In order to rebuild his arms I had to lay in some foundation Sylmasta onto which I can render the finer detail in Miliput (or I might even try some of that new Magic Sculpt I picked up in Telford?).  I haven’t used Sylmasta for quite some time and so when I located the stuff I used about five or six yeqrs ago, I was unsure if it would still work!   As I stored it in room temperature wrapped in a couple of layers of airtightplastic bags, it look ok however, it took a while to mix it together but eventually it became very pliable and while the curing time was about double, it hardened off very well.    So far so good, now back to my 43rd figures, more on this one later.
