Fimo - Blog Posts
Alright, a bit of context for why two polymer clay ships are here with so many tags: The brown ship was made for talk like a pirate day, the ghost ship was made while I was home alone and listening to the PotC soundtrack and it just turned into the Flying Dutchman with demon horns and the Black Pearl's sails, because that looked best. I used fimo modelling clay, kebab skewers, used teabags and contact adhesive. Watercolours on the ghost ship sails to make them black. I seriously recommend the stardust fimo colour, I used it for every colour on the ghost ship except windows and the hatch to lower decks. The trick with the masts is to make the holes before baking and then bake them separately; before it can cool, you put them back in and let the clay shrink around the sticks. No glue needed. Sails are done after baking, this is where contact adhesive is needed. I recommend making a template for both the side and above profiles.
