and now i have to find some interesting idea for a body :)
 
Hi Kamil, glad you hear you like MagicSculp, I think it's much better than Milliput also.

On the face, the overall structure is quite good but I would reduce the width of the nostrils if you intend this to be realistic. Generally nostrils roughly line up vertically with the inside corners of the eye, here they are wider than the mouth. I would also suggest you pare down the teeth, for this lip position I think it might be more realistic to show a little of the lower teeth.

Einion- You have absolutely right..:) IMO nos looks afull:> but i leav it like that.. in next head nose will be better.. in a few minutes i will how new photos- littke sculpting upgrade:)

and smth about teeth- Your sugestion is good, but i'm affraid i cant do that- uper teeth are 0,5mm from lower part of moutto h- i have no idea what tool i can use to do that
 
Czolem Kamil,
sharpening your skills in MS - fine work! Hope to see some good Polish maa - as this year is the 800 anniversary of battle of Zawichost 1205, and the 400 anniversary of Kircholm battle 1605, not to mention Krosno on the Odra River 1015, Mozgawa 1195, Jaroslaw 1245, Wilkomierz 1435, Prussian Homage 1525, Cecora 1595, all the battles of 1655 especially the siege of Czestochowa, death of Stefan Czarniecki 1665, Lwow 1675, campaign of 1945 but especially Kolobrzeg 1945, the last partizan battle of Holiszowo 1945!
you said - 'i have no idea what tool i can use to do that' - (by the way what is your sculpture scale)
well, perhaps you coud use the Clay Shapers http://www.colourshaper.com/sculpting.htm (the same company Colour shapers are little softer but also can be used)
this stuff is great and works well on all sorts of epoxy putties and clays especially -
I( being a novice in this field, in my limited range of skills and still learing to scuplt in the small scale) stopped using most of my metal tools and use instead Clay Shapers with Apoxie Sculp and MS, SS, Pemo, Plasteline, air drying clays etc.,eg. they work well with hardest Chavant NSP clays (#9 and 10 on the hardness chart)
the results are outstanding as these tools are made of silicone so they are not stiff but rather like a pencil ereaser but with an incredible precision and sharp edges. In addition nothing sticks to them and they are easy to clean. Also, since they are very smooth then sculpting surface can be smoothed out just as easy, as they leave no marks that cannot be smoothed out with a clay shaper - in short a tool for this art of miniature sculpting.
Duration of these tools - well, I got them 3-4 weeks ago but a friend from the Compleat Sculptor store in NYC has been using them for a couple of years and according to her nothing has changed in their performance.
Perhaps someone else would have some comments about these sculpting (and painting sic!) tools.
best regards

I think that's often a good idea, so you have examples of your previous work to look at to gauge your progress (y)

You could use a sharp craft knife/scalpel blade to pare down the existing teeth before making replacements; you can use a variety of tools to just push some MS into place.
