hey guys does anyone know where I can buy celluclay in NZ. Or what do you guys use to mould you landscape, preferably something that doesn't dry to quick so I have plenty of time to position me other bits, thanks

Hey Ethan

You could try DAS air drying modelling clay it comes in several colours
I use on occasion as a filler.

Cheers

What would use to cover a polystyrene base before you apply your static grass. Is DAS suitable for this?

I doubt it, das is pretty thick, and it tends to shrink a bit around the edges. I'd go for polyfiller.

I've found a product called sculptamold which is a lightweight papier maché you mix with water. It should do the trick.

The good news is that Modelcrafts and Hobbies are still stocking celluclay. Think I'll order some.
