evening, have'nt posted in ages so i thought that I had better come back with something to show for it.

here's a piece that I'm working on at the moment. Comments and crits much apriciated



Still a lot to do but you get the idea

thanks
seth

Seth, Great job, please show more. I think miniatures that are other than historical in subject matter are most welcome.~Gary

Hi Seth, long time no see!

Looks cool. What's he sculpted with? As I recall you're a fimo user?
And a change in scale too.

Looking forward to seeing more

garyjd: Thanks I will post more shots at the end of tomorrow by which time I think that I will have moved the head to a better position, just doesn't look right at the moment.

RobH: ello! for this one I'm using a super sculpey, sculpey three, fimo mix although it's very scimilar to the new extra firm grey clay that 's only recently become available on these shores.

I've been doing a lot of 1/8th-1/6th scale practice pieces recently so it was nice to do something smaller again

Very nice, interesting subject matter.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers
Roc.

That's different and cool. Looking forward to seeing more!

Looks great. Love the sci-fi stuff.

question: when do you use Sculpey and when do you use Sculpey III?

Thanks,
Brian

hi Brian, I use the two together by mixing super sculpey with black sculpey III to get a bit of contrast into the clay, and to get rid of that nasty translucence that super sculpey has. Then I just add fimo to firm it up a bit.

i guess that I could just use black fimo but thats a bit too easy

I mix one 2 ounce package of white and one 2 ounce package of black Sculpey III and get almost a battleship gray color. It comes in several colors and the resulting color does not matter as long as it makes tool marks and such more visible.~Gary

Ahhhhh... so your mixing is just for color... Couldn't ya just throw in a simple dye (e.g., food coloring)?

The FIMO to firm it up makes sense.

You know Midwest Clay is now making it in grey, right? No more mixing required.
