This started out as a gift for someone who's no longer here- had a thing for figure building

So I thought " why waste it-never done one before

...or you could chicken out and do Odo in his liquid state in a bucket. ;)

The Milliput idea sounds like a goer to me - it's not bad to work with and you can start to sculpt it once it has started to set which doesn't take too long. And you can always add little bits on afterwards. I don't know if it is like Squadron Green putty where acetone can be used as a type of thinner to get a smooth finish before it sets hard (Acetone = Boots nail varnish remover 99p large pink bottle!).

Cheers
Al.

No need for acetone, water does the trick. Work it with a wet tool (ooh er missus!) and it comes up smooth.

wasn't happy about the brown coverage, and the tone's never been clear, as it changed throughout the seasons-
