Is there easier sculping with green stuff or sculpey?

For miniatures, Green stuff works better, but it is HARD to use when you first start. Sculpey is much different as it has no "memory" and retains any shape you sculpt into it. Greenstuff has to be constantly worked as it keeps trying to go back to a blob.

I order it online. That's the only way just about anyone can get it. It's real name is kneadatite (blue yellow)

last question, do you bake this material? or just dry with air?

here's the tricky part. Green stuff is an epoxy putty, so you mix two parts, once mixed you have about an hour and a half to work with it (45 minutes at the least depending on your ratio)
It takes 24 hours to copmletly cure however you can speed this up to about 20 minutes with a homemade curing oven. (a small light bulb and a coffee can should do (metal)
You have to learn to work in sections, left calf and foot, let it harden, right calf and foot etc.
it can be tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it it's no big deal.

Ok I'll try to give some good feedback.
Overall, very nice, sharp detail (a little soft here and there). I'd be tempted to make areas such as the facial hair a bit deeper with your cuts if you can.
the proportions look good, I'd be tempted to make the axe heads out of something like white milliput or apoxy sculpt as you can file it when hard and get some really sharp edges on it.
I'd also possibly look at the fingers on future pieces a little more, these ones look like they're a little light on the bony prominences.
Overall a very good effort.
