The two halves of the model are held apart by a ball of Sculpey clay, which was squished between the metal sides, removed and baked, then superglued back in place. The tail is glued primarily to this wad of Sculpey, instead of to the metal sides of the body. This still leaves a big gap between the sides. I filled the gap with Das Pronto modelling clay which air dries. Even though I cannot sculpt clay from scratch very well, it was simple to continue the lines and details of the miniature onto the wet clay with a hobby knife and a few other common tools. Hair is especially easy to duplicate by scoring with the blade of the knife. You can keep Das Pronto moist until you are satisfied with the results, then leave it to dry.
