Clay must be a very hard medium to work with, but so far your pieces look great! Can't wait to see more!

It is extremely hard Chibi !
My hands ache because Fimo-clay is quite solid ...
it gets a little bit softer when it gets warm while kneading but it always remains hardy.
One can form nice stuff with Fimo but it is exhausting.
First I planned to make chest,neck and head all in one piece ...
but this was impossible to do.
I always deformed one part during constructing anaother and damaged the surface of the clay with my fingernails.
I will go on with this project on Friday.

It's on like Donkey Kong.
You are quite the ambitious one there, Tom. Can't wait to see it finished.

@ Tennyo :
I think without some ambition I would not be able to go through this project.
I have to admit that I had weak moments when I thought :
Oh my god ... is it possible for me ? etc. :-))))))
Everytime you doubt about yourself you have to kick your own arse.
I always try to remember this ... I guess I ve carried home a couple of bruises the bygone days.

Today I formed the part which represents chest and neck of the Cyber-horse On-X !
I did not harden this part because it has to be adjusted to the round piece of wood I ll use for the rear,belly and back of the model.
Perhaps tommorow I ll be able to connect the various parts.

Today I wondered how big the horse will be.
Therefore I measured all parts.
On-X will be 9 inch tall and 6 inch long.
A little bit smaller compared to a Starlite doll.
But somehow I think it s almost the correct size.
I noticed that On-X is also lower in the movie.
