Two out of Three Ain’t Bad!

Hurrah, third time is a charm as they say…

I eventually got the third roller printed. This evening I did a test to try them out.

I got a 40×40 base for each roller and then mixed up some Greenstuff and smeared it on.

Two look spot on, the third and last one printed didn’t work as well. There is a bit of a texture but nothing to shout about. The Greenstuff stuck to the roller too. This was probably due to the texture being less pronounced.

I haven’t given up on it, I may need to leave the Greenstuff a bit longer. Either that or make the layer a bit thicker. If it doesn’t work it cost pennies to print out.

I like those! 🙂 The third one would maybe do worn cobbles OK!

I don’t know if you have access to it, or if it would work for your project….but I found Sculpey (or FIMO) to be really nice for bases. The Fimo clay isn’t as sticky as Green Stuff and easily separated from the roller. To cure it, you have to put it in the oven at a low temp for about 30 mins, but pretty simple to work with.
