Sculpting - first tests

 

Latest whim I suppose. I have used Green Stuff and similar in the past but never really made much effort. However, thought I might start treating it a bit more seriously. Buy a pack of cheap oven hardening polymer clay and see what I can do.

My major thought was Cthulu Mythos type figures in smaller scales - plenty of them around in 25-32mm, nothing in smaller scales. My first attempt are sort of Great Race of Yith. In fact, I made them a bit too short, but overall they look OK. Lessons learnt - limbs seem fragile, need to have a metal frame. Plenty of spears and pikes lying around.

I should also start modifying figures as well. This is just an initial attempt of simply adding a long dress to an Amazon - conversion types I've done a lot of in the past. Actually this polymer was softer and easier to work than the two parters. Needs a bit of touching up re paintwork, but quite happy with the way the figure turned out. The figure I used was one of my rejects - base damaged, sort of repaired while doing this. Must do more of this type of conversion!
