(...) Just had to go look up "Sculpy", which I presumed (correctly) was a plastic "clay". Nice results. Did you bake it at some point? I noted someone mentioned it paints better when baked. Miniature gamers/gaming magazines (rec.games.miniatures (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

Funny you should mention this! This is my (other) toy-related hobby. I use RTV rubber molds to make parts for custom action figures. I tried it once with the maiden's headdress and was able to make a pour-mold that made a passable replica. Of (...) (24 years ago, 17-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)
