That almost looks like plasti-wood. Works like putty while wet, once dry, it sands like something between balsa and pine. My grandfather used it on his wood-working projects all the time. I'd check at Home Depot or Lowe's.

man didn't think of that , your right i remmeber useing that when i was a kid. i think i will give that a try. most of the two part puttys today are great but to hard for carving with out going through 20 knife blades.

No, you'll definitely want a two-part epoxy putty. That stuff shrinks and cracks if you use it in large amounts...

You sure he's not carving at some spray foam?

EDIT: Nope, I guess not...

Its an AB epoxy putty. I think it is tamiya, but I can't translate. It is very, very popular with Japanese modelers. I assume that is due to ready availability?

The first three images come from his WIP galleries. The last two are from the Plamo Tsukurou video of the custom figure GK.

I don't think so, I've used something very similar in the past and it set up very hard, almost like a ceramic.

It was hard to cut with a knife, but did take sanding well.

Honestly? If you're looking for 2-part modeling compounds you can't do better than Aves Apoxie Sculpt.

It will smooth water or alcohol, but the usefulness is multiplied ten-fold if you use Safety Solvent.

Ravenstar · Post by **Ravenstar** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 9:02 pm

oh Aves is a great product and i use it and many other puttys just like it . But what i have been looking for is a good putty that is carveable , meaning it will hold its form well , but carves like a renshape . I use lots of renshape and love it , but would love to get a putty that works as well for the hand sculpted stuff./
hey thanks for finding that pic , i missed it . i think i will see if i can add it to my newest order . once i get it i will let you know how it is.
