Yesterday and today I used the plaster cloth to give rigidity to the figures-- I'd been having problems with the armature limbs sagging and cracking at the knees and hips. I will use wax to complete it, which should alleviate the problem (I've decided that in the future, I will not use Plasticine clay at all, as wax can do all that I need, and will keep its form better without slumping or being easily smirched)...
(I used the stick from a corn dog my son was eating for the armature of the M1905 bayonet...)

Fix Corn Dogs! haha
You are so lucky to be paid for this type of work! You probably won't ever get rich from it, but at least you're not starving and have a great studio.
Oh, and it's good for the Corps, to boot. :)
I have a patron, like the court painter of old.
The Corps pays for my supplies, and space, and they get fine art from it...
It's a "WIN, WIN" for sure.
