With plans for a number of new modelling projects this year, most of which will feature large areas of exposed rockfaces, I thought it prudent to try out some new products and techniques. This would help me to decide whether to employ them on these upcoming layouts, or if I should stick to processes that I’ve used before.
What prompted me to experiment was the appearance of Mifoshape, a sculpting powder that has recently become available. Formulated in Belgium, it was created out of dissatisfaction with established plaster materials, with an aim of creating a medium that can be worked easily for up to 30minutes before it begins to set. With traditional plasters, we’re lucky if we get 10 minutes to work the material before it begins to harden and becomes unworkable.
