Mini Sculpting Super Show 014 - FIMO Professional Review 

This was a really helpful review! Thanks for posting it.

Thank you very much for the review. I would like to see more comparison videos for things

Great, that pretty much settles it then about which polymer is best for sculpting minis

Back again to check on your opinions on Fimo :D

Just found your channel. Subscribed. Now to catch up on your vids. ;)

Thanks for the review. Glad to know this at least falls into the acceptable range in comparison to the older version. I'm curious though; I noticed in some of your older videos you used the white/soft clay shapers on the Fimo vs. the black/extra firm ones that are in this video. Was that on purpose or does it even matter?

I found that the flesh tone is less bouncy than the green, but I might be wrong. temperature plays a part after all. I went to super sculpy for a while after using it on some large sculptures, but I think that fimo is probably more versatile and all round better for miniature work. and now that I've started using sculpy techniques with it I think I've struck upon my favourite method of working. I use enamel thinner and paintbrushes to refine the surfaces of skin etc. really helps me to blend and smooth my work, as I tend to be quite a sharp 'painterly' sculptor. not like your style, with its nice clean look. I envy the clarity of your style. almost looks like a digital sculpt, not to disparage traditional sculpture of course.

Hi there Tom! Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge with us! I've managed to find a polymer clay here in Brazil and have been sculpting with it. It seems similar with Fimo professional. Anyway, I've been wondering if you could show us how you adapt your style when sculpting different things or themes. For exemple, when you were sculpting with Tre, you did so in a very different style than your normal minis. You could show us how to make dwarves and armor for exemple. Both a full plate armor and dwarvish armor have a more stout and solid look and style. Greetings from Brazil!!!

i might need to pick up mix quick. i bought some pro to compare with my supersculpey and it was a crumbly mess. neaded a small chunck with some vasoline and that helped but it still tended to crack

Hi Tom, I've picked up some of the Dolphin Grey Fimo Pro. It's a really nice neutral grey, a little lighter than your mix. After working with it for a few months, do you think there might ever be a need to add Mix Quick with the Fimo Pro, such as when rolling out sheets for clothing?

Hey dude, awesome video as usual! I was wondering what the next step was after having the skill and ability to create miniatures, so after you gain this skill, what do you do after? Do you contact big companies like Reaper to work for them or something? Thanks man.

what do you think about fimo air for sculpting/conversions?

Heeyy hows it going dude! Awesome videos man, I love sculpting too, I was wondering if you had to study anatomy to a great extent to become really proficient like yourself. I have a basic understanding of anatomy, like the insertions and origins of the muscles, but nothing really crazy, thanks =)

Can you show which tools you work with the Fumo?

I’ve tried fimo pro from both amazon and hobby lobby, both seem more crumbly and less shiny than what you use here. Have you experienced this since you made this vid? I’m new so not sure

Hi Tom. Question for you: I am planning to customize a metal Ral Partha mini. I sculpt using fimo soft. If I add fimo to the metal miniature, will the metal mini get damaged in the oven? I believe it's made of pewter.

Is FIMO soft suitable for this sort of sculpting? Before I get into trouble for raiding the GF's stash to mix up a batch.

hey Tom, good video. I wanted to ask you, Im new to sculpting (using Air drying stuff for now), whats the best tool to use to hold the working sculpture? I find that when im holding it and shaping it, any reasonable force applied on one side messes up the other. I see that wooden thing you use, whats that called, and does that require using wires for sculpting? (I dont use wires)

Would love to see a tutorial on reptilian/dragon skin. Keep up the good work!

how long you can work with this fimo, before it get´s hard?

why do we have have to put little little layers instead of putting sufficient material and then mould it? And does water work with fimo to make it sofT?

get over with the color and tell More about its qualities

yeah they are all a bit spongier than the classic but i actually prefer it. but that is likely due to the fact that i like super sculpy, which does generally have a rubbery aspect to it, at least in comparison to fimo classic.

hi Tom how hard does fimo set after its baked? is it strong enough to cast with?

Tom, my polymer clay minis always crack inside the oven. The time is right, the temperature is right... the clay is properly prepared... I dunno what am I doing wrong 😔 help me please

Can it be used to make silicone moulds?

Can it be used for bolt jointed dolls?

FIMO makes a Dolphin Grey - Amazon

This is maybe a dumb question but.... Has anyone tried to sculpt something on a plastic model an then bake that shit? :D cause having endless workingtime sounds pretty good. I work with grey stuff and its wonderful but gets firm pretty quick.
