I’ve been using air hardening clay for the first time in aaaaages and the lack of detail is as bad as I remember. But I noticed that unset clay doesn’t like to bond to set clay so easily. It takes patience and a drop of water to get the edges joined up.
With that in mind I thought if I could utilise that somehow. Soooo…
I used some clay to make a mould of a 10mm mini that I made and left it on as the clay set. The skull I pressed onto a skull and carefully took it away straight away. After these moulds set I pressed in a tiny amount of clay and took them away straight away.
The new copies need to set still but I am feeling hopeful that they will turn out well. Not for highly declaimed things but rank and file models or skulls that are going to become a small part of a terrain piece. And this clay responds well to superglue so far.
