they desighn it on computer and then have the desighn cut into a mould.
then they push green stuff into the mould to produce the intricate desighn.
(that\'s the rough process any way)

Wow, I\'ve never hecked a site...
My aunt danged me to heck once when I was a young heathen.
(just teasing you about your typing... welcome to the forums.)
They are generally done on a piece of resin (nylon block) in a CNC (computer controlled milling machine).
If you\'ve got a spare $10k laying around, you could be doing them too.

Ok, in scibors simplified technique you use fimo, or sculpy, basically some sort of bakable clay (not air curing), then after you imprinted your pattern as he shows, you would bake it following the instructions on the packaging (of the sculpy/fimo). After this you would then lubricate your mold (the baked fimo) and press in some greenstuff. Wait for a while, probably 1-3 hours depending on your mix, and remove it being careful not to mangle it, and shape it as desired (scibor shows it resting on a cork to curve it), before letting it cure completely. Hope I\'ve helped clear things up for you.
P.S. Sculpy and Fimo can be bought from almost any craft or art store, maybe even some of the larger department stores as well. It\'s not terribly expensive either. I personally prefer Fimo, but that may just be me.

Pretty much anything that drys hard. I have seen this done using Green stuff, to make green stuff molds. I\'ve seem people use DAS clay as well.

Something I missed before is that scibor also seems to use some plasticard (or something similar) to make the shape he wants and presses that into the mold before the lines... Makes sense, it would make it a lot easier to cut it out of the green stuff after.
@Gilvan Blight: I\'ve seen DAS around, but I\'ve never tried it... Is it any good? I always thought it looked a little to rough and unfinished when I saw anything done with it (which was pretty much the box/package art...).

I\'ve only used it a handful of times, and yes it was a bit rough, but very easily sanded down.
The person I saw using it just used it for a simple celtic knot pattern that was fairly large. It may not be the best for small details. I just know the stuff is cheap and easy to find around here. Plus it air drys so no oven required.
I would guess it\'s probably not the best choice, but it should work.
