Thanks for the comments guys the bride is ready to be painted. I made the clear plastic discs for the electronic thingy today and sealed the Sculpey by painting Elmer's glue on the figure. I went on and attached her to the base also. I'm planning to do all of the painting on her before I add the jumper cable to her tongue and the battery so that the cable will not get in the way. I'll try to get a couple of pictures of the final layout tomorrow.
