    Default Mouldable lightweight clay-like substance

    Can anyone recommend any alternatives to clay? Clay is way too heavy. Preferably should dry by air instead of firing or anything complex, and can be easily moulded or sanded into shape. Price should also be reasonable too, because I will be using a large amount.

    Thanks guys and gals

    Milliput is great, it comes as an epoxy, you mix the two parts and then mold it, its not for huge areas, but when it dries its like rock, you can sand, drill cut it etc. Its great stuff. i used it on my HAlf life 2 case mod.

    Maybe you could make a mold and then fill it with expanding foam or something.

    You could always do.... Papier-mâché!
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    Thanks for your replies, I think I'll use papier-mâché, because it's the cheapest while still being practical for my purposes. Plus I can get my hands on it quicker and get to work on my mod soon.
    +reps all around if I haven't done it already.
