Pfft. Comes down to personal choice.

Magic Sculp is epoxy, so is air-hardening (when mixed), Fimo is a polymer clay and needs baking.

Try these:

SYLMASTA
POLYMER CLAY PIT

Or you could just use GS/Duro/Kneadatite.... Or Milliput. Or Sculpey if it\'s big.

I find GS and a GS/Milliput mix easiest to work. Haven\'t tried Magic Sculp, but I suspect this should be quite cool to use if it\'s as easy to sand and file when set as they say.

Fimo is brittle until warm and then acts a bit like plasticine. I find it difficult to get totally smooth.

Sculpey is more like wet clay and suited to larger scale stuff. It\'s a bugger for cracking when baking too.

Give Magic Sculp a go and let me know what it\'s like

Magic Sculp\'s available from EM4. As far as I can tell it\'s like Apoxie Sculpt, and I can tell you that\'s like a more user-friendly Milliput.

It\'s cheaper from Sylmasta....

Bah. Teach me to look more carefully.

I use magicsculp and apoxie sculpt (virtually interchangeable in my experience) mixed with green stuff for most of my sculpting.

Yep, with Prophet here.

Used Magic Sculp for years now, can buy 1lb for £10. also just got some Apoxie Sculpt, but not tried it in vengence yet. Very happy with mixing GS and MS in various proportions

MS has some good advantages for making solid angular shapes; the Shoulder pad and neck armour on my Inquisitor bust were made by rolling out the slightly cured MS to the desired thickness, and when its getting firm but not solid, bending to shape and keeping it there until it dries rock solid; can then be filed and sanded smooth. Now I couldn\'t do that with GS

I really like magicsculpt. Perhaps a bit harder to work than gs but it\'s extremely cheap comparebley.

I\'ve been having a chat with Fernando(Nano) and he says he uses both fimos soft and classic. I have made my mind up on fimo soft.

Ok. What ever suits you.
The US and Europe have different ways of casting where, if we used polmers that weren\'t mixed with an epoxy would re solidifi. You\'d still get a cast but you\'d come up without a model .
