The product is called Scullpy. It's a clay like substance that you can
shape and mold. Then you bake it in your kitchen oven and it comes out
hard. It can then be sanded, scribed, mutilated, and more sculpy can be
added and re-baked. When you finally get the shape you want, paint it.
Two
part epoxy is good too. Don't forget about household trash. Old
lipstick
containers, with old model parts glued on and painted look good too.
Just
remember neat, clean, and a halfway decent paint job and most anything
will
look good.
