Fabrication and Crafting Options |
All these materials work well alone or combined together to get the best
result for replicas.
Craft foam, EVA foam and worbla work awesome to replicate armor or create things
like hosters. Fimo and foam clay work great to make replicas like artifacts and
small detail filled items. And air dry clay maybe sometimes brittle but a
very cost effective way to make artifacts. |
