Description I've had a couple of questions about how I did the cape on trixie without any internal structure or support. So here is a pic just before I baked her. The cape's shape is supported by loops of wire attached to her legs. This gave just enough support to it during baking to hold it in place.

Hope that answers any questions.

Side note she is primed and ready for painting. Damn British weather doesnt mix well with spray primers.

I have a question, in this case, you used the wire stuck in one of the legs of the pony to leave the dough in curling wanted the pony's body is still raw or roasted you have to stay rigid and then applied the accessories modeled in pony? Grateful.

The body was baked before wrapping the wire around the legs and then the cape and hat were added.

Yep, that explains the most. Looks like my own dry construction. It was made of a cork and a lot of pins. But i work in a different scale.
Must be an older picutre. I miss her Gemstone on the chest.

I don't know wich primers you use but i have good experience with Army painter sprays, even in bad weather. Half a minute spray out, dry in the house.

Very practical.

@ British weather: Ohhh, I feel your pain. Pacific NW has roughly the same amount of rain as you guys do.
