Hands down Apoxie sculpt A and B . they are perfect for sculpting repairs and seam work to assemble a kit as well as a texture pad. You can put alittle non-stick spray on the surface of the object then press a small amount , about the size of a silver dollar press it into the surface then carfully peel it back and let it harden in a few hours and you have yourself a texture stamp to replicate skin detail across your joints of the model. Its the Best.

Thanks Shane, I'll give it a go! Ilike the idea of making firmer texture stamps as I usually use repliscale wich although quick and easy makes a quite flimsy stamp. Once I made firmer stamps with super sculpey, but it was a lot of effort with the baking etc as each model needs its own unique stamp. I found using repliscale with wonderputty quite good but you have to time it just right, too early and the pattern smooths out, too late and the putty is too hard to take an impression! do you know if Apoxie sculpt behaves in a similliar way? if so is there an optimal time that you should apply the stamp?

I thought Wonder Putty was just a kind of plumber's epoxy. Magic Sculp and Aves Apoxy are more aimed at the modelling market.
Putties I have had experience with-
Magic Sculp http://www.magicsculp.com/
Aves Apoxie Sculpt http://www.avesstudio.com/
Amazing Sculpt http://www.amazingsculpt.com/
My fave by far is Magic Sculp. It feels nice to sculpt with and holds detail really well. Apoxie is pretty good too.
Amazing Sculpt is much smoother compared to the other two (it was designed for customising model Breyer horses, but it can be used for other things) and lacks the firmness of the other two.
Pick either Magic Sculp or Aves Apoxie and you can't go wrong
I have heard good things about Procreate putty but I have not tried it.
Thanks both of you for your advice! Wonder putty was made by the Alchemy works specifically for filling and detailing models it seems like it may be very similiar to Magic Sculp as it is a 2 part epoxie resin. Thanks again I'll research all your suggestions and decide whats best for me

Hi guys and gals, Alchemy works don't seem to be selling wonderputty at the moment, do any of you know of a similiar product on the market? I've used wonderputty before and other things like milliput but have to say wonderputty is the best I've used esp in conjunction with repliscale wich is also usually sold by Alchemy works. Any ideas would be appreciated

Looking at other pictures of your apatosaurus, I've just realised that Martin has modified the way the tail curles... (down and forward instead of down and rearward). That should make it a bit shorter!
Hi Cirex, I think Martin has'nt modified the tail in this pic, I think I'm right in saying that this is how the original kit looks. The other pics with the tail arcing backwards are modifications that Shane made himself, correct me if I'm wrong  I totally agree with you that it is a beautiful thing, I'm saving up for one myself. Diplodocus would be nice but personally I'd prefer a 1/15 Giraffatitan, now that would really require some serious shelf space!

I got my Majunga and Chasmo earlier in the week and I'm really pleased with both of them  I'm looking at the Majungasaurus now having fun deciding what the paint scheme might be! I think both animals look much better in the flesh than they do in any of the pictures I've seen. I can't wait for the Paraceratherium to arrive!

Joel i know your a dino dude but consider this, having the largest land mammal ever standing next to my dinosaurs in your collection will be a great display and give persective to those looking at them. I will keep you posted on the casting numbers.
A Mammal it may be, but WHAT a mammal! It's a bona fide Rhinosaurus rex, that's what it is!

I had that book as a kid, thanks for sharing!
However, forum attachment aren't really suitable for gallery-style posts. It would be better, and easier for you in the long run, to upload the pics onto an image host - Thanks! See: http://www.dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,173.0.html 
Oh ok, sorry I'm a bit of a numb skull when it comes to the internet, I'll do that in future thanks.

Before I could read I asked my Mum what the grey one was called she said Tricertops so I went charging around the local shop with my fingers for horns shouting look out I'm Tricertops! until an older kid said It's TricerAtops you little idiot!....I was'nt very happy with Mum when we looked in the book again and she said no he's right it is Triceratops!
