hope thats helped you look forward to seeing your creation

ok thankyou

I dont have enough modeling clay to make his legs long enough or his body fat enough, so im going to make him standing up. What modeling clay do you sudgest me buying because im going to get new clay. The 'tesco' one i have at the moment cracks all of the time and its hard to even move a head while animating at the moment. Thanks for helping cinders .

What do you think?

you really need to go to a craft shop and get newplast plastercine, just a tip but when contys making models he bulks out the body of his models (to save plastercine) with either tightly scrunched up tin foil or anything that will do, hes got some hard foam block at the moment that hes cutting bits off to use and ive seen him even cover an old tennis ball on one of his very large models, it also helps to lighten the weight of the models

dont ask for newclay!!! thats clay thats wet and drys, you need newplast plastercine, in 500g blocks theres 24 different colours for you to choose from, but you will need stone for gromit

hey didnt see your picture, youve done great well done you!!!

I never said i wanted 'newclay'! I literally meant clay that is new . thanks for telling me the best make and the colour for gromit, i was thinking of getting newplast today but i wanted to see what you thought was best .

when conty makes his models, does he keep them or does he destroy them (sorry if that sounds harsh but ive destroyed all of my models (my bunny and blue wallace) because of the tiny amounts i have bought from tesco.)

Thanks for helping me cinders

oh by the way,im going to use the gromit for animation.

conty always keeps his models, mainly as its nice to look back on them and you can see yourself how you are improving with each model, but we always take lots of photos of them when they are first made as you know they dont keep very well and they soon get grubby

i got a glass cabinet from the charity shop to keep them on display, it does help to keep the dust off of them, but if you want to keep them really clean. conty wraps them in cling film oh and good luck with the animation

wow, thats nice . His models ive seen on this website are fantastic

have you had a look at his deviantart account? hes got quite a nice gallery there, have a quick look, you will have to click on veiw gallery http://conty0.deviantart.com/

got anymore pics from painting aardman exhibition cinders?

i will get conty to post some when he gets in

oh great fantastic , weeks i been looking for some lol,

im not sure if we should post pics of vincents work that we seen in the gallery or not, we were allowed to take pictures so im guessing its ok, but to be honest most of his work is in his gallery on deviant art but there are some good aardman ones

i was speeking to vincent on DA and i know he wouldnt mind seeing the pics of his work in the exhibition

so i think go can go ahead and post them too

i will just ask him myself first just to make sure

Thanks. When i looked for gromit in google, i couldnt find any of him on all fours. Thanks a lot Fanboi.

Cinders, where does Conty buy his newplast? I went to the art shop near where i live and there were only the basic colours, not colours like dark brown, gromits fur or anything else like that. I bought a pack of all the colours though (1 strip of each) because i dont know what i want to make next.

So, where does conty get his? if you know, please could you send that shops website?

Thanks a lot, chocachoc

hi chocachoc mum orders it from newclay products all the info is on my morph creation, heres the link http://www.wallaceandgromit.com/creations/view/402

Try http://www.specialistscrafts.co.uk and type in colour clay there are 24 colours to chose from

Thanks Conty . How much clay do you use per model? (eg growbag)

Thanks a lot conty

Here you go!

Hope this helps!

chocachoc i would guess a few blocks although im getting better at not using so much now, with filling them out with other lighter cheaper materials

ok, thanks conty

I have a couple of pictures for you

Dw, im fine now
