I r thing I’ve learned going this is that the simpler the shape the better and more uniform the shrinkage.
Large complex shapes, with thin sections and appendages, tend to get very warped and misshapen. And in this instance, there are cracks as well.

Bummer!
I also left some ‘connecting tissue’, which looks a bit shite after shrinkage. If I do any more of this – and it is great fun! – I’ll keep the shapes much much much simpler.
