I'm been trying to get Fimo at less the one you use but I can't find it at Amazon . Can you please put a link so I can get from? Thanks a lot Tom all your videos are so helpful.
Here’s a link on Amazon. Staedtler EF8005-80 Fimo Professional Soft Polymer Clay, 2 oz, Dolphin Grey www.amazon.com/dp/B00XJL0DA4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Rl5KCbN5G4WCK It’s over twice the price as you can find it in stores, but if that’s your only option than go for it.
love your videos. i have been attempting to sculpt , or at least convert, miniatures for years. i honestly never thought polymer clay was a viable medium for minis. i was wrong.... i collect 1/72nd scale minis, a hobby i acquired from my dad back in the days when 1/72nd and 25mm were approx the same scale and the only alternative was 54mm. i saw your 15mm videos, very interesting. ever do 1/72nd or 54mm? you should diversify scales. thx.
Some of my first commissions were actually 54mm miniatures. But my main love is gaming minis, so the majority of my work has been in 28mm(ish). So glad the vids are helping!
Hi Tom, your tutorials are a great inspiration and encouragement for me and it´s always big fun to watch your shows! I desperately searched for your wax #5 sculpting tool,...without success yet. Where can I get this practical bit?
Hey Tom, thanks again for that link. In the meantime I intensely searched for a dealer in Europe ...but finally ordered in Australia...with some higher postage. But we all know: A good tool has its price, right? ;-)
Hi Tom love your work really enjoy your videos they've helped me a lot!! So firstly just wanna say thank you for your help. Secondly l have a load of sculpting tools but what size Burnishing tool do you use and where's the best place on the net to pick one up?
Thanks Martyn. The large burnishing tool is a Wax #5. It’s a bit hard to find these days but you can find a similar one at Widget Supply online. The small one is only about 1/16” across. It’s homemade and I don’t know of a source to get one at that size. I’ll have to look into it.
The one I use was homemade using a piece of brass wire beaten into shape. However you can get a really nice set of tools from my friend Stefan’s site (creator of Bee’s Putty). beesputty.com/beestools/tooltip-d-dauemen-thumb-a293w-btk9y-bs4jd
Hey Tom! Great tutorials! I just finished watching pretty much everything in your back catalog right back to the videos on making armatures. I am working on making my first ever mini. I want to do a 15mm model in a fairly open (and easier to sculpt) pose. I using a bit of math for the scales I think is right I just built my armature following your first 15mm video and now I am at the spot where I can start on the actual working with clay. The problem I have is that I do not have access to green stuff or procreate to coat the armature. I have a block of fimo professional, a block of fimo classic, several blocks of fimo soft in different colors and a block or two of sculpey III. How should I coat my miniature? Should I put fimo on and bake it to get a base layer? Should I put fimo on and NOT bake it? Something else? Hopefully you see this and let me know. Thanks for being such a good inspiration
Hey Ryan. 15s can be very tough without putty. I actually prefer to sculpt 15mms only using putty. I think your best bet would be to use only the FIMO and don't bake. Do you best to get a solid foundation and make sure your clay isn't moving around too much. If you bake an under layer of clay, the new FIMO won't stick to it. Good luck!
Got a question for ya, and could use some advice : Do you ever sculpt mechanical subjects ? namely cars, planes , tanks etc ? if so could i pick your brain on the subject ? I'm working on a project right now. It's a game I really love. But I never liked the pieces that came with it. So I'm sculpting and casting (resin) a whole new set of pieces for it. Already i got the little army guys done and cast. 6 armies with 30-35 15mm figures. So 180 figures so far. Plus a set of 6 x 3 (oil, minerals, grain) resource markers for each team. They just need a paint job. Your videos on sculpting 15mm figures was a huge help. Now I'm on to the Tanks , hence the question. I have no , no , no clue on how to sculpt them. So any advice would be a great help thx
+TheRedjack77 I haven't done many mechanical sculpts, but I do have advice for you. Use solid blocks of material that you file down whenever possible. Ideally I would suggest different thicknesses of plasticard. These can by cut down and fused together to create a lot of different shapes and details. You can even create large solid blocks by using cement glue on multiple gunner sheets. From there you can sculpt in smaller details with putty. Hope that helps.

Hey Tom. Just curious, did you ever finish the Owl Swordmaster? That was a cool model, and I enjoyed watching your progress with it very much.
Thanks! I sure did: thetommason.com/product/owl-swordmaster/
