Cool! What clay material did you use? Does that clay harden over time or you need to heat it?

Great idea of using clay
Other methods would be to use foil...

The clay harden but you will have to use a bit of white glue I personnaly used wallpaper glue but do not use to much otherwise your work will be too wet ( the clay have been press to be 1 to 2 mm thick and this is quite fragile to handel )so if it get too wet the shape ( form) you ve done will disform and all the work will be for nothing.

True but i found that foil is not that easy too use too give some special effect like the soldier on the right side , the coat is going up and you can also see underneeth the sleeves.
