I left the tail squiggly and put an armature in the rest so it would be posable. Silicone is a great material, you can even foam it now for translucent makeups.

Nice! Thanks for the information. Chavant NSP is my favorite plastiline by far! I'll have to try cement for silicone casting, I've just been using a shore 45 platinum silicone for casting softer silicones, but that can get expensive.
They look good for only having taken a few days!
