Time for a more wholesome thread.

A long time ago, when I was a little kid, I apparently made my dad a play-doh alligator sculpture. He kept it all these years (he's in his 70s now) and I found out he recently lost it and was very upset. Thinking about it made me go "gently caress it, let's try to make him another one." So today I bought some Super Sculpey and tools and sat down to gently caress with clay for the first time in over a decade...

Started to add detail and some of that armored scale stuff on the back before calling it a night:



My nails are destroyed and it's nowhere near done, but if the end result makes my dad smile it was worth it.

Anyone sculpt before or make things for family? Any Super Sculpey tips? This isn't just for me, feel free to share your own stuff!
