    Thanks for posting Gordy! I think I will have to try a clayshaper. I have been using metal sculpting tools and then blending and softening edges with a wet brush but this looks easier. Please post more videos like this. Very helpful.

    Thank you, it is great in place of a wet brush for major moving :) I'll look into making more!

    Hi Gordy,
    It it so nice to see someone imparting their knowledge on us that are less informed in this area, many have promised but never delivered to share their tips and tricks.
    Please keep up these excellent informative little tutorials(y). Very neat job on the home made sculpting tool.
    cheers

    OK, I have to ask,... what type (brand), of putty or clay are you applying in this video? It looks to be as workable as anything I've seen before.

    That's would be Milliput Yellow/Green! :)

    Cool, thanks for the answer. I'm kind of spooked about using epoxy, as I'm concerned that I might not get things right before it sets up.

    I practice on old injection molded plastic figs for getting a feel for how I want major parts to look :)

    That makes sense. I'll have to give that a try.
