Here's a CD terrain project mixing giants, skeletons, and hills.
The end result is multi-scale blocking and hindering terrain, with a little flavor. |

Paper and plastic wrap. Good idea. Aluminum foil works too. What brand of clay is that? Dan
PS. Who makes the fella with the shotgun, standing next to the girl? |

I use Crayola air dry clay for these types of project. amzn.to/2KHhP30 Uncle Jed is from the Blue Moon Hardfelts … link … and don't forget some McCluckys! link |

Nice! I was hoping he was 15mm. Does the Crayola air dry clay shrink a lot? When working with clays that have a high percentage of shrinkage, I usually make the piece on baking parchment paper instead of directly on to the final base. Then when the clay is completely air dry, I transfer the piece to the CD or MDF base, gluing it down with Liquid Nails. That usually keeps the base from doing any warping. Dan |

The CDs don't warp and Crayola doesn't really shrink much. The big thing with it is make sure you seal the piece. Otherwise it will crumble over time. Sealed, it is no problem. |

Will Mod Podge be a good enough sealer for that clay? Dan |

This one seems to be low shrinkage. I just ordered me a 2-lb tub. link Dan
PS. This little step might save me some hassle with the kneading part:
