The easiest mastic figures for beginners

Dario Cantu

Simple figures of animals, not claiming to sculptural resemblance, are molded by the same technology:

  • For the torso, roll a ball, which give a drop-shaped shape.
  • The head is just a slightly smaller ball, which is connected to the body with a toothpick.
  • Front and back legs are molded from mastic flagella, which are glued with food glue or raw protein.
  • Next, mold ears: for the bunny – from the two wide flagellants-strips for a cat or tiger (lion) – pointed triangles for a bear, a monkey – two circles with a recess in the center.
  • Also from the flagellum, but thinner, form a tail. If necessary, mold hairstyles, such as mischievous scalp from the monkey or the mane of the lion.
  • Finish modeling animal figures decorate face – nose, mouth, eyes.

It is easy to make out of mastic a variety of machines, which would be appropriate for the cake for the boy.

The easiest option – from a single piece of mastic:

  • Solid rectangular piece of mastic of the appropriate color to give the shape of the body of the car.
  • From four balls to make wheels and washers and glue them in their places.
  • From the thinly-rolled white or pale blue mastic cut out glass (windshield, rear and sides) and also attach them where necessary.
  • From small balls of yellow mastic to make the front lights.
  • Make necessary additions, such as inscriptions or eyes, and the car is ready.
