Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2003 10:36 pmWell, if I were you (and I'm no genius model builder) I'd start with a basic wire frame and then put masking tape over it until you've got a basic shape you want. Then I'd paper mache it (nothing fancy...just take some shredded-up newspaper and dip it in starch, just like in grade school...), apply it to your masked tape Goji, and then let it dry. Do this until you've got the right shape. Then, if you have an airbrush, you can paint it as you wish. If not, basic acrylic paint and a paintbrush will do in a pinch.
It's nothing fancy (If you are talking an actual MODEL with molds and everything, good luck and godspeed
), but it'll cost you probably a resounding total of $5-$10, take only a few hours, and can be done with little or no blood, sweat, tears, and most importantly, experience.

Wires help to support them while baking. And they are kind of flexible!
Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2004 8:35 pmHey I have some of those Super Flex clay...but they come in a set with various colors but they are such smally quantities though...I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get them in bigger portions of a single color...
Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2004 8:48 pmI have some of the basic Sculpy and have tried to make a few things... I'm afraid to commit to any one design due to my perfectionist mind...
I am gonna start a wire frame for my Omega-Goji sculpt... hope this one works...
Anyway, good luck to you! I hope you do better than I've been doing...
