"Premo, Fimo, Kato, Sculpey for Wargaming Terrain?" Topic

There is all sort of sites and tutorials for the general use of polymer clays:

sculpey.com

etc.

However, has anyone done tutorials for wargaming terrain applications?

Thanks.

I have not done a turorial, but I do use the stuff. It is great.

For me it is more readily accessible than Greenstuff.

I have even sculpted entire minis out of it. My wooly rhino for Tusk is a great match to the Irregular dinos.

I've made a large (for me) Femur Island, for Pirates of the Caribbean. Reaction was mixed.

I've used Sculpey to adhere a figure to a penny sized object, then more Sculpey to texture that base, then pop the lot in the oven at 275* for 15 minutes to solidify it. Works well.

I suppose washers would work as well, just as long as the base is metal. Magnets survive the process too.

I'm making asteroids for Full Thrust out of Sculpey.
ROll a bit flat, texture with a special rolling pin with holes drilled in it;
wrap the Sculpey carefully around a pin head, leaving it somewhat hollow;
stick the asteroid pins into a sacrificial blob of Sculpey to hold them upright;
then, once out of the oven, hold the pin with pliers, heat the pointy end and insert in a black flight stand.
The final appearence, with 6 blackwashed-grey-drybrushed asteroids sticking up around the flightbase is excellent.

Sorry, I have no picture uploading equipment to illustrate this.

another way you could try this to produce asteroids is to use a core of aluminum foil or such, wrap the core with about 1/16" thick blanket of sculpty, then use another bit of wadded aluminum foil to 'press the sculpty' into the core foil. Be sure to wet down your pressing foil to reduce stickage. Cook it and you should get an interestingly textured 'roid.

I could be mistaken, but I believe Seth Nash sculpts in Fimo, with fantastic results (check out the Jotun he did for Hasslefree).

Large " Garage " kits aare almost all sculpted with Sculpey . Gremlins.com has the large kits . and some sculpting ideas . for bigger kits.

Thanks Ming31. This list seems promising:
