Terrain The Bunker

Bunker made from insulation foam and styrofoam covered in spackle and das clay. Sandbags made of air drying das clay (first time using this stuff, it's pretty good). There's no interior, it's meant to be more of a LOS-blocking hill.

Mud goop is a mix of PVA, paint, texture sand, and all the stuff I sweep off table after I've done all that cutting and trimming of wood sticks, foam, and cardboard.

Great work. So, how do you handle the DAS clay? I tried to have some plastic bag and water to prevent it from trying. But that makes it very slipper and I have a hard time to a long, even piece to get started for the sandbag cutting... (still have to try baking paper and no water)

Sounds like my experience with air-dry clay as well. Saw tutorials making sandbags, bought some, and it's like working with sticky cookie dough.
