Magic Sculpt Doll or Puppet Flesh Color Experiment
As you might or might not know, Magic Sculpt color "Flesh" is, unfortunately, not really doll-friendly "flesh". It is more like "Painfully Scalded Skin Flesh" or "Freshly Butchered Meat Flesh".
Recently, Magic Sculpt brought new color "Tan". Good try, but still not quite there.
So, here is my attempt to make "Doll Flesh" color.
Recipe:
1 part White, 1 part Flesh, 1 part Tan produces this decent-looking "Flesh" (in my hand on the photo below). Also, possible to play a little more with proportions to get just the right shade.
Welcome to Magic Sculp - the two-part epoxy putty specifically designed to meet the needs of modelers, crafters and sculptors alike. One of the few epoxies that will smooth out with water.
Its grain structure is finer than any other product available and will not shrink or crack even when formed in large structures. It can be shaped by hand or with modeling tools, sanded, carved, painted; you can attack it with a grinding tool and the cured material will not break apart or lose its shape.
Magic Sculp will cure at room temperature.
- Magic Sculp will adhere tenaciously to most any surface, and can be sanded and painted when hard.
- Easily mixed (Resin and Hardener slightly color coded: mix until one solid color).
- Good adhesion to almost all clean surfaces, including glass.
- Excellent malleability.
- Good sculpting media: as easy to work with as oil clay.
- Surface may be smoothed out with water.
- Water and soap clean up.
- Completely inert when cured.
- Accepts all types of paint.
- Surface may be sanded or ground when cured.
- No measurable shrinkage.
- Good for repairing anchoring bases and armature rods.
- Indefinite shelf life.
- Very forgiving on mixing ratio. Ratio may be varied to slow or speed up time.
- Repairs low pressure leaking pipes of plastic, cast iron, stainless steel, and copper.
Not only Magic Sculp is great for building armatures and bases because of its superiour strength but it has fine enough grain to actually sculpt from it - see the 2" tall Firefly sculpture on the picture below.
To use Magic Sculp, you simply mix equal parts of the resin and hardener, then knead together until a uniform color is obtained.
It can then be shaped, sculpted and smoothed with a wet finger or modeling tools.
It will harden in 1 1/2 to 3 hours.
Do not go into the jars with dirty hands - use separate tools! Even minute amount of the other ingredient will start the chemical reaction and will ruin all the entire jar of clay.
If you think you have sensitive skin, use gloves. If gloves are not an option, wash your hands promptly after you finish working with Magic Sculp with soap and water. Do not touch your face.
Magic sculpt is a 2 part epoxy putty, it comes in 2 containers. Once two ingredients are mixed (equal amounts), it hardens to rock-hard state. It takes about 1.5 hours for Magic Sculpt to start hardening (from the time of mixing) and it completely cures after 12 hours. It needs to be mixed well. To check whether it is properly mixed, here is a test that you can use.
Mix 2 parts, roll into a ball, flaten it into a pancake on flat surface. The two parts are of different color, but the mix should be one uniform color. If there is any kind of "marble effect", keep kneading. Here is the picture - the one on the top still needs mixing, the one on the bottom is good to go:
Also check out Magic Smooth - Magic Sculpt companion product - epoxy compound with a vaseline- or petroleum jelly-like consistency. A very useful product anytime you need a very strong glue at a spot where the working surface is small and the grip must be strong (consider repair of a broken porcelain figurine, for example). Petroleum jelly-like texture allows for it to get into smallest cracks as well as adhere tenaciously to almost any surface, including glass and metal. It is also great for filling small holes, anchoring nails, screws, rods, as well as miscellaneous household repairs of china, porcelain, dolls, etc. See the picture below - the goo on the toothpick is the Magic Smooth:
Magic Sculpt is very pliable in its mixed form, has excellent adhesion, cleans up easily with soap and water, and will cure to a hard, solid finish that can be painted, sanded or ground. Comes in two sizes.
These sessions provide valuable insights and tips for artists, whether they are beginners looking to refine their techniques or experienced sculptors looking to expand their knowledge. Magic Sculpt Clash serves as a platform for artists to showcase their talent, gain recognition, and even secure opportunities in the industry. Many participants have gone on to work on major projects in film, television, and gaming, thanks to the exposure and connections they made at the event. Overall, Magic Sculpt Clash is a must-attend event for anyone passionate about magic sculpting. With its exciting competitions, collaborative environment, and valuable learning opportunities, it offers a unique and enriching experience for both participants and spectators alike..
Reviews for "Transforming Ordinary Objects with Magic Sculpt Clays"
1. Jane Smith - 2/5 - I was really excited to try the Magic Sculpt Clay after hearing so many positive reviews. However, I was sorely disappointed with the results. The clay was difficult to work with and didn't hold its shape well. It also dried out too quickly, making it nearly impossible to make any detailed sculptures. Overall, I found the Magic Sculpt Clay to be a waste of money and time.
2. John Johnson - 1/5 - I have used various sculpting clays in the past, but the Magic Sculpt Clay was by far the worst I've tried. It was incredibly sticky and messy to work with, leaving a residue on my hands that was difficult to wash off. The clay also didn't harden properly despite following the instructions, making my project unusable. I would not recommend the Magic Sculpt Clay to anyone in search of a reliable sculpting medium.
3. Sarah Thompson - 2/5 - Although the Magic Sculpt Clay had great potential, it fell short in terms of quality. The clay was extremely difficult to mold and work with, making it challenging to create any intricate details. I also found that it didn't dry evenly, resulting in a lumpy and uneven finish. It's a shame because the concept behind the Magic Sculpt Clay is promising, but the execution leaves much to be desired.
