I tried using sculpey as sculting media for modeling. I have learned how to properly bake it by I want something that I don't have to bake. I was thinking of milliput, but I can't find a retailer in my area. But since we have craftsstores that carey air dring clay, I thought this might work just as well.

My question is, How ggod a media is it for 1:35 scale figures? And can you still shape it when it dries?

Thanks for your responses in advance.

For 1/35 figures it would be useless. It is impregnated with microfibres that do not allow you to get the fine detail necessary, and it shrinks slightly when cured. It's fine for brickwork etc though.

Careful! I used air drying clay for a thatched roof...about six times. Then I realized the shrinkage was inacceptable. Ended up with a lot of rubble, though. Use Sculpey or epoxy like Milliput.

Hi Yari,

You should try these putty:

Propoxy, a fast curing putty that is available at plumbing supply stores. They make several setting time, 5, 10 & 20 minutes
A+B putty, this is also available at plumbing supply store, but recentley I have not been able to find it.
MagicSculpt: this is the best putty, it's actually made for figure sulptures and artists. It should be available at art supply stores, but you can also find it on the internet.

All of the above are epoxy putty, the last 2 are 2 part mix.



Best regards and happy modeling.
