    The NICE part about the model magic is that it's SO lightweight. I've used it for cosplay props and it's awesome because of how light it is (and it doesn't break easily, but when it does, white glue holds it back together wonderfully). My main negative about Model Magic? Well, I used it to make a mask once. The heat from my body and the hot outdoor temperatures caused it to melt. to. my. face. Buuut, back on the positive side, it holds acrylic paint REALLY well, and it doesn't chip!

    I'm currently using it as part of my Halloween costume. I'm making it a wearable velociraptor head, and I used Model Magic for the teeth, gums, and will be using it around the eyes. Since everything is going on my head, the extreme lightweight is a godsend, and so far I really haven't had too many negatives with it, other than some cracking in the gums. It takes paint well, and a little seems to go a long way in terms of volume. Even the cost was reasonable! $4 for 4oz, and I think I've used 5-6oz altogether

    Cosplayer here! Model magic has a lot of great uses in cosplay, usually when used in tandem with other materials. For making certain accessories- especially if you’re wearing them on top of your head- it’s a lot more lightweight than polymer or airdry clay- Homestuck cosplayers frequently used it to make horns and such!

    • @cutedarkarts
      @cutedarkarts 6 лет назад +1

      Vegraptor Cosplay all my horns are pretty lightweight, and I NEVER used model magic. Some of them are polymer and others are normal airdry. It's all about how you make them. Foil cores are essential for any large clay projects, so it makes sense to do the same for clay props. And the airdry and polymer are less likely to crack, and will last longer anyways, so just invest in the higher quality products.

      Yeah model magic was the trending way to make troll horns back in the day; even I still have some. But tbh theres Clay's that do the job WAY better for a similar price. Most paper/foam clays are equally light, sandable, and paintable, without the horrible cracking issues, and are more durable.
      Just 'cause it's a popular cosplay trend, doesn't mean it's the best option... (I'm lookin at YOU, people who use foundation/concealer as lipstick for crossplay!!)

    I think the main issue is comparing it to sculpey and its price point. Model magic is supposed to be used for light weight projects. Like if a kid wanted to make a snake tiara or something. Also a single package of model magic is about 3 dollars, so the pack of model magic compared to the single pack of sculpey wasn't a fair comparison either. A pack of sculpey with multiple colors is $22. Also in terms of weight, model magic is a light weight clay, where as sculpey is a heavy dense clay. You're not getting less product, it's just a lighter product. You wouldn't compare bubble gum and cotton candy for weight. Like you said it's not a fair comparison because they are such different products. I will say model magic is really flimsy though. If someone wanted to make it more durable they would need to coat their project in resin, but that does increase weight and price point.

  • @mirandathomas5179
    @mirandathomas5179 6 лет назад +436

    Eh sorry Jackie can't say I totally agree with you on this one. Polymer clay is for more complex projects and modle magic is for children like 7 and up. So tbh, they are going to be different if you compare a more complex product to a childrens' item. So with all due respect i m sticking to my conclusion. 👍

      Agreed, but cracks CAN be saved. If you keep a close eye on it, you can smooth over hairline cracks with a bit of water. And slightly larger cracks can be filled with superglue.
      But ultimately most paperclays, of a similar price, do the job better with less risk of cracking

My biggest complaint with it is that for that money, they should give it to you in reusable tubs (like play doh), instead of the disposable packets it comes in.

      Btw, I recently discovered that you can “reconstitute” this stuff after it dries out... literally just add water! If you spritz it with water and knead it, it will absorb the water. You can keep spritzing and kneading until it comes back to “normal” or softer.

    Hey, Jackie!
    I know you don't approve of the Model Magic, but I have the white Model Magic and I've used it to fix my Grandma's Triceratops keychain figure.
    Actually, my Mom wanted me to fix her elephant figure first, which was bigger than the keychain figure. Now at first I WAS skeptical as to whether this would work or not, since it's not regular clay...BUT it DID work after I was done recreating the trunk on the elephant figure!
    As for the triceratops, since the tail was the only one that needed to be recreated and it's small, it was a pretty good fix success! I only used some Elmer's Glue around the base of the tail, to give it extra strength and to give it extra hold to the figure. And I only used watercolor paints and water color pencils to give the tail details for color.
    In my personal opinion, I think the Model Magic DOES have some advantages. And for Doll Crafters, I can see this stuff be used as a kind of alternative to make doll armors and certain accessories in place of craft foam.

