Looking forward to your Dwarves, and Haldir certainly turned out great. As for water effects, I've tried all that other stuff, but with a little help from Dave Taylor found the stuff that works the best for me.

Re the pink stu...Thats kinda what I was thinking...<br />Re the pink stuff - thought I'd try using it as it was 'free' - I am thinking, once I have carved it as I want it, to thoroughly soak it through thoroughly in a watered down PVA glue mix, which, with it being rather porous will soak through and fix the whole with a little more strength - I hope! It just seemed a shame to biff it in the bin - which it would have filled anyway so I thought I'd try and use it some how!<br /><br />Indeed!
