And noses and eyes

thanks

i am sorry but cavor but what do you mean by plaster and hard wood core?

Use Newplast plasticine or Van Aken clay. Also, I made my wallace by looking at loads of pictures of him and watching the movies. Always make the head first so you get the proportion of the rest of the character right.

I use the same technique joshy!

what is he supported by

does your wallace contain an armature

I've made a character named Frank and he looks somewhat like Wallace. He dosen't have an armature so he can't stand up unless supported. To make Wallace I'd make an oval and stretch out the bottom for his mouth and add the nose, eyes...etc. You can make his body with an oval too. And his legs can be tube like shapes like his arms. My character Frank has gloves cause I'm no good at hands but I'm sure there's someway you can make hands.

Hope this helps!

Wow thats a fantastic wallace!

Heyya guysss I hope someone will be able to help me here. Im hoping to make a model of shaun the sheep using newplast plasticine for a project im working on. However im only going to be making the head of shaun and his arms (which im gonna place on a flat surface) Would it be possible if someone could tell if I should use some sort of chicken wire to be able to shape his arms in a curved position to hold it in place, making it look like he's got his hands on his ears, or should i just be brave and try making it without wire and hope for the best (i know it sounds confusing but just need some advice)... Ta peeps!!

i reckon u should probably use wire as i didn't and mid filming the model has fallen apart before and it is a disaster! even if u r not filming i would recomend some armature wire or something similar

p.s. i am planning an animation but im gonna wait until i can get some wire to make it better

get newplast its really good

where do you getit hazzahoo???????????

General craft stores (Hobby Lobby, Micheals, etc.,) usually supplie Newplast. However, if Newplast isn't avaliable where you live, (like me!) then get Van Aken Claytoon. It's practically the same thing.

cool thanks

newplast is definately the best. I made these with it 

sorry the picture hasnt loaded
