The fimo professional would be my first choice. Warm it up before you use it by placing it on a radiator for about 15 minutes as it is easier to condition then. You need to mould it in your hands for a good 10 minutes or another way is to roll it out with a rolling pin, then keep folding over on itself and roll it again, keep doing this till the clay is soft and pliable and then you can work it. Bake in an oven at 110c for 30-40 minutes. Job done.

Milliput white is what i use for restoring damaged Border Fine Arts models..... stays white is VERY tough/fine almost ivory feel to it and doesn't need baking...... its two part resin putty and you just knead equal parts together and press into whatever your making /restoring etc and leave to set usually overnight is perfect and is lovely to work with. They do it in Grey/Black and Terracotta colours but will paint etc. Forgot to mention when you mix it it gets softer as it warms and thin sections are easy to use like plasticine.

Thanks that for that Brian I've ordered the one Geoff suggested but I'll certainly keep a note of the Milliput. If what I'm planning works, not having to use the oven may be an advantage as the wood isn't very thick.
