Hi all. I want to give sculpting a try. I ve looked around and came down to tow materials. Magic sculpt and sculpy. The only problem is i live in greece and the online art stores i found are in the US. Could anybody point some online stores in Europe where i can order the abovementioned materials?

Are you intending to try MagicSculp and Sculpey or picking between the two?

Concerning Sculpey, most people who have used it and SuperSculpey recommend the latter as being a big improvement. Sculpey III is another option.

In Europe a lot of people sculpting miniatures in polymer clay use Fimo which I'm sure you'd find much easier to get, although it's really quite different in characteristics (not as easy to work with IMO).

Hello,

We also have Magic Sculp in stock (imported directly from the manufacturers), as well as sculpting tools and ProCreate which can be combined with Magic Sculpt.

Which type of Fimo? I've seen people compare Fimo puppen to Super Sculpey, and more favourably than other types of Fimo.

Only hearsay on my part, but here's where I overheard it.

I would recommend Super Sculpey Firm. As name implies it harder and the grey color makes easier to spot mistakes.
Here is Sylmasta, a regural shop at Euromilitaire:

Not sure - in the old days it was definitely just plain ol' Fimo, but now it might be any of them.
