Amaco Artists' Modeling Clay Review

I found a little box of this clay when I first started sculpting and liked it, but then couldn't find anymore, not even on Amaco's site using the UPC code. I guess it's back. The UPC code is; 3967246330.  This clay has a nice firm consistency, it's almost like using an oil based clay. Apparently isn't for firing, so more of a craft clay or what I use it for, models that I'm going to sculpt in stone. It says white on the package. The wet clay is dark brown. You can see in the picture it doesn't dry to white, but not real brown either. It is very brittle when dry, so if you want to display your project when done, paint it or spray with an acrylic to give it a little more strength and protection. This is the best stuff I've found for making models out of clay.
Not a lot of detail. I just need to see the form to transfer to stone, I'll add details when I get to that point on the stone.
