What clay is that Chavant medium ?I'm exploring different clays lately and have a box of soft on it's way.The Medium is quite hard.Justin<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndThanks Justin! I love to hear good comments especially from "The Man" himself! Dig it! <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /> The Clay I used is Chavant Professional Plastaline. It's an oil based clay and its pretty soft. The sulphur in it makes it kinda stink but oh well. Yeah Jason Zyla of old NFX first introduced me too it when I was apprenticing with him and its all that I've used my 6 years of mask making. However I just started playing with Chavants NSP clay and I guess I like it so far but since its wax based its alot firmer and tackier and I'm just not used to it yet. I actually did my chest piece I mentioned with it. I sometimes have a hard time de-molding because its such a soft clay but its easy to work with and its nice if you want to get something done quick. I guess I'd compare it to WED clay but this stuff wont ever dry out.-Bill
