hi,

Has anyone encountered this?

I've had a little pay around with the stuff and it's a nice air drying clay.

I'm wondering how valid it is for making scenery (eg; craters, sandbag defenses) - however it seems quite fragile.

Does anyone know of something I can coat it with to strengthen it?



I'm considering possibly covering the finished surfaces with a very thin layer of green stuff to hold it together.

would a varnish work?


any idea's welcomed!

Hey Tread!

I was looking at terrain tutorials on youtube the other day, and there was a fellow on there using the stuff to make Sandbag walls in the tutuorial. Guys pretty good at what he does if I'm honest.

Anyways, Link here buddy. Hope it helps!

Good vid dude!

I'm considering adding PVA glue to the paint I'll use to cover the clay - it may just give it the extra adhesion and slightly thicker coating to help prevent the clay from chipping and damage in storage.

Sound like a solid plan mate! Hope it works out for you. You'll have to let me know if it works, I'm looking at starting a modular trench warfare board, and if it works nicely, might have to plunder the idea for myself

Is this for the injured models / dead guardsmen / ork who got a bit over excited?
