You could try one of the other polymer clays such as Premo, Fimo, Kato
Polyclay, Promat.

Refer to this site for information on the relative strengths of the clays:

Thanks for the reply. That is along the lines of what I was thinking of
doing only maybe protruding a bit more. Are you aware of any other
oven-bake clays that are suitable? I have done a few searches and many
seem
to recommend Sculpey in this category, that's what first set me to using
it.
I thought of maybe an air-dry clay but I just will not be able to complete
the work in one sitting, or day for that matter.
Thanks again.
