Should have known better....




Finally after Id say 2 years I decided to finally grow a pair and try and "cook" my maquette of Jason. Ive been fearful about doing this for a while since I kit bashed a lot of the tech pieces from model bits. I removed all of the small model pieces before firing, but had to leave the intricate chest piece on since it was pretty well set. I actually thought that the oven temp wouldnt do too much damage since I cooked it at a relatively low temperature. WRONG. actually interesting enough the plastic and the chemicals in the sculpey interacted in a very strange way where the plastic bit actually melted into the sculpey! Im pretty bummed but whatever, move on...
