Sculpting
« on: Mon, 16 May 2016, 23:16:59 »
So I am out on work this week and had nothing to do this evening so I broke down and stopped by the crafts store to give a go at sculpting what some day maybe my own keycaps.

Check out day 1:





All the tools I had were a pen and a thing for removing blackheads I found at Marshalls. I used Sculpey III and Premo! Sculpey the pictures are of the Premo! because the III was too soft for me and kept messing up my work.

Cool snail/hermit crab stuff going on there!  Be sure you test your finished sculpture on your keyboard to ensure clearance with other nearby keys.

FYI, the plasticizer in Sculpy will melt ABS.
