to be honest, buy some cheap modelling clay, and play around with it. The thing about this kind of stuff is you just need to try it yourself, of course some stuff is better than others, but that is definately something you should determine on your own. Some people are brilliant with clay, others pretty sucky, and others good through trial and error, and seeing it through.
and also, people are always going on about other people being too lazy to search, and to be honest, whats the difference? i mean either way, it requires someone else typing on the keyboard to tell them the 'answer', because they don't know. so if they don't know, just tell them. easy as that. forums are the best place for these kind of questions (i.e. general opinions), so why not a forum this person likes? if you don't like it, just ignore it. It's the mature thing to do i suppose. Or are you too lazy to hit the back button?
