Tamiya Resin Clay Review

First review for this blog :D 
Today, i will be introducing Tamiya Resin Clay from the brand Tamiya. Tamiya created a series called "Tamiya Decoration Series"  that started around June 2011 and it's basically a series with products for making fake sweets (deco sauces, clay, whip cream clay...etc). Anyways, here's the review for the resin clay from the decoration series :) 

Here is how the package looks like, it is smaller than i expected and even though it says "Tamiya Polymer Clay" - it is in fact air dry resin clay.

 A package of clay comes with 2 "sausage" looking tubes of resin clay xD This is good because you'll only need to open one tube while the other one stays moist and it won't dry up as fast. 

 I have already used half of one tube of resin clay and here you can see that the texture is smooth (just like any other resin clay) and it is a little translucent. They can be mixed with oil paints, acrylic paints, or chalk pastels. (i use acrylic paints)

 After drying, they turn out even more translucent (the thinner the clay is, the more translucent it will be). Here are just some kiwi slices that i made (not painted yet) just to show you guys how translucent it is.

 you can see that light does pass through it if it is thin enough (this piece is about 1mm thick)

Tamiya Resin Clay, like any other resin clay, is most suitable for making fruit pieces :D Some things that i made with this clay are strawberries, kiwi slices, pineapple slices, leaves, and also some ribbons (perfect if you want pretty pastel-colured ribbons) 

 If you guys have any questions or would like me to do a review on certain sweets deco products - please feel free to leave a comment below :D
