Anyone know of any modelling putty which you can sculpt a decent amount of detail with (i.e. not pva glue, water effects stuff) yet dries clear?

I've never heard of any. An alternative might be to sculpt your model, and then cast it in clear resin.

No such animal.

There are clear resins, but no transparent putties.

Argh, thats no good to me. Ok, ty for help. Resin casting is too much hassle for what i want, which was just a simple flame effect.

best bet is to cast it in clear resin...

There's a sculpey which is supposedly translucent. I've never managed to get it to come out anything other than a kind of crappy semi-opaque yellow.
