I want to make a model figure for a friend of mine for their birthday. Something along the lines of a ShowToy Collectibles type figure, highly detailed. Doesn't have to be pose-able or interchangeable but if anyone knows how to pull that off that would be even better.
I plan on sculpting it out of WED clay and then casting it and painting it. I am not sure if this would be a good method or not. I also need to find small glass eyes to use in the final model.
What would be the best casting material to make the figure from ?
I am assuming casting the clay using silicone would be the best way to make the mold from the clay sculpture.
Any tips tricks or suggestions would be appreciated as I have never done this before.
