Hunner weight? Whoa, don't tell me that means you bought a hundred pounds of the stuff!
I bought a hunner weight of the stuff for my 6" spartan legion
Youre welcome to some

It hardens harder than sculpey and with repeated firings nigh invincible to breaking

Sculpey, Fimo, Miliput, Avis
I have 3 kids - I put all my customs thru the kids test - the custom mostly always survive

its also stronger when fired
sometimes sculpey gets too warm and I find it kind awkward too use at that stage
Bendable sculpey doesn't snap when youre making weapons, insignia etc
I havent tried super sculpey yet
But Bendable or Bendy sculpey I really like - as its got more of a rubber like texture and actually bends with stuff - great for covering wire armatures for bendy models
Miliput sets like Rock and can then be drilled sanded and turned once set
I also use a fake metal stuff for mending pipes called "Mix Metal" - it sets almsot like black iron but be really careful with not getting it on your hands too long

Its like half the palm of your hand and just as thick.

Probably consitency or texture...
Edit: Sculpey is great, if it would air-dry then it would be perect.
Airdry is good too if it works for you
I also use an Airdry or self curing apoxy putty called Miliput - its like Fixit or Avis
But when theres a flexible part involved - bendy sculpey or Fimo is the stuff of choice for the job

Airdry clay tends to crack when it dries. Is sculpy as easy to mold?

Oven bake or boil is best methods
Oven bake if your making a weapon
Boil if youre making a head or other solid part
I prefer Fimo over sculpey - get better results
