Thanks guys, yeah it's nice to experiment with different types of media and what I've learn has been great and very useful. For the figures it's a wax based clay, can't remember what brand it again but I'll find out for you.
We've started working on architectural models since last week, I'm a bit behind on the posting so here's the stage I'm at at the moment. Base is MDF clad with 1mm styrene, whilst the house itself is acrylic backsprayed so that it has a nice sheen on the windows.

Wow, this is some phenomenal work you've done there!
The old man's head is very, very characterful, very story-telling even.
Do you work with ProCreate by the way?
As for smoothing, I had expected someone who's name I do not need to post here (
) would mention some silicon clay-shaping tools. I personally work with an old dentist-polish-thingy, but the idea is the same, and it works like a charm!
I've been meaning to get those silicone clay tools, I'll try and buy a pack of ebay sometime. What's the old dentist polish thingy like?

I love the old man. The gondorian is looking good. It is interesting to see how others work. I would have done a face first then added the helm, yet you have chosen to do the opposite, as a stone/wood sculptor would. Working outside in, rather than inside out.
Thanks ukfreddybear, can't really say why I started that certain way - just the way I naturally work.
