  It's a heat curing (275 degrees) polymer clay suitable for dolls or or small craft figures. It can be modeled when soft and filed or sanded when cured. It can also be painted with acrylic paints.

      Everything picks up crud the longer it sits about so the answer has to be yes and no.

        Ha, tell me about it !!!
        
        I use a stuff called Efa plast by Eberhard Faber from K-mart, its pretty cheap and air dries. Superior to clay in many regards but its not as nice to work with and is a little more squishy so you have to build it up in layers.

    Hey Gary, or anyone, can you tell me a good place to order sculpey from? I found this one:
    
    www.misterart.com/brands/Sculpey/
    
    The price they're asking at the art shop is BS.
    
    Also, for maquetts do you recomend a particular line, like ultralight, super sculpey etc.
    
    Thanks.

      The Complete Sculptor has a lot more professional grade materials than Mister Art but Mister Art has cheaper prices. I've used both and had good experiences so it's your choice.
