You can also use bandages that have been impregnated with plaster. You can buy it from model shops, its called Modroc I think. Same idea as paper mache, build the frame the soak the bandage and apply. Stronger that paper mache.

Modroc is fabulous!
Paper mache is time consuming but fun. Scrunched up newspaper taped into shape can work if you don't fancy chicken wire. Rolled up newspaper pretty good for leg frame. Scrunched up paper taped to cardboard boxes depending on the size you need x
And watered down pva glue x
Yes I did think about newspaper for shapes, I'm stuck on the body and head xx

No worries....ex primary school teacher and I love a bit of cutting and sticking. I miss all that x
See it's the teacher inside of you creeping out now.
Okay so shall we exchange numbers so you can directly assist us and perhaps even direct us if we get stuck? :whistle: :sneaky:

I am of course kidding, thank you so much for this. I think it's what we're looking for.
I say we, I mean HRH and our youngest :D x
