To implement the idea, a thick solution is needed, which will be well-simulated. Work begins with a smooth surface selection, comfortable for modeling. We lay out the cement mass on the surface and distribute the "pancake", the size of which should exceed the dimensions of the future turtle. If in the future it is planned to plant flowers directly in Cachepo, at this stage it is advisable to do the technical hole in the center.
