Modroc
Plaster impregnated bandages, the same kind doctors use to mend broken bones. A roll of modroc just needs a bowl of water and a pair of scissors to make effective use of this powerful modelling material. Modroc dries in less time than paper mache and is stronger once it has dried. Avoid rewetting it as this will reactivate the plaster and cause it to become soft and malleable again. Paint dried modroc with acrylic paint or poster paint.
