Is the clay oven-baked, or air-drying?

It's oven-baked (Fimo) - so 20 minutes to dry a section

I thought so, its the same clay that my brother uses to make miniatures.

Which type of FIMO does he use?

"Fimo Soft - the best type", apparently!

I also use that, but it is more like 30mins to be completely dry.

I think he normally has the oven on for 20 minutes and (inevitably) then just leaves the stuff in for a bit longer. Always a hazard when you want to actually cook something in the oven!

Cheers! He's spending the Easter holidays on producing his next one ...
