R Mack from ManyMack Creationz is one of the best sculptors out there.

I'm sure you've seen his finished customs floating around the internet:


What you may not have seen are some of his WIP photos showcasing his sculpting:


I find his sculpting so good, so thin, and so smooth, I figured he must have access to some secret sculpting compound that I just don't have access to. I reached out to him on Facebook to see if he'd share his secret:


Hey Jm, it's Aves apoxie sculpt, you can find it on amazon.




Rub small portions of clay and mix it with baby oil gel.



Nope, simply clean the figure with soap and water and you're good to go.


Plastic-Curves.com is who I work with. As far as torso/body parts - none yet.


Oh yeah, that's not a problem!

Great artist, great tip! You have to see it to believe it, and that still might not do it ... he's one extremely talented guy, from sculpting all the way through finish. And his photos are astounding.

I love it when really talented artists are willing to share their methods like this. Very interesting technique, thanks for highlighting it!

Interesting. I might give this a shot this weekend and see how it goes.

look at all the grown men running out to buy baby oil gel. Just don't all go to the same store at once.

You are assuming we don't already have some.
