Rose, several months ago won a kit at the raffle our local model club has each meeting. It was the old Heller model kit of a garden ant. Rose loves the movie, Them!, so guess what we did that that kit?
Did you guys know that if you thinned two-part automotive contour filler (bondo and the like) with Acetone, you can thin it down to the point where you can brush it on. That's what rose and I did with the final coat of our Evercoat fill: we cut it with some acetone and brushed it as a final contour coat over the 'ant mound' we made to serve as a base for the ant as it engaged in some 'house keeping' chores.
First Rose waxed up the mold board so the work we did on the mound would not stick to it. We then cut some Evercoat filler with Acetone and then mixed in some catalyst, mixed it all up and laid it over and round the base of the mounds hole and outer edges, working it with Popsicle sticks and acid brushes.
