Where to buy good clay?

Post by mamerocks87 »

Where can i get some good modeling clay for cheap? I am working on making my own mold for vaccum case. Also what thickness of plastic is good to use for these cases? I would like it to be fairly thick so i doesnt feel cheap...

dickblick is fairly cheap for clay, you can normally get it even cheaper if you're in school and ask to order from a school account.

That's pretty good. Get the .080 thickness (Disregard my previous post.)

Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!
