Increasing the Fear Factor

Time to warp more of the scenery.

While waiting for the last batch of CelluClay to dry on the skull cave, I took the opportunity to start on the next piece of terrain. I rough cut the foam with my coping saw and quickly shaped it using nothing more than the heavy rasp, test fitting the skeletal bit as I went. I also cleaned up the mold lines from the skeletal pelvis and backbone.

I then drilled a hole in the backbone to allow for pinning to the foam. The bone was then glued to the foam in the same manner as above with the skull. I also used a bit of the glue to fill a few holes in the plastic bones.

While that set up, I cut a base using the same MDF as above and beveled the edge with my Dremel tool. If you use this method yourself, please do so outdoors and wear a filter mask. It is not at all good to breath the dust from MDF.

I then mounted the foam to the base and added rocks like I did on the skull cave. I also added a few more skeletal bits among the rocks around the base. This will all be blended together with CelluClay as before.
