Hello every one,
I now have decided what my first sculpture will be - a character of the video game "Tomodachi Collection" (because they are very simplistic and seem easy enough to sculpt) and this Post of mine will be updated with pictures as I go!
I thought to sculpt it with oil clay (since its the first thing I do and I am scared Air Drying .. well dries before its done, and the other clay will crack when I heat it in the oven)
Then I would like to mold it in Silicone and cast in Plastic.
Only thing worrying me is the 2 sided mold. (When I make the first side I support my oil clay sculpture with....oil clay! wont that stick to the sculpture and therefore make the other side unusable?)
The last days I did nothing but research and would like to buy lots of stuff now. Sadly I couldnt find any of it in the nearby Supply shops and did not find a Japanese Internetsite (I live in Japan and guess that US or EU shops either dont ship to Japan or have way to expansive shipping costs) that sells the stuff you need for sculpting, molding and casting.
Still looking for all that stuff so...until I found a place to buy stuff from I sadly cant start - though even though I made research on the topic for days I still dont even know what i SHOULD buy....maybe my initial thought of Oil clay is wrong for the project I think of)
PS: I actually would like to register at paint-sculpt.com and the 405th for many questions I still have but sadly both pages dont accept new members anymore....
sorry to post in this forum even though i have nothing to show for now...
thank you for reading
kind regards
