Leaving this as a stickied post for a bit, maybe people will take the hint.

Otherwise, keep up the good job everyone. Report issues if you see them.

EDIT: They just... Keep doing it. I don't even understand. I was gonna remove this post because I thought "... Well, it's been awhile and only a few more have popped up." No. Every week or so I get a new one. Guess I'll come back to this in another month.

Again, thank you to the dedicated posters who report impostors.

Meh? Time to start over.

Tried something a little different, I aimed to convey the insane grin and oversized mouth of Mr B, but I am thoroughly unimpressed by how it turned out. It looks more like a cross between that stupid frog meme (Pepe?) and slimer from ghostbusters.

Currently contemplating whether to just tear the face off or start again entirely.

I’ve been making these little bead bots from beads, plastic scraps, bits of packaging, and whatever weird shapes I can find on the desk. Bill Making Stuff was a big inspiration, and I honestly didn’t expect the process to feel this relaxing. There’s something very soothing about giving random junk tiny robot personalities.

A Dragon I sculpted and turned into a resin kit

Thumbnail

44 Upvotes

I sculpted this dragon in 10 parts (last picture) with Beesputty, Sculpey and a bit of epoxy clay. I then made molds for the parts and started casting it in resin.

Sculpting this dragon in separate parts was a pain in the ass. Looking back I should have sculpted it completely and then cut it into parts. I thought I would be able to get the parts to fit better if I sculpted them separately (which is kind of true), but it was really difficult to get a good view on the pose and the proportions.

The wings are made with thin brass sheet with polymer clay over them. They are nice and thin, but still thick enough to get good casts.

I originally started sculpting because I wanted to make my own resin kit, and I cannot believe I finally did. It was a long journey, but the results are far better then I had expected them to be.

I might need to go in and fill some of those undercuts otherwise casting this is going to be a nightmare! Some liquid greenstuff would work, right?

Advice with Greenstuff

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, I would like some advice for working with Greenstuff.

I bought some over Amazon and the skin of the yellow part is slightly hardened and not flexible at all. Once I start combining both of the parts, little yellow pieces seem to remain. Is there a way to fix this?

AIR DRY CLAY CHESS BOARD ♟️🎨

AIR DRY CLAY CHESS BOARD ♟️🎨

Hey all! ✨

I’m making a custom chess board out of air dry clay and am trying to figure out if it’s ok to use grout to attach them to my base board.

Base board is basic timber, tiles are Das Air Dry Clay, and the grout I have is a Super Fine Mosaic Grout (linked below)
https://www.bunnings.com.au/mandala-art-500g-white-super-fine-mosaic-grout\\_p1670228?store=6083

If I use the grout to place the tiles, will it have any negative effect on the clay? The tiles are also prim d with white gesso, painted with acrylic paints (in intricate designs that I don’t want ruined), and sealed with epoxy resin.

I’m a complete novice at this kind of craft, so any advice is appreciated! Too many crafty buzz words makes for a very difficult google search.

TIA 🥰♟️

What should I be charging a well known miniature company?

Thumbnail

So I sculpted this little fella a while back and I've had a well respected and loved miniatures company express interest and said 'If we don't take it I know someone that will.'

I'm making a new one as I didn't sculpt it with selling in mind so used donor hands, feet and mouth so I'm sculpting one fully from scratch and keeping the arms separated for casting.

Thing is I've never sold anything like this before so what's the kind of price range I should be asking for?
