A very long time ago when I was a child we occasionally used a modelling material which was somewhat like plaster of paris but which had a slightly sandy texture, set harder and stronger, and was more cohesive so could be moulded over quite an open armature.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? If so, what was it?

No, definitely not. I remember it having a small as if it was some kind of resin, but that may have been the paint we used.

The original pollyfilla powder in a cardboard box, before all of this 'smooth surface finish' stuff came out was like that . Mix it in a saucer to the required 'gloop' consistency....
I use Polyfilla as concrete.
