Oddly ... it's Magic Sculpt Epoxy Clay. It takes some planning, and you have to work slowly at times. But the strength and durability make it worth it to me. No baking ... no noticeable shrinking. Once you get used to it time wise, you can set up blanks for weapons, etc. and let them cure to a "hard taffy" point and then detail.

Yeah it's great for casting too. I use it for casting in silicon molds and it turns out so good.
If only I could get it in Canada.
All I can find is gray--and I need white--and the place I used to order it from - Kit Kraft-is out of business.
