Arghh Batman's nose and bloody ears!

I have a huge problem getting Batman's pionty nose right every time is they're an easier way to do it and get better and sharper results than sqeezing it with you fingers! I want to do statues in the B&W scale.

Tips to get his point ears right are appreciated aswell.

Are you using any tools besides your fingers? The right tools are helpful. Also- You can sand them into the correct shape after baking. If they're not right, just add more material and keep refining it.

Sanding is very hard because it's so small. I have some tools but what tool do you recommend to use on this?

And if I add tiny portions of SSIII I find that they have a hard time adhering to the baked sculpy.

Tools- You pretty much need to create your own tools that work for you. I hammer my own tools out of spring steel. They are sort of spatula shaped.

You might want to try Magic Sculpt epoxy to make the ears. Either that, or use a pin-vice with a micro drill bit, to drill tiny holes for a small armature wire. Then use ProPoxy to rough out the ears, then cover with SSIII.

Hope this helps-
