Title: Fun with modeling Clay & Putties
Description: Some invidiual bits & basic sculpts


rivanic - May 1, 2007 05:25 AM (GMT)
Was actually building a GunPla & adding bits to it while making some 1/24 rims, got some clay for Dio & guess i got carried away with the fun. Materials are a mix of epoxy putty, clay & basic putty. Anyway, here're my noob attempts at basic parts & simplistic sculpts. :)

Some 1/24 disc brakes & modified rims. Parts not sanded down & flash didn't remove. :P

External side of rim left flat/plain so you can add your own designs/indentations to it.

Spokes, disc brake 'holder' & outer rims, similar to some renaissance rims, to have the option of normal or deep-dish rims .

After all that fun, wanted to try sculpting a resemblance(i hope :huh: ) of a specific human face. For those who play the game, this is my attempt at the Ghost of Sparta, Kratos, God of War.

In-complete portions, upper Lips, eyes, left cheek, eyebrows & goatee need refining, skull & scar needs further definition & some pronounced square jaws.

you have a good hand + eye to do these!! I solute you!
By the way, how you made them harder?

rivanic - May 1, 2007 07:36 AM (GMT)
Tks for your comment wuichong. Followed the instructions & oven-baked it to harden. I got it from a hardware shop in JB, its brand isnt SuperSculpey but it seems to have similar properties, usage & instructions. :)

Do you mind to share with us how the packing looks like? This is a cheaper way to do modeling?

rivanic - May 2, 2007 07:29 AM (GMT)
Alamak, discarded the box, wrapped it in paper & sort-of smuggled in to S'pore as i only bought a small pack to test. :P
Mostly packed in cup/tub or boxed, rectangular blocks, scoop from the tub or straight-thick-'noodles' gelled together.
Only remember it had some sorta CapBunga or sumthin & it's manufacturer's address was in Johor.

Packaging usually in variable form like these:

Arts & Crafts shops should have 'em, there's a link in this forum (Sculpture Clay):
http://www.multifilla.com/# (Multifilla S/B Selesa Jaya, Balakong)

As for whether it's a cheaper alternative or what other forms of usage, it's subjective & i'm still messing about with it. :unsure:
Dunno what's available over at your side though but good luck in searching. :)

Interesting range of subjects Rivanic. Nice detail work on the rims and looks like you're off to a good start with your experiments.

Hope to see more of your work.

rivanic - May 3, 2007 10:54 AM (GMT)
Didn't seem like 'work', was having lotsa fun with these half-baked (pun intended :D) attempts. Long way to go but will continue learning & trying. :)

A comparison with the Tamiya Rally Driver set helmet. Rims finally sanded, primed & tested some Alclad on it. The replicated rim is on the top right of pic, modified deep-dish's on the left & the original's on the bottom right. :)

rivanic - June 22, 2007 10:56 AM (GMT)
No problem-o man, most of the stuff are just tips, tricks & techniques readily available on the net, just sharing my attempts at trying 'em out. :)

A cheaper version would be FIMO polymer clay from Germany stocked and distributed by Multifilla. Simple shape and bake to harden in toaster oven or hairdryer

Ask for the FIMO Doll in 8 lb or 2 lb. Paint or airbrush with acrylics. This polymer clay is used by professional doll sculptors and Pewter companies in sculpting.

Cheap and affordable.
