Hi Rasmus !
i first did a base with styrofoam.Than a glue to the wood base with polyurethane.If it was all clay, it would become much much heavy
The clay is a oily clay. Like 7 dolars a kilo ( 14 brazilian money).
We call here "plastilina" , in google translate it is plasticine ( but i don't know if that is right).
I will try to find some pictures.
I hope that helps. :)

i think plasticine is right. atleast i have heard about it before. hehehe

looking forward to see your next update.
