Making plans.....

I want to make the fish resonably solid so they dont droop when on the cable. I was thinking of trying to have a soft 'skin' layer over a solid core so the fish will stay in position but feel soft to the touch.
By using silicone over a polyurethane resin (fast cast) core I should be able to get the effect that i want. This should also enable me to cast the entire fish in one piece instead of possibly having to seperate the fins and wen (red hood).
For the colouring I will use silicone pigment so that when painted it wont crack off the model.