    I made an army of Pokémon out of model magic clay. Definitely worth it for fun but not for selling though. Use water to smooth and get rid of stains. I was a kid so I just used spit. It’s air dry clay. It’s supposed to stop sticking

    so i know im late to the video but if you really want an air dry clay, get hearty. Its really good, dries so much faster and tends to be much cheaper then crayola, smells so much better and you can mix paint with the white so you can make custom colours so much easier and feels so nice.

  • @soniccookie655
    @soniccookie655 6 лет назад +9

    This is air dry clay, you need a small dish of water to smooth and re-moisten often. You moisten a piece before you stick it on. And you smooth out cracks and anything else with moist fingers.

  • @alfredfreedomjones5105
    @alfredfreedomjones5105 5 лет назад +7

    Most air dry clay say 48-72 hours but i find that majority of my creations take a little bit more than 12 hours. (Most of my charms fit in my hand)

    • @kstormgeistgem461
      @kstormgeistgem461 5 лет назад +1

      i would guess the thickness and size would be a big factor in the drying times. smaller thinner pieces = less time needed. the thicker the piece the more time needed.
      and even then, thicker pieces might not Actually Be dried completely through.
      just my thoughts anyway. that's usually the logic for most things... regardless of the medium.
      at least that's been my experience. from baking actual edibles to painting, etc.

    Probably would have been more fair to compare it with other air dry clay like Mermaid Puffy or something, but I still like the video.
    Edit: Water helps a lot when working with air dry clay to make you have a bit more work time and for smoothing.

  • @minacapella8319
    @minacapella8319 2 года назад +2

    Also, a couple of things you may not have considered here:
    The clay you're comparing it to weighs significantly more per mass, which means a .5 to a 1 Oz pack isn't as much less as you'd think. Secondly, this box isn't the most cost effective way to buy it. The best I can find is 4 Oz of a single color, for 3.50 usd and it gives you more than enough to outpace a thing of oven bake that is typically around the same price. But you can't use one like the other so your project may be better suited for one over the other or not suited for one option like, at all, so definitely ymmv.

  • @ohfudgeart3523
    @ohfudgeart3523 6 лет назад +8

    If it stops sticking, use some water to wet the clay. This also helps with smoothing. Keep a cup of water nearby, it isn’t that much of a hassle. It is really annoying when clay droops... I would recommend buying just white clay and mixing in paint for pastels. Great video!

  • @ratzonskatez9550
    @ratzonskatez9550 5 лет назад +1

    I use this type of clay and I learned that a small soak (in less than 4 centimeters of water) will make it dry much more solid, though it will feel a bit weird and you can't handle it until it's completely dry and I only recommend doing this after the creation has almost completely dried.

  • @paulinesclayground8844
    @paulinesclayground8844 6 лет назад +4

    I'm not sure it's fair to do comparisons of products that are nothing alike in their use. It's kind of like comparing apples against oranges. They will never compare because they aren't the same thing. Polymer clay and air dry clay are entirely different products with entirely different uses. In fairness, comparing polymers clays against each other or comparing air dry clays against each other would be a fair thing to critique.

    • @nerdecrafter
      @nerdecrafter  6 лет назад +1

      +Pauline's Clayground it's both fair and unfair. The use of both clays (polymer and air dry) is to make creations that are similar in structure. So it's fair to assume they should both stick to reach other, maintain structural integrity, and have playability imo. Of course I wasn't fair to bake it, but that's the fun part lol

    • @paulinesclayground8844
      @paulinesclayground8844 6 лет назад +2

      I work extensively with both air dry and polymer clays and there are techniques for both that allow you to do similar things. The techniques are just different from one another because the composition of the clays are different. I won't claim to know anything about this air dry clay you demo'd but I can see that you would have been able to do much the same things as with polymer clay using techniques that are specific to air dry clay. Still, your videos are very entertaining and you're doing we Canadians proud with your efforts! Keep up the good work! :)

    It's good for children, especially small children. I am a visual art teacher; I like the fact magic model is not messy. No water or heating is necessary. That helps for smooth classroom transition and easy storage.The students have an easy time manipulating the clay too. My first and second graders made cool Yayoi Kusama inspired pumpkins for summer camp. The pumpkins came out very well. Other teachers thought I purchased the pumpkins premade and placed dots on them. No, my students made them by hand.

    Air Dry paper clays can be dyed with acrylic paint. So color choices aren't a big deal as long as you have white.
    They can be smoothed with water while you're working.
    Model Magic is fairly popular only because it's so readily available, and single color packs are cheapish.

    I think your expectations were too high. This is something geared towards little kids, not experienced crafters. It has its benefits, depending on what you plan to do with it. It works great for me with molds. I don't usually do free form with clay. I'm assuming that it stuck together better at first, because it was more moist. It probably dried somewhat while you were working with it.
