d like to know what kind of plasticine people use and were to buy the and modelling kit

the wallace and gromit modelling kit is no longer made, maybe try ebay?

i dont think you can really buy a modelling kit

oh thx anyway guys

I have heard that there will be a new W&G modelling kit coming out later this year, similar to this Shaun the Sheep one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plasticine-Shaun-Sheep-Model-Farmyard/dp/B0012NGR42/026-4575859-8170004?SubscriptionId=1VWZJCFNA70BRP2AV3R2

The new kit should be available in the shops at the end of August/start of September - we'll keep you posted!

Katie, please if there is a new one can it have Newplast, I have some newplast now but I have never had the Wallace and Gromit modelling kit. I will buy this one.

hi katie thx for the reply and i cant wait for the modelling kit to come out. good luck at aardman.

I'd safely say that newplast has got to be the best stuff to use, it's pretty thick stuff, so you'll have to warm it up a bit before you sculpt. As it is so thick however, it won't end up collapsing under the heat of studio lighting, perfect if you're going to be at it for a couple of hours.

As for the wallace and gromit model kit, (I presume you mean the plasticine one as there are some airfix kits too) I believe that some Hobbycraft stores may still have some on the shelves. Because not many places have these anymore, it might be that the price on the kit will have been reduced.

Im not really sure about this but is newplast plasticene?

Someone please reply

yes newplast plastercine, it comes in large blocks aprox £1.99 if you get it from the shops

were are armatures n newplast plasterscene sold

Is that kit still due to come out, Katie?

you can order newplast off the internet
and I just make my own wire armatures

I buy Newplast from a great shop in London, Try to get a good selection, then use proffesional armature wire with masking/cloth tape wrapped round it as an armature.

how did u get ur post to be a sun post? do they turn to sun posts after a certasin amount of posts of somin?

there is a great site called 'alec tiranti tools' that suplies my uni modeling stuff, i have also bought stuff frm them too. they sell the newplast plasticine, so if u dnt have a shop near u try the site. they have loads of other modeling things too, so take a look.

Not very proffessional, but good enough, I use play-clay. Don't mistake it for play do, it's proper plasticine with an annoying name

Is there a link for us dirty Yanks to buy a W&G modeling kit?

BJ

i use newplast. it's a bit hard at first but it's very firm and smells nicewhich is always a good thing!

I use Newplast too. I find that some colours are softer than others, not sure if it is to do with teh pigment. Anyway, I find it great stuff =D

I use it all the time in my claymations it is not too soft and has a good level of malleability!

newplast is only cheap? i thought it was all expensive

What site can we buy this ne modelling kit off plz?
