That looks pretty good John. I have to try some of that magic sculpt. The tarps looks really good.

Thanks Ian. The welding is so simple I havea fine tip on my Pyro - (simply a woodburner, with modified tips attached toa Light Dimmer that works as a thermostat to control the heat)once the glue drys (and often before du to my lack of paitences) I go over each seem witha dabbing motion and instant weld. A light sanding to take anywayand really rough edges and on to painting.

Thanks Jesper,

I use the Magic sculpt for all my tarps, figure conversion, sculpting andeven some mini mold making. Great stuff. I also use A&B Putty which I purchase at appliances pArts stores. Cheapest prices I have found. I roll it out inside a Ziplock bag that has been dusted with baby powder (Keeps the putty from sticking) I roll it to the required thickness, cut to shape and then drape it on.
