and on the bigger ones you can real tell,

No idea myself. So to avoid making it seem all Kiwis are dummies I Googled it and turns out it is a foam.

Looks good Moni,


But I think you should put less mud on the soldiers feet! Looks a bit heavy


Just kidding, looks awesome always like the ideas you come up with, and your depron skills are excellent.


Well done so far.


Cheers Richi


Ps always happy to help, if I can.

 

[ojays]

Just caught up with this, appreciate such attention to detail.


Only time I have worked with 'Depron' is R/C model planes. You get less damage on crashing, compared with ordinary foam


.


What kind of adhesive did you use, as I always had problems getting the glue to adhere to the surface? (wings kept falling off)


Keep up the great work Moni!


Gregg

 

[monica]

ta Richi,Gregg,so glad that your liking it,


Fred said that the field had to much clay in it,and would stick to there boots,


thats another big thank you as well Richi,putting me on to the use of depron,


you just could not do the same work with just the white foam,


the glue I,m using at the moment Gregg is just a cheap one, that sets very strongly,


and is very tacky as well,if I cannot get that i use the UHU foam glue,


but for a plane would you not pin the wings as well to add some support and make them stronger ?
