Thank you very much mates. I apreciate very much your comments.
@ Mona, Sorry for the late reply. No problem I understand, my albuns tend to be big. 😉
No, all the figures are plastic, cannibalized and mixed together several brands, some very old Italeri, Tamiya.
@ Dominik, I'm very Glad you Like it.
@ Artur, Yes I'm a slow modeller, and sometimes, in this case I lose my mojo, and had other things to do, but all the encoregement words from all the mates here help me finish it. Thank you all.

Hi guys, pouring plaster in plasticine will soften the plasticine considerably (tried it), leaving you with a very difficult to clean plaster positive. I talked already of the Silicone & Cornstarch technique in another post. Here's a link to a YT clip: Youtube Video (as ever, the music sucks!) to show how easy this solution can be.
Hope to be of service... 😉

I'm thinking (long time idea) about filling it with plaster and using the floor and wall pieces back sides as a mold to duplicate the kit. Does anyone know what I should use so that the plaster doesn't stick to the plastic? Any ideas?
Thank you.

I have used the Silicone Rubber Technique while in college. Works well, but it's time consuming (like our hobby) and you need to make sure the no air in the mold.

Thank you for your atention and link, Guillaume, but this time I'm really interested in using plaster, I'm just worried that it Will be hard to remove it after it's dry.

I would have the same concern. Good luck with your quest. I'm sure there a type of coating out there that will do the job.

in the net they say "There are commercial mold release agents available, but people often use Vaseline, liquid hand soap, Pam Cooking Spray, Crisco, Vegetable Oil, liquid soap, or Murphy's Oil Soap."
i'll take some progress photos 😉

If you are sure the positive won't physically block the plaster from coming out, there shouldn't be any problem. Plaster won't normally stick to plastic. I did the same with some vacuformed shell craters without any hitch.
But I strongly suspect that you'll get a much better result by making a mould of the outside of your wall (caulk and potato starch will do the trick very well and cheaply) and then to pour your plaster into the new negative. Miniart's vacuforms are made inside out, so that the outside gets all the details...
Hope this helps! 😉

Thank you for your attention, Rene. Apreciate your help.
I'm sure you are right, but I'm not sure if I could do a good work, making molds with caulk and potato starch.
I'm planning just doing it, with simpler and easier stuff that I have, not expecting a final product, but a base to work with in future.

@ WhiteGlint, the details take their time, but I think they are always important in a dio. You can alaways had some more interest with them 😉

Alec: Apparently a lot of Roy cross's original artwork was destroyed. Some of it was sold at auction over the years. I've just found a listing for a 2014 auction of his work. When he stopped working for Airfix he mainly painted ships – some of his Airfix work is half way down the first page.
https://www.invaluable.com/artist/cross-roy-878b7j1i5q/sold-at-auction-prices/
I'd have happily made a few bids if I'd known at the time.
Just read that his first Airfix art was this:
Dornier 217. E.2 (Airfix 383, 1:72)
And his last:
Prinz Eugen (Airfix 05203-2, 1:600)

Thank you for your kind comments Rui. Mainly coming from a namesake😉 (my S also comes from da Silva).
I'm really sorry, that I don't know how to work with Photoshope, but I'll try to follow your advice with other programs and see how it works.
I see you scrolled through the photos in the Album, thanks again for that.
With around 100 thousand tons of cork per year, Portugal is the largest producer in the world, so it is natural that around here we use corks in a lot of things. Tinto, white, Porto, Madeira, etc. I like all of them 😄

So. Saying "Put a cork in it." instead of 'shut up' is not an insult. ?
It's so much nicer pulling the cork out of a bottle of wine, rather rather than the plastic or screw top crap the world uses now. :-/

Good move Rui. You can't be careful enough. Especially now there is a more deadly strain of the virus sweeping the world. To tell you the truth. I am quite scared. I stay in my home all the time and have my food and all other requirements for daily living delivered. It's cheaper to eat 'Jenny Craig' dietary food than to go out and shop for regular type nourishment. :-/ Stay vigilant. 👍
