- The following video covers the techniques I use to make scale figures using Sculpey (firm). My figures often have movable features like a head that can swivel.

Modeling a railway set in the 1930s off the coast of Italy in a fictional village called Amalfitano. The people and the railway have their stories. Along the way I will share these stories, how to’s and updates on the little Gn15 scale railway.

I work a lot with miniatures and have always bought my figures because I never had the confidence to make them myself. That is until I stumbled across your videos. I bought some clay and tools and followed your tutorial and couldn't be happier. My first figure turned out amazing and I really enjoyed sculpting it so now I'm hooked. lol Thank you so very much and please keep the awesome videos coming. Huge Fan!! Have a blessed day!!
I am so glad you like it and are starting to make your own.
Love your sculpting great job, I truly enjoyed the video. I have never used the firmer Sculpy but I have used the softer and I thought I’d offer a suggestion to help smooth out the clay. I’m assuming that it would work for the firm as well as the softer Clay. I put cornstarch on my fingers, and rub it in circles, it really helps to smooth things out.
I really appreciate the suggestion. I should also use a firm brush.
Thank you so much.
You are very patient.
I enjoyed watching this video as there is not a lot out there about making your own figures.
I think if figures are made like puppets with large heads, feet and hands it gives them so much character.
I can get ordinary clay or polymer clay.
Is that okay?
Can I make the little moulds you have in black plastic from 1.5mm
Birch ply wood?
I could draw half a figure and mirror it?
How do you make them sitting down please?
Can you do a video on that and also the painting?
I would very mucg appreciate that.
Many thanks from Australia!
Thanks for the video idea. Yes I will do a video on sitting figures.
Thanks for the info. I'll definitely give it a go. I've used sculpy before for tree bark and found it really good but never the firm version. Incidentally, in a previous video you wondered what videos other people watched - here's one you might like (if you have a spare two hours). The latest video on a channel called Hanabira Koubou (or @hanabira6440) might be worth a look. They end up making six dioramas in total - the last ones being the most elaborate. Somewhere between 1-12 and 1-24 I think, but I find it hard to judge. Either way there's a lot of interesting techniques used, including a lot of re-purposed materials which I always find inspiring.

Thanks for the recommendation Kev
