Jim,
Thanks. Sherlock is on the holding pattern! I am waiting on a base from S&T and I should receive it sometime next week. I will then do the groundwork and finally I can paint him!
With the AVES I would mix the 2 parts and let it sit in a ball for about 40-45 minutes. The I used baby powder and covered it and rolled it out to the thickness I wanted and then let it sit for about 25-30 minutes. It was jsut starting to get a little stiff. I then used scissors and cut the lenth that I needed and secured one end with a touch of superglue and then wrapped it around the figure. I did not use anything to hold it in place but I have used blue tack on prior figures for certain folds. See the picture below. One thing I do not do when doing this is I do not put it in the crock pot. I think the heat makes it shrink down ad this will mess up your folds. I hope this helps.
Joe
