Ohhh, Caracal! You not only repaint models, you also MADE them!! And with superb results!!! I'm falling in love with you (just joking ) I tought recently in buy some day these kind of "clay" for make my own models too, but this is for the far future :) First I need to get the already done figures that I still lack :)

Thank you Pardofelis, this kind of clay is "WePAM", an organic past which is dry after 1 hour and which glues with water!.. :)

I'm interested about it. Oh, one must work quickly if the past dry in only 1 hour! Very much detailed images maybe are impossible to do. I'm interested in know if you can do a model with a portion of this past and keep the remaining one in the refrigerator for use in next days? Or it will dry anyway?

You never stop making me happy and surprised and impressed !!!

This bear is just thr most wonderful little bear ever

And thankyou very much for the great series of pictures, - I just can't get the silly smile off my face again

thanks Susanne for your so nice words!.. :)

Pardofelis, this past is cheap and very easy to use, you have 1 h to model your piece as you like, and just wet the remaining past before closing it carefully in its bag and in its box.. then, when your piece is dry, you just have to model an other piece with the remaining past, and glue it with the previous one with water, and so and so, piece by piece you realise the model of your dream!.. I don't know if there is a place on this forum to post tutorials but if there is one, I'll try to do it..

You're really talented and you support your works with a good research what is very important too. I like the 1:32 scale, it is a classic scale in toy history and very adjusted to make large animals. Wonderful that you used the Starlux representative to compare with your figure.
There is a section for tutorials on forum, just click here! :)

Thanks for the advice and tutorial! I think some quantity of this past and some acrilic paints will be in included with my next big shipment of figures, maybe for my birthday or Christmas

thank you Rogério for your congratulations! :)
you're right, 1:32 scale is more adapted for big animals and also, to make dioramas.. That's why I am very happy to see the main brands releasing mini models in toobs or sets!

Beautieful work
