I've started sculpting a mammoth for my 54mm prehistoric tribe to hunt. I'm using Super Sculpey over a foil and wire armature. You can watch my progress here: link Here are the first steps: link I'm not sure how long it will take or how often I'll work on it, but it's finally started! ("Finally," because I've been talking it up on my blog for a couple months now.) |

It looks like a good start. |

Columbian mammoth – nice! Needs a bit of publicity beside the woolly variety. Don't show it on any GW forums though, or they'll accuse you of ripping off mamuks… Nice start. The only two things I'll say are: mind the bulk as you build it up. And I'm not so sure about pure GS for the tusks. If you mix it with a hard-curing putty it should be easier to sand the tusks smooth. Could even work by mixing the GS with sculpey and baking as normal, but I'm not sure how well that'd work. It's a matter for better experience, or experimentation. -----
