Default Clay for models and mock ups

Just wondering what kind of clay is best to use for models and mock ups?

Where can you get it also?

Thanks in advance!

Hi JustDooky, You can use modeling clay, which doesn't dry out. It can be found at Wal Mart in the school section usually around the crayons. I used to use Play doh when the kids were young. I am sure even the polymer clay would work. And you could bake it to have a permanent mock up.

Hi Glen,
I get mine from art supply store. Get oil based clay such as plastilina or kleenclay. You can use it over and over again.
