Amazing Material for Animation This stuff is incredible. It's a soft, clean, dry "clay" that molds easily and dries to be as lightweight as styrofoam. For clay animation, its very useful for creating props or parts of puppets that need mass. Since its so much lighter than modeling clay, you can build up your puppet with Model magic first. Then once its dry you can costume the puppet and cover the exposed areas in clay. A tip: plasticine modeling clay doesn't stick to dry Model Magic very well. Wrap a sheet of tinfoil over the Model magic first to make a "skin" that the clay sticks to securely. You can also paint it or color it with regular markers. Note: very thin pieces of Model magic break off of dry sculptures. Avoid making long extended pieces from your sculpture, unless you can put wire inside, like a chenille stem. |
