Making Tiny Stop Motion Hands with Cosclay

I managed to get my hands on some Cosclay! Which was pretty difficult because I am in the UK and there is only one stockist, I had to wait 6 weeks for delivery but I finally got a chance to test it today..
I got mine here: www.mouldlife....

I did some testing with cosclay and some paint, Found that FX flexible acrylic paint made by Plaid seems to have a higher durability with the bendy clay then standard acrylic.

You need to mix the paint with a flexible material, such as liquid latex. Then it won't crack when bending.

[@Whetzell]

Fabric acrylic paint will probably solve the problem with the cracks

[@vugar011]

Just interesting, why don't you use thinner wire?

[@TheDreamSyndicateArts]

I saw the paint cracking coming. It'd probably be worthwhile to explore mixing Cosclays that are a pretty close match the flesh tone you're going for. I do a semi-paper mache technique of medical paper tape over armature wire and if you add pigment to your glue or Mod Podge, you get less cracking. Though it's def a time-consuming process!

Do people not realize they can make custom hands for their dolls and make them posable?

IKR!! Even the basic joints.

I love the commentary haha

[@km2032]

What paint do you use please? 😊

[@negromancer2698]

i use kintsuglue for my stopmotion hands but im going to get some cosclay bc kintsuglue starts cracking after a while

[@sufferedenuf]

Ok. Now that time gas passed, how is it holding up? What is the best clay that stays flexible? I use Bondo which is polymer. Any suggestions?
