Hello all, I am pretty new to the site... well.. let me be more accurate.. Ive been lurking but have finally come out of my shell to participate

ANyway, I have been reading this article: https://archive.kitmaker.net//features/1972&page=6

The artist is using something called Duro to make the lily pads. What is Duro? I did a google of it and found everything BUT the answer to the question above lol

thank you, Jared

It's actually:
Kneadatite® Blue/Yellow® Epoxy Putty Tape and Bars
made by:
Polymeric Systems, Inc

Do a search for where to buy it, I pick it up at the local hardwear store. The one brand was called Duro.

Ooo ok! I see. I use to use something similiar for balancing electric motor rotors. Is plastalina the same? I have been reading and have noticed there are a few putty like materials that scratch builders seem to use to make their projects.

Which is the best to get? or should I just get a variety?

No plastalina is not the same. Plastalina is a oil base molding clay.
Duro is a 2 part epoxy putty that people just happen to use for modeling.
