sculpey clay [Permalink]
Just when you thought you had all the uses for sculpey clay figured out, you find another one. I'm always having my wife mold little pieces for my miniatures out of the stuff - like doors and barrels. But there's a whole new use i just discovered.
You can use it to make temporary molds and cast just about anything you like. I was reading a newsgroup and someone suggested trying out super-flex to make a cheap mold. i didn't have any super-flex, but it's made by sculpey, so i thought i'd try some sculpey. It worked beautifully. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. There was a lot of detail. The only drawback is that you have to pretty much ruin the mold to get the piece out, but i was just doing a bunch of impressions of pre-existing things anyway, so it was no big deal.
If you have any sculpey lying around, i'd suggest trying it out!
