My daughter and I strengthened the tree and put it on a base. We decided we needed some rocks so I hunted out my Woodland Scenics rock moulds and we shoved the spare home made clay into them to test it out. The spare clay filled up both moulds so we have a lot of them.

It worked sort of. Biggest problem was the drying time. The stuff in the air formed a crust pretty quickly, but this stopped the rest from drying out. I dusted the moulds with corn flour (corn starch) to act as a mould release and it worked in a fashion.

My daughter is happy enough with the results, so in that respect it is a win. I don’t think it will be particularly useful for wargaming terrain, but we will see how it paints up.
