I've been taking my youngest son swimming and my eyes are full of chlorine making them tired and hard to focus, forcing me to take my glasses off. Although it made things easier, especially while trying to add a nose and ears to my original concept, however once i needed to find something not in front of my nose, I couldnt see. Mixing greenstuff with plastic wasn't easy and I was drilling a hole into a 1.6mm rod with a 0.5 drill bit so I could stuff greenstuff inside to get a more secure hold for my horns. This task was made harder as my Drill bit holder couldn't hold something this thin, so I had to hold the 0.5 drill bit between my fingers. The three balls are intended for the rear of the backpack, one just a ball while two others I tried something different. In hindsight, I should have just waited for it to dry and cut it in half before glueing it onto the round thin plastic. The remaing green stuff was made into a skull, although potentially too small to mount on the of my three Ghaz and looked more like an alien rather than some animal skull.

make clean joins and went straight to green-stuff. Although the green-stuff was getting more dry and it was less soft once mixed, it meant using the remainder to make skulls was quite difficult.
Using the left overs again and made 11 more skulls. Even added a new categry just so I can track my progress easily without having to get them all out to count them.
I was testing a small sample of Milliput against an unpainted metal Falcon to see the result after it's dried. Side thought, if it works, I may be able to make moulds! I had a small amount left and decided to make a bunch of skulls from what was left. Many eons ago, I wanted a skull pile and never done anything. I believe I even messed about with remaining greenstuff previously (shown in picture) and thought I had more, but couldn't find it. Milliput was difficult to work with, but due to the softer texture it was easier to poke holes into them. So this is the start of a Thousand Skulls Challenge, but to only sculpt them from left overs... roll on another eon before I achieve this.
