PREPARATION:  Preparing the pickup for the camper and the lids:  cut out the top of the pickup bed 1/8” smaller than the lines provided.  Slip attach this waste clay element to the bottom inside of the pickup to cover the pour hole.

CASTING TIP FOR CAMPER:  Cast camper, camper add on and truck at the same time.  After draining, allow to set in the molds overnight.

TIPS FOR CAMPER AND CAMPER ADD ON
Do not fettle the 4199 Camper add on.  Instead cut this pour gate at the line indicated on the pour gate section of the mold.

The camper add on can then set on top of the prepared 4198 Camper, such as a lid on a box.  This will make it secure and removable.  (TO PREPARE THE 4198 CAMPER READ FURTHER)

When fettling the main camper’s pour gate, trim an extra 1/8” on each side of the camper that is at the back of the pickup bed down to the bumper.  Place the camper top onto the prepared pickup.  Check both sides to make sure you have it in the correct place, adjust as necessary.

PREPARE THE 4198 CAMPER FOR THE 4199 CAMPER ADD ON.
Use the Camper Roof Template in the Miscellaneous section under the Stencil section of our website.  Place the front of the cut-out stencil centered on top of the front edge of the 4198 Camper.  Using a pencil create lines on the top of the camper following the inside of the template.  Remove the template, cut out the top of the camper following the lines.  If the camper sags, remove off the pickup and place upside down on a clean flat surface and reshape.  Replace back on the pickup.  Cut out windows as desired with a scalpel.  (Cut out, side windows only from the 4199 camper add on.)  Do not place the camper add on, on top of the camper.  Allow to dry upside down on a flat surface.  Once the camper and camper add on is dry, clean seams and sand inside of windows so they are flush.  It is important the inside of the windows surface is flush so the screen or other window material (we used vellum) are flush and even with the windows.  Place all holes needed for electrical and lights.  Fire to cone 04.

How to make fake whipped cream frosting
This is how we achieved the frosting used on our samples.
The fake whipped cream frosting was made using Daiso Soft Clay and white glue. To learn how, we looked it up on YouTube. We suggest you do the same. The videos we watched made it look more difficult that it was. We went ahead and tried it anyway, so glad because it is so easy.
Materials Needed: Daiso Soft Clay, water, white glue such as Elmer’s or Mod Podge Satin. Acrylic paint to color the whipped cream/frosting. Small plastic mixing containers with tight-fitting lids, that are clean and dry. Stir sticks, such as a popsicle sticks. Frosting piping tips and silicon piping bags.
Step One: Gently break 1/2" to 1" pieces of the clay into your plastic jar, as many that will fit in the jar very loosely. You can add more as you go if desired. Keep unused clay in an air tight container or bag.
Step Two: Add a couple drops of water and stir. If needed add more drops of water. The clay will emulsify quickly.  It should be a bit stiffer than regular frosting.
Step Three: (we used Mod Podge Satin) Add white glue or Mod Podge, about 4X more glue than you added water. Stir until it is well incorporated with the clay and resembles the texture of whipped cream frosting. Add more clay, water or glue accordingly.
Step Four: For color frosting add a very, very small amount of acrylic color to make a pastel color frosting. You can always add more color. We used Mayco’s Limeburst for the green frosting and Royal Fuchsia for the pink frosting.  Use Chocolate and Chocolate Fudge for the chocolate frosting.
Step Five: Apply to item with the palette knife as you would regular frosting to a cupcake, or pipe it using piping tips and silicone piping bags. Pipe the same way as you would real frosting.
Notes:
You can pat it with your finger to “tame” it or use a small slightly damp brush to nudge it or clean it up before it dries.
This is the only brand of this type clay we tried, checking out other YouTube videos, it was suggested the Japanese produced clay was the best. This is by Daiso.
The silicone piping bags were great as the “frosting” did not stick to it like it did to a zip lock bag. Cleans up easily with water.
We used one block of the Soft Clay to frost everything shown, plus some practice work. Some frosting is still in the piping bags.
Different white glues and different clay may make a difference, we have only used Mod Podge Satin and the Daiso Clay and the finished product looks exactly like the real stuff!

We used the smallest tips to do these projects.
The “frosting” seems to stick well to glaze, bisque, plastic, card board, everything we have used it on so far.
We did have to use glue to help some of the add on’s stay in place.
Water or moisture will most likely dissolve the fake frosting.
The Daiso Soft Clay and piping kit was purchased separately on Amazon Smile.
The add on’s - fake sprinkles, confetti, fake sugar, white and colored foam Nonpareils are evidently big in the slime business. The foam nonpareils and fake candy were purchased at Hobby Lobby. The foam nonpareils were in the slime section. The fake candy was found in Hobby Lobby’s Christmas, Tree for Me section. Fake sprinkles and sugar we found on Etsy and Ebay.
