Thank you, Goreti!  I am as slow as Christmas and modeling chocolate allows a much longer working time than fondant.  It also allows for more precise detail, if that makes sense.  I also have a lot more success getting it smooth.  It is a bit tricky to get used to because it is a lot different than fondant or gum paste.  It gets nasty greasy if you work it too much, but you just have to let it cool off for a bit.  I am beginning to really like it.  Shawna McGreevy has a wonderful picture tutorial on her site for making modeling chocolate.  Even though it only has two ingredients, chocolate or candy melts and light corn syrup, it is easy to screw up so I review it each time I make a batch.

This is really amazing. Modeling chocolate is something I have never worked with.

Blimey!  Do you think you could model me a new pair?  Mine are crap.

Thanks so much, Katy!  I think legs are going to be my thing....(coming in September)

I thought the same about her legs Sandra - they are absolutely perfect!

Wendy, I will post a few progress pictures in the forum under Don't Be A Paleface Progress.  

Thank you so much for your sweet words.  I haven't mastered it, but I am making progress :o)

this is so cool! Looks so real! Would love to know more about how you do this! BTW--your "learning" how to use modeling chocolate?? I think you have mastered it! :)

Thank you so much, sweet Betty!  I am trying to learn to use modeling chocolate.  Her legs were the last thing I did on the girl and I definitely think they are the best part.  I'm starting to gt a fee for how it reacts.
