I've dabbled in figure sculpting before using Kneadatite (more famous as "Greenstuff") and ProCreate. I found both extremely difficult to use. I tried and liked regular Milliput, especially the fact that it smooths with water; the only problem is the graininess of the cured product. Milliput Superfine is advertised as having the same water-smoothing properties with none of the graininess, at an increased price of course. It's worth the extra money.
For machine-like parts I love this stuff. Just smash the proper amount of putty on a prepared shape (laminated plastic strips work well), smooth with water, then make panel lines. Easy.
I kept this first design simple and rough on the edges since I was just experimenting with putty properties. Now that I've got a handle on it, I'll try a few more complex designs and clean them up properly. You can see where I sculpted the front half, stopped, then started again later with better tools and different techniques. I prefer the look of the back half of the ship.
