Very helpful. Thanks.

I used sculpey sculpey III to make Clifford the Big Red Dog and it got destroyed in the oven and while trying to super glue it

do you guys think coating the thinnest Fimo test with UV resin would make it very very difficult to break?

Another youtuber used double sided sticky tape to hold the cobochens while she painted them. How do you make fox or cat eyes?

What would happen if you mixed cernit, say the translucent one, with Fimo? Would it make it stronger? Would the baking time make a difference? I'm in the UK too and the Cernit range is minimal at best here and very expensive. Fimo is the cheapest and easiest one to get.

Thanks so much, I've always been a fan of sculpey for its variety of products. I was just shopping for new clays though and was indecisive between cernit and fimo. I think I'll go with cernit.

This helped alot and I appreciate you making this video for us all to learn!

Amazing video! Thank you so much!

Foam clay (it’s air dry though ) is more flexible than cos clay. 😂😭 judging from your video, It hasn’t changed at all. 😅

Thanks a lot for this video, never used cernit and I was very curious about it. Cheers

Klasse 👏 👏 👏 👏

I painted eye's the very same way as you, they look marvelous and give the illusion that they follow you around the room. The only problem that I had was when I stored them in small airtight containers they tended to stick to eachother even though they had been drying for a minimum of two days!!! I now dust the eye's with Talcum Powder or corn starch before they are stored away, just wipe off the powder before using the eye's. Thank you for your video, hints and tips... BIG THUMBS UP 👍😷👍

Excellent! Where is the follow up to show how to do the rest of the hand?

Hi, thanks for this great tutorial. Where do you buy your mini glass cabochons?

I've asked several people why my sculpey figures crack with time and they told me it doesn't. However, I have a crack on each of my sculpey sculptures. Thank you so much for this and for confirming the experience I also had. I've recently switched to Fimo to test it and appreciate you doing this. I've never seen the other brand of clay and will have to look for it.

Looks great!!!!

Love this thank you

the joker reference was funny as hell, really cool video!!

Hell yea

Thank you for this video! I too waws very curious and wanted to use different polyer clays for my future dolls and this helped greatly. Thank you <3

Well of course your sculpey broke during baking, aluminum bends easily when heated up, not to mention that a single twisted pair of aluminum is inadequate to hold that much material you've put on that sculpture. :D Sculpey is for modelling, so it tries to keep it's shape and volume as much as it's possible during the baking process. Make an armature frame that can take some weight, and it wont crack. (Edit): it is also worth to note that Sculpey is much better for painted minis, since baked Sculpey has a much more rigid surface.

If it begins to smell like chemicals in the oven, then either the baking time is too long or the temperature is too high. From my experience,for thinner claypieces like maybe 3 cm, 15 min baking time is enough. For thicker pieces I would use 30 min, but never baking over the max. temperature.

You can save your brush by wrapping it in tinfoil after you're done. I use a paper towel to squeeze out the excess resin and then wrap the brush a ferrule up with the tinfoil. The resin remaining in the brush won't cure and your brush will stay flexible for your next use.

Thanks for the tutorial. Really helped me sculp better hands.

Sorry to compare but Ace of Clay uses Sculpey all the time. As do many American artists. I wonder if its how they are shipped. Thank you for your information!!!

As someone starting out this was helpful, thank you

Is it okay to double bake the palm ? (It won't crack ?)sorry I'm just starting

I love that beard :D and hair style :)... Also I'm a big fan of dwarfs :)

Bummer. Did you specifically order Cosclay’s white box clay? That line seems to be an older formulation and their website states it needs extra conditioning. The new product looks a bit different and is definitely more flexible.

You sound Polish. Are you Polish?

I like the simplicity of the armature. It's very easy to create. Thank you for your tutorial. I'm new at sculpting so this video was very helpful. Hope to see more videos soon.

Hey, I got Cosclay Sculpt in soft gray and it works great. It does not appear to be as soft as your clay either. It is more firm than it looks from your video. It also does not break like your clay did. That clay you bought looks terrible, you should show that video to cosclay and ask them to replace it. I had to try hard to break mine after baking it. I kept bending it back and forth very hard and it only finally broke from it heating up with friction. I made a spiral and a few other things to test it. I recommend retrying Cosclay but get the gray sculpt kind. You definitely got a bad batch there. Glad my first experience was not like that or I probably would never have bought it again. Hope that is helpful!

I prefer to not cut the wire. Instead I bend the wire up then twist it back down for each finger.

Thanks for the great tutorial!

Scupley souffle is really good to! Thanks for the video.

5:30 what are you painting onto the jar?

How is this a tutorial when there isn't really any instructions?

This is Exactly the video i needed! I want to make figures that aren't allergic to being handled! Cernit it is, thank you for this! ^^

you mentioned the Lighting, and how it makes it look overexposed how many lights you use when you record ur videos? i saw a video on how to set up lighting for Stop motion animation I think this falls in the same category, I will try and look for the video if you like? also, I do like mythical creatures and GODs think I'll also start sculpting the head and baking it to use as the base along with the rest of the body parts or some. ty

started with ur comparson video, and flipped to watch you scuplt this goblin when you showed the female goblin, was interested in how you made her stand without a platform, I tell ya its not an easy task especially for person like me when it comes to working with the colored polymer Clay's its different cuz of the smearing of the colors in hands, but some I saw they don't get much smearming, how I don't know me man hands like a rainbow, imsa have to stick with super Sculpey and juz paint it after, but hope to see you make more videos, ill sub to help out

you know i was watching ur other video comparisons of which polymer clays more durable, I decided to have a look at ur Ch, and found this hand's video. Been having a tuff time making the hands with like Fimo, Sculpey, you know the colored clays, gets sticky and hard to keep its form, ima going to have to try like ur doing here, also the head on the chin part, the only clay I don't have a problem with is super Sculpey original I can work it without losing the form hands no problem, the head comes out like a head chin easy, it's just the color clays i been finding difficult and I bought a bit too much LoL but I started to use it after well 4 to 6 months some is crumbly, etc, any tips I don't want to throw it away and thank you for the hand's video putting it one glass seems better to sculpt the hands. one more question that wire you made is a good idea, you be able to bake the hands-on that wire hand holder without them getting stuck on the wire?

It's nice to meet Sarah who has the same hobby.^^

This is such a great and clear tutorial , thank you for making this :)

Thank you for this video and experiment! I literally was about to buy the cosclay and thought wait, look for KZfaq videos first. I had heard about cosclay when they were looking for funding and was exited, but knew to wait till they got it all together. “Sigh”. Guess not yet huh. I do like your art, really good stuff!

Hello , now that I am retired, I would like to start figurine sculpture! From what I see in your video, you start with a baked Fimo dough ball, then you add and shape the dough into a face shape, and then you model without adding any material? do you have some advice to give me please? thanks for avace! and well done for your great work!

I rarely paint but this was a pretty cool tutorial. I'll have to give this a try. Thanks!

I dint know which country you live in, but here in Denmark you get Cernit in 250 gram.

Thanks a lot

Big fan of original artwork, that one turned out pretty cool.

If you bake the Fimo professional for 2 hours it becomes much stronger.
