Just found this stuff in another modeling forum - from Japan, called "Oyumaru", and it is basically a stuff that can be warmed, formed and re-used for casting parts - at least, that's a secondary use for modelers, because I think it is originally just a plastic clay you can use to make superballs or cake decorations:

Has anyone experience with it?  :unsure:

Hmmm, that could come under the heading of 'Really Useful Stuff'.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

For larger pieces or something with some strength in it - if you're trying to clone seats or tailplanes I don't think it would work too well.  Still, could be worth trying.
