Default help on sculpting putty and fields

Guys,
I am making a couple of teams so I can play people. One is my ND Irish team (3.2 standard figures) and the other is my Oilers team (either 3.6 or 4.0).

What sculpting putty do y'all use? I was looking at Chris Fields' Earl Campbell and was totally blown away. Been meaning to make some new figures for my Oilers team. What is the name of the brand and does anyone have a site where you can buy some for cheap?

I am also wanting to make a board for my Notre Dame and Oilers team, but I want to know what size most people play with. I want a long board, but the most important thing is I want as wide a field as possible (without it being too wide people will not play on it). What dimensions will work for most play and tournaments?

Thanks for any help in advance,
Mark Klingbeil

jeff,
Perhaps there is a different site, this one is about birds. My figures my be just for the birds (not Bill or one of these great players), but not literally...lol.

Thanks for the quick reply
Mark

Default Try this...

http://www.avesstudio.com/Products/A...ie_sculpt.html

I'm still learning to use it but I find it great to work with for sculpting.

Also, more guys are playing on 2' x 4' boards. Basically it's whatever you want to play on.

The Apoxie Rocks! Dries sooooo much faster than milliput. I used milliput for 10 years, but thanks to Chris, making figures is much more fun. Got tired of waiting for milliput to dry before I could start sculpting.

RAFIYQ, Where in the store did you find the Milliput? I have looked and not able to find it.
