haha poyozer...trying to promote me without my consent ha...heh

i tried it before using paper clay, very cheap but so leceh...coz it dried up pretty quick need to put water from time to time...plus if not properly buildup can cause cracks when finish...

IMHO super sculpey is the best if you're still beginner bcoz you can take you time sculpting the model and it does dry up at all...the surface is very smooth and when finish you can oven bake to hard...it's very expensive though...

try googling these keywords (super sculpey+maquette+armature+tutorial)...

hope this helps... n___n v

try and got to www.multifilla.com...you can ask them for more info..

yes super sculpey can be baked in home oven, but beware it gives off fumes during baking...so you need to clean you oven afterwards...DON'T MICROWAVE...

i personally don't bake them since i always build it using armatures (use dawai besi from hardware store)...so i can pose them...

another tip...to save on using clay...you can build the bulk of the mass using aluminium foil and wires, then wrap and sculpt the surface using clay...

for tools, you can DIY...you can use pencil or pointed objects for detailling and use sudu to smooth out the sculpt...

here's a tip...if you want satisfaction and quality to your work, use super sculpey...if you want quick, cheap, "bole la ni..." kinda work, go for paper clay or even easier...plastecin

again, google for more info...here's some keywords (DIY sculpt tools, sculpture armature tutorial, model making tips)
