I use Liquid Sculpey when I do it. I am self taught myself, and still learning, so I am very excited to have found your site. I'm new to your site, haven't looked it completely over yet, but I am very, very impressed so far. I look forward to future postings. And thanks for creating this site!

If you are looking at making little metal swords, shields, etc then what material you use to sculpt just depends on what you are comfortable with. You can make a mold of your sculpture and from there cast it in resin or some type of low melt metal. I personally haven’t cast any of my sculptures in any type of metal yet but I have created resin cast of many of my sculptures. Creating a mold is a little tricky and something I’ll have to build a tutorial on down the road. All the best, Gerald Hi Angela,

I know a guy who sells swords, jewellery, and other items, and I think he'd definitely be interested in this project. Do you use metal clay, or just any type of polymer clay? Have you tried making chainmail and shields as well? And what about castles and catapults and ballista... Sorry, I'm a medieval weaponry nut. Can you tell? But this could be worth looking into. Whoa!
