Well i have been thinking about buying the plasticine set but i dont know if its good so if you have it please can you tell me all about it.

Well, if you mean Newplast! I have it and I can tell you that it smells really special, but nice! I bought about 20 packs, and when I oppened the first one I was surprised! In the beginning it is hard and it`s not so easy to work with it but after a few seconds it starts to be soft.
Actually, I don`t know so much more but I`m satisfied!

i cant seem to find the exact colour for wallaces trousers or gromits ears

look online at the ravensburger kit that is approved by aardman and contains all the tools plastacene and step by step instructions it is amazingly good it is about £15.00

lol soz about the aboves hard reading

The set is good ive seen a lot of them they are really clever

I BOUGHT A WALLACE AND GROMIT KIT AND IT WAS REALLY COOL I AM NOW GOING TO LOOK AT SOME NEPLAST IS IT LIKE PLASTERCINE

newplast is the best plasticine around and its british too

i got the w&g set just for fun from toysrus in 2005

Newplast is the best as there are quite a few colours 2 choose from

I use newplast best ever i made this with it

modelmaker how do you create such brilliant models?

Thank you so much

i suppose your talent comes with your name model maker lol

thanks lol

how long would you say it would take to make a really good model like the ones you made?

Cool model Modelmaker93, just like Aardmans!
If you plan on making a set fully out of plasticine be aware of the following things:
*Plasticine is easily squashed and merged so be careful
*it will flop after a while so rienforce it with wood or some other hard material,
*use newplast if your in the UK or Van Aken (US), Belgrave (australia)

thats about it

Kind regards,

Arnymate

Thanks

The problem with plasticine sets, as Arnymate says, it can bend and flop over alot without rigid re-enforcement. When applied, it can get very heavy with the amount of clay against the set. Unless you have very thick corrugated cardboard that is screwed down to your set base the clay will force it to topple over. Wood is far better and will give you a MUCH easier life when you animating your puppet. When you are lighting up your set, the hot lights can damage the plasticine and cause it to go very soft and change shape.

A material like plaster over wood or wire mesh would work alot better, you can add better texture, paint it and it will hold up during shooting. You could also use papier mache with a final layer of plaster ( ultracal 30 works best) over it, for a light set material.

thanks james here is my other model i made yesterday

cool, that 1 is awesome, good work MM93 give urself a clap!!!
