Hello all,
my name is Den from, Dens Model Ships. I build ship models from scratch, this ship is a one-of-a-kind 17Th Century British Ship made out of chestnut wood. I also use this product on my ship models. Some of my techniques for building my model ships, would be using this modeling compound called (Sculpey 111) for some of my guild details. It is a modeling compound bought at the hobby shops. First I take the raw material, shape it by hand how I want it, fit it to the ship, carefully take it off, bake it, glue it on, and then paint it gold. To carve these pieces out of wood, I would not paint them because it would take away the wood work. But when I paint the guilded work gold I use the compound. All of the gold on the ships is Sculpey 111, I have 300 hours just in the gold work, here is a couple of photos, for more photos check out DENS MODEL SHIPS

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME,
Den
