My Diorama

[pbfoot]

Now spackle is meant to used on walls and very thin coats so it dries quickly but you've put in on thick so it will take a little bit of time to dry completely 24hr at least maybe more . also save some spackle as because you used thicker layers it will crack as it dries the xtra will let you patch.
Spackle WTF ....its called dry wall compound or compound or as we call it here goop

Ok thanks Pb! I have a pretty thick coat on and there is still more to spare which is good!

Looking good!

We call it filler out here Pb.

You can always smooth it out with 100 grit sandpaper. Just be gentle. And don't push hard or you will crack it.

And Pb... Goop is a hand cleaner in the states. Used for taking oil grime off your arms and hands.

....and it's the best on the lanolin based hand cleaner around. I've used many a jar of it back when I was doing automotive work.

Looking good B-17! You can probably scrape the spackle off the frame when its dry and paint it (the frame) if its all scratched.

You'll be amazed how different it will look when you start adding bits to it.

Well he DOES have to take religion does he not?

I wonder if he's at that campsite now, picking up twigs, moss and other bits, ready for use in the diorama?

I'm done anyhow as dry wall compound would be my only strength in this scenario, and we never get our hands dirty up here
