Okay, let’s talk about this stuff called Newplast Plasticine. I’ve been messing around with it lately, and it’s pretty interesting, so I figured I’d share my experience.
First off, I got my hands on a few different colors of this Newplast stuff. It comes in these 500-gram bars, which is a decent amount to work with. I grabbed some basic colors to start – you know, your reds, blues, yellows. I saw they make some really bright colors and they look good.
So, what did I do with it? Well, I started simple. Just rolling it out, squishing it, getting a feel for the texture. This stuff is really soft and pliable, which is great. It doesn’t dry out, which is a big plus. I could leave it out and come back to it later, and it was still just as workable.
- Sculpting Attempts
- I tried making a few little figures. Nothing fancy, just some basic shapes. This is where Newplast really shines. It holds its shape really well, but it’s also easy to reshape if you mess up. I spent a good chunk of time just playing around, trying to make a little cartoon character. It actually turned out decent!
- Mixing Colors
- Then I got a little more adventurous and started mixing colors. It’s super easy to blend them together. I made some green by mixing blue and yellow, and it blended seamlessly. You can get some really interesting shades this way. It’s like being a kid again, messing around with paints, but way less messy.
- Testing Durability
- One thing I was curious about was how well it would hold up over time. I left a couple of my little creations out on my desk for a few days. They didn’t dry out or crack, which was good. They did collect a bit of dust, but that’s easily fixed.
- Stop Motion Animation
- I’ve heard people use this stuff for stop motion animation. It makes sense – it’s pliable, holds its shape, and comes in a bunch of colors. I haven’t tried that yet, but it’s definitely on my list.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m pretty impressed with Newplast Plasticine. It’s fun to work with, versatile, and doesn’t make a huge mess. If you’re looking for something to get creative with, I’d say give it a shot. It’s a great way to unwind and let your imagination run wild, plus I saw it’s safe for the kids too. I’m definitely going to keep playing around with it and see what else I can come up with. Who knows, maybe I’ll even try that stop motion animation after all!
