How to sculpt a miniature treasure chest

http://www.stormthecastle.com
This is a tutorial showing you how to sculpt a miniature treasure chest. I make three different chests to show you the different techniques. I use a two part modelling putty that air dries so needs no baking.
A treasure chest is a great way to learn how to start sculpting minis because it is relatively easy and you can get it done before the putty dries. I made these treasure chests to go inside my Fantasy Wall Diorama and I will be using them to show you how to cast miniatures and make duplicates in an upcoming tutorial.

@Xythe43 Yes, definitely

Why using green stuff? I got plain clay would it work?

[epicfantasy]

@ecko911 Plain clay would work great but it won't harden. You won't be able to use it to make castings.

Is the Games Workshop brand really your best bet because sometimes they seem overpriced? Superb job by the way

[epicfantasy]

You can definitely shop around and get the green stuff kneadatite for less. Amazon has a few different options. It will keep your cost of sculpting miniatures down. Reaper miniatures sells it cheap. cheap.

Concerning your clay, why not use Super Sculpey Polymer Clay? You can bake it to harden it.
