Second installment of update with some green stuff work, I traced a template of the Mausoleum's spire and cut one from foam board, covered that in foil and glued a hemisphere of green stuff in the middle. I use small metal kitchen measure spoons to make the hemispheres, flatten a bit of green stuff, coat the inside of the spoon with a small amount of hand cream and squidge it in! I then back fill that with Aves 2 part epoxy putty and leave to cure before removing.

Mixed up some more green stuff and added Aves to it in a 50/50 mix, this gives a much softer medium to work in. First started with the eyelid flap to the right followed by the lower eyelid and finally the upper, each section is flattened using a small blob of hand cream on finger and thumb then placed across the hemisphere, I use metal dental tools and more hand cream on them to flatten, smooth and add the ridging textures to the putty, starting with light pressure to get the flow of the lines and then going back over to add depth, join lines together etc. A lot of people use water or Vaseline with green stuff, but I prefer the hand cream, I don't have any problems painting over it at a later date with a quick rinse off and have found Vaseline can interfere with paint if not fully removed.

I didn't want to sculpt straight onto the resin cast purely to avoid getting green stuff into the joins in the brick work pattern, as the green stuff is pulled out on the foil is should blend into the brickwork when I glue it on once cured, a small amount of liquid green stuff will be used anywhere it doesn't!
