Matei Apostolescu’s profusion of polymer toys and models make him look like Romania’s modern day Santa Claus. His fleet of race cars, jets, submarines and weapons delight the kid in all of us.
He uses simple clay shapes to build complex machines which he textures and paints. Keep clicking on his 152 toys to see the [...]

Clay sculpting and [...]
