Some time ago I promised to show a little tutorial on modeling of the figure. As you can see - nothing secret, and especially science fiction is missing here.

I use several materials and stirring them get intermediate properties. Green Stuff after drying is a little "rubber" Magik sculpt after drying becomes more rigid. If you do seshivaete, you get the average properties. From the Green Stuff to sculpt a better fine detail, from Magik sculpt - better to make the basis of the figure. Green Stuff - a sticky (and to the frame(skeleton) pieces and instruments)

This is a really good Tutorial , Step by Step . My own expieriences are , you can´t learn it just by watching it .
You have to try . I learn it Step by Step , Poses , Proportions , Details like Chainmail , Faces and now i´m working on accurate Hands . I did buy a Video , but some of the Technics don´t work for me , i have to learn it my way .
Try it , it´s no Witchcraft , exept Alex´s works

bullshit he have cast a spell on you!
I bought that Magic sculp, trust me there no magic in it!
It stick on your hair,fingers,furniture and your cat.
you get stomach pain by eating it. There's no magic in it

No but i think it easiest to try edith orginal figures and have patience.
but more info is allways welcom.

Jager - Can not understand what you mean ... but I just wanted to say that the sculpture consists of small pieces of solutions 2 tasks:
1 - the actual sculpture. And for this we must simply learn anatomy. Now a lot of good books. But I think the best guide - book Gottfried BAMMES - author unjustly wronged and forgotten. It does not redraw the pictures, he builds the body structure is divided into geometric shapes.
2 - is a technology-using the material to any of them (Magik sculpt, Gren Stuff) just have to get used to and pick up tools. If you are annoyed that the material sticks to the tools and your fingers - it is better to have on the table beside a bowl of water (but do not lick tool ever!)
But in general I'm always glad I will answer questions, but write a book - I have to do is not so good.

Then use "A+B modelling putty". It doesn´t stick to your fingers and can be formed very nicely. But water is very important for the use of every modelling putty.

Sorry for my bad english. I was a bit ironic and i am useing goggle translate sometimes.
How is the skeleton made? twisting, solder, weld or super glue.

Or the first layer putty dryed to keep the skeleton together?

The sword is it a skeleton in it?
