AMACO AMO41821 SC3 Sculptamold Modeling Compound, 3 lb.

This stuff is GREAT! I’m a beginner sculptor working with just 1 side sculpts at a time .The picture I put is how it looked before I sand! I will put a picture with the final smooth product . I use it to cast my sculptures . Yes I am not talking about terrain stuff, I mean actual sculptures where I need a smooth surface! I let it dry for a couple days, 4 days at least . And then I sand it, apply more sculptamold to fill any holes, then let it dry again and sand and apply gesso let that dry and re sand /Top with gesso. Yah it’s more work than just using other stuff to cast in, but It works beautifully !! I didn’t want something super heavy , so this sculptamold works great, it’s cheap, study and it’s naturally white so I can paint it easily.I tried dropping my sculpture a bunch to see if it would crack, (it didn’t and all!) but I think I’ll do a better test with a sculpture that I wouldn’t care if broke or not so that I can fully see how it would hold up.

Easy to work with and creates a great effect. It sets fairly quickly so I mix only 2 cups at a time; 2/1 product/water

I love the use and ease of this product. The texture, quality and durability is excellent for the project I used it for and it turned out excellent for a first time beginner like me. I most definitely will be buying it again. Oh, and another thing it doesn't have a smell at all.

Works get for my operation

This stuff is a wonderful. I can't imagine a diorama with out it. BEWARE Mix small batches- like, a cup of compound with half cup water. It sets- becomes impossible to work- in less than 5 minutes.

I am a novice at doing scenery for my model train layout and have struggled to find a product that can be used conveniently to mold into shapes that look like rocky terrain. I have played around with plaster of paris and Hydrocal, both of which work nicely for pouring into molds, but kind of ooze all over the place when trying to make rocky terrain. Sculptamold is fantastic stuff! It is much neater to mix with water than the other products and is very easy to apply to the layout with little mess - it stays where you put it and doesn't flow somewhere else. It takes more time than the other products to set up so it is more forgiving in that regard. The terrain that I have made looks much more realistic than I was able to achieve with the other products. It is fun to work with and I will be looking for other new ways to use it for my train layout.

Arrived as described. Went as smooth as one could hope for.

Easy to use and worked perfectly for my diorama project!!! Totally impressed!
