ok, so Doug uses a timber stump and carves it to the shape he wants...

I tried that and ended up with a toothpick!!! There is an art to carving and i dont have it. So with some thought and help from Matt, the idea of foam (the space invader foam that fills holes) was considered. To make a shape in tin foil and fill it with foam. This foam sets rock hard though, so i thought of candle wax. (Hey I thought it was a good idea at the time)

So i made some home made play dough, shaped a stump, covered it in tin foil and duct tape, pulled out the play dough and filled it with wax...

before you ask, i ran out of white wax, hence the green base.
