I'm not sure if I've posted this already but here is one of our demos on YouTube

This barbarian we're tentatively calling Two Axe. he's made from Almaloy Wire, aluminum to us in Texas, and I'm using Floral Wire to bind him and hitting that all with Super Glue.
A little Aluminum Foil bulks up the piece so the Super Sculpey and Fimo mixture we use does not get too thick and cause stress on the piece, which could lead to cracking down the road.
We build the armature and nail down the pose as we go, then lay on strips of sculpey over and over each other. One muscle might have 10- 20 'layers' after we're through, as the muscles build up.
I hope this helps some of the newbies getting started. Bind your armatures tight, and just enjoy the process, sometimes it can seem like one mistake after another but thats really just learning. peace
