Want to have a go at sculpting

[garyhiggins]

Hello Chris, I sculpt in magic sculpt IMO the easiest material to use. For tools I use dental tools from Alec Tiranti Ltd,also small sharp & large blunt needles glued into end of dead paintbrushes. And a no.3 scalpel with no.15 blade. I have a basic mannequin in 90mm that I press mould when I want to start a new figure, just drill the pieces & join them together with wire ( 1.6mm). If you want one you,re welcome.
best wishes Garyhiggins

Some simple scale charts...

I use these when working up armatures and checking dimensions, lengths, etc. All of these were posted at one time on PlanetFigure, so I can't take credit for any of them. Hope you find them helpful and keep at it!

All the best,
Dan
