now that the MDF mould was all cut and ready to be put together, it is time to start working on the base of the model which will be made out of concrete. to do this, I decided to use the method of the concrete mould where I would create the mould, pour concrete in it, wait till it set and take out the MDF pieces gently.
I am pleased that the mould did come out successfully and it has turned out the way I wanted it to, but there where some problems I had to deal with before it was complete. in some of the areas of the mould, the concrete was not wet enough so it did not go all the way down into the mould which caused gaps in the walls. to solve this problem i had to get more concrete but very wet concrete s that i was able to fill it in the gaps. This technique helped fill the gaps and made the mould complete for the base of the model.
