Yodajammies' Perpetual Clay model thread

oil based modeling clay is NOT working.

I've switched over to a wax based plastiline clay (darker green)

This is taking wayyyyy longer than I expected it to. esh.

I'd match the respiration tube grooves up perfectly. Simply because there are 7 on each side...lol.
Unless It's too late, I mean, how do you keep water clay from drying or cracking on the helm from shrinkage?

 

[Yodajammies]

yeah, I haven't figured out how I'm going to get those vents perfect.


It's a wax based clay, so it doesn't harden in air.

 

[xalener]

OH! Wax is what you said?
lolerz on me...

What brand clay do you use?
I've only worked with Sculpey and that browninsh-red stuff you get at Michaels.

the wax based stuff that has a pretty decent "hardness" is from Jolly King.

Went to a "store fixture supply" store and got a torso for my chest piece. MAN that place was creepy! And I thought that fetish shop where we got the cortana suit was weird - Imagine a warehouse full of dead eyed mannequins with huge boobs and anatomically correct goods. eep.

well the whole helm is coated. Just about time to start detailing / finalizing. Excite!
