After leaving the statues to set for a week we set about removing bumps and cutting new marks and grooves into them using ordinary knives. The plaster of paris is very easy to work apart from a massive amount of dust. We then smoothed the surfaces further using fines sandpaper and finally damp cloths to achieve a nice finish. Then we sealed the surface with a wash of diluted PVA glue. Finally we decorated. Some used marbling, some painted faux marble effects and some used acrylic and scratched patterns into the paint.
