[3.9KB]
05		 The base is made with sawdust mixed with paste.
Mixed sawdust turns into hard and light after it is dried up.
The styrofoam core is to be raked out later, then every parts will be hollow.

There are two types of sawdust. One is rough which is used for the foundation, and the other is powdery used for the surface.
This time the rough one is not available, so the powdery one is used for the foundation as well as the surface.(05)
