This is the first soft plastic i designed out of clay then molded it out of plaster. I didn't do that great of a job of trimming it as I was excited about getting out into the pool to see how it works. It worked really good I poured it with hard plastic so I think I am gonna downgrade to medium plastic so it will swim even better. Enough talk here it is. (Don't be too hard on me)

thanks man this is pretty fun to do especially when your using baked clay it takes alot of the frustration away. I know when I used air dry it was just way to thick and it cracked so easy. looking forward to seeing what you got! | |

I make plaster of paris molds and i just leafe the clay soft and dont bake it so its easier to get out and it doesn't chip up my mold, im making new molds alot now because i found a good way to do it. Many new creations to test. | |

Make sure to post a picture when you get the craw done so we all can see it. And if you can take a video of your worm in the water when you use softer plastic that would be cool. I would like to see that tail in action. | |
