Great project. Now I have an idea what to make next. Everyone needs giant mushrooms and fungus for their caves, right?

One thing I have found is that the Crayola model magic is pretty fragile at that size. I didn't put them on bases and I had to be careful because some tips of the legs already broke off. I am going to cut some bases today and put them on, then I need a way to harden them up. I was thinking about trying some Polycrylic. I know I saw someone one here used it as an acrylic sealer but how about the hardness?

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but when you attach the Mushrooms to a base, how about using Hot Glue. Then you can do the DM Scotty 'dragged hot glue gun technique' around that base to add texture. It should protect and reinforce the bottom edge of the stem part, and I think the hot glue underneath the stem will protect it from impact. Kinda like a shock absorber. As for a coating, would thinned down white glue help? I'm not sure if it would sink into the air dry clay, especially since there's a coat of paint on it.
As I said, not sure if this will work or not. I tend to use Super Sculpey. It can be fragile too, but it glues back together easily enough.
