Hello Hector,

yes I know the answers. I will write the answers, but I think I send Sergey's SBS pages in e-mail.
Small introduce:
-Fimo will be liquid from water.
-The brown stuff is silikon mold. (very hard and heatresistance)

I will write today!

Cheers,

Hector,
So, the Fimo is a very cheap platicine, what is bakeable. The wet thing on the picts isn't liquidly Fimo. Sergey has baked the two site separated and after the baking he has stuck 1-2 parts together. The mould was silicone like this:

And a good blog where is Fimo used:

If you will study this sites you will able too make a super skeletons
The next – only – step is the sculpting. You need magic sculp, some tools, and a great idea, photos.
So, I think here is the time to start your first sculptorjob! Let's go! And keep us posting. I'm looking forward to see your first steps here on the planet.

Cheers,
Balázs

Hi Balázs
I got FIMO, Magic Sculpt, Milliput, kneadatite and super sculpey. I wanted to try the different epoxies and see how they behave. As far as I have read each have its own purpose, although some like FIMO and Super Sculpey are similar, they have different applications.

My greatest experience is in advertising illustration which was my bread and butter for over 27 years. I have done very little figurative stuff in clay (terracota) and that was more than 36 years ago when I lived in Spain!!! I just have to get over the initial fear so I think will start fooling around with oil-based clay before moving on to the epoxies.

It is the Holidays her in the US and my home is a mad house. My mother and my grown up sons and their families are staying in my house so I think my adventure won't start until after the first of the year!!!

I hope you realize that I really appreciate you being so helpful and kind in trying to help me... I am ignorant in the field of epoxies but hopefully I can transfer my draftsmanship skills unto it ....I just need good ideas! Hopefully I'll do well and won't let myself down and will be able to show something it will make you guys proud of this your student and admirer. Take care and if you celebrate..Happy Holidays.

Hector,

don't worry! If you have doubts about the first results, buy some Hornet heads and hands, begin with this the sculpting. If you work on a 54mm figure the materials are very cheap. Try, try and try!

Happy hollydays! I'm looking forward your works in the new year!

Cheers,
Balázs

I have moulded the first horse and I have made a resin copy, but I wasn't satisfied. I want more dinamic for an atacking Hussar, so I started a new sprinter with old parts.
