Make a paper clay sculpt
Green highlight

Paper Clay is Paper Maché that is ground up very fine. Because It is cheap, light, and air-drying, it's great for costumes and large sculpts. Wet clay has a muddy feel that is bad for surface details, but it can be carved and sanded to a final finish once dry.
