Want to buy a material that's a football size, cheap, really pliable and doesn't harden as want to be able to reuse. Is there anything out there? A big tub of white plasticine?

I'd say there's no harm in asking, worst case scenario he'll say no. You could send him a PM through Boards and take it from there.

Sorry for the confusion, I,ll clear that up for you.:)

Johnny is my son, and he works in this field for the film and television industry.

Yes he is quite happy about giving advice, and one to one tuition in some cases.

He has also taught classes in this area for educational establishments between

film and TV work. And he doesn,t bite, unlike pops:eek::D

Send me a pm and your e mail, and I,ll get the details and questions sent on to him.

Meant to say, he is based in Wicklow if you are looking for one to one tuition,

and unlike the stars he works with , you wont have to sell a kidney for a lesson,

he lives in the real world like us all.;)
