How to Make a Model of a Muscle From Modeling Clay
- 1). Choose a muscle to focus on for your model. Check out a book at a library with pictures of muscles in order to make sure it is totally accurate.
- 2). Separate your clay into several strips. Roll them together with your hands to make "strands," or the sinnew-like mass that muscles are made of.
- 3). Place the rolls together in the shape of the muscle. Many muscles, such as those in the arms, legs, neck and back, are simply many long bands of muscle fiber together.
- 4). Smash your bands together so that they stick, but not enough to lose shape.
- 5). Place your modeling clay on a cookie sheet and into the oven until it becomes hard.
