Any body ever have the train or race track on a full sheet of plywood on a hinge on the bottom edge- so you could flip it down for play, and then flip it up for roominess? I always thought that was cool.

Hi all, I have been very sick for the last few weeks, arthritic and the brain tumor making me dizzy.
I haven't been eating well because my blood sugar sky rocketed and now it's back down.
Cushing's disease is a bitch-even tho it's the same name as my favorite hammer horror star.

So I have been experimenting while I listen to lectures and stuff on youtube with oven bake scuplty.
Not too bad, it's been almost 50 years since I molded with clay.
Hopefully to get to where I can make my own wire-silicone foam stop motion puppets and make some garage king kong shorts for fun.

These are from the tv show in 1974 land of the lost.

I am sorry that you were not feeling well. I am glad to hear that you are feeling better now.

I have always thought that "STOP-MOTION" animation was interesting. I wish you the very best of luck with it! I look forward to seeing your work!

Y'all got me beat by a mile, the closest to "sculpting" that I've gotten yet was the base for my Hydra.20200607_150335_resized.jpg
and I used Sculpy because I needed it to be hard as plastic. So once made and formed, I baked it and hardened it up. No where near y'alls abilities.

Great work sculpting a Dino monster.

King Kong styraci, aluminum foil, styrofoam filler, and floral wire, building up to a stop motion puppet soon, hot glued pieces onto the skull and mixed up green Scultpy waiting for some more on order to make it some kind of purple, so I can tribute Ray Harryhausen's Gwangi styraci. Bake at low for an hour guarantees no cracks or burns or bursts. A porous rock for scaly skin texture and air dry Sculpty knob I made for textures. those little plastic knives are great for lines, dimples, and tiny fins.

I might wash it with black or grey, the medium is Crayola air-dry clay. It dries out as a foam kind of thing that turns rock hard after weeks. mixing colors to produce a natural-looking skin tone is sketchy at best. So I settled with a purple Harryhausen Gwangi looking color, by mixing white and blue simply to make more clay of the same color.
