Making "anime-style" figures at home?

Question: Making "anime-style" figures at home!?

I know most of these figures are built with plastic, is there a way to work with plastic at home!? If not, what other material can I use to get this look!? How do I make them and where can I buy the supplies!?

I would first practice with some type of clay, such as Sculpey clay!.

Here are some images that are made out of Sculpey:

Most of that seems to be 3-D cartoon of a Japanese style!. But, you might be able to make similar looking models!. Go to Joann Fabric Store or a hobby store!. They have colored polymer clay type materials that you can mold!. I think you can bake them afterward so they become hard!. They even have flesh tones so I really think you could pull this off with some creativityWww@QuestionHome@Com

try getting the shape you want with clay, then carve it on to wood!. or soap!. those are very pretty! <3Www@QuestionHome@Com
