I've never worked with clay or tried my hand at sculpting. I bought a pack of this stuff at Hobby Lobby, any tips, suggestions or warnings about using this? Just planing of using it to flush out a base I plan on working on.
Thanks in advance,

Sorry. Have never used it. I prefer to use Apoxie Sculpt for that sort of thing.
Don't panic. OK, you can panic a little.

Re: Nara Air Hardening Clay
I don't know anything about Nara, but I've watched a few videos on You Tube about DAS (which is another air hardened clay) and it seems to me there are better alternatives (like Aves, or Sculpt-A-Mold) for terrain work. As I remember, DAS shrank, curled, and cracked when applied in thicker layers. Nara may be a better product...I don't know?

Re: Nara Air Hardening Clay
I used a Crayola brand air-hardening clay for scenery once, and It continued to shrink and crack for years.
However, I also used a (very dense) air-hardening clay, sold as part of a child's "make your own pots" craft kit, for scenery, and have had no problems.
