3. Hobby knife (cutter)
4. Pin vice
5. Clay shaper brush

- For starting with a strong internal structure I opened a paper clip and bended it to the desired shape. (pic2a)

- Mixed a bit of green stuff and apply it directly on to the wire, with no precautions concerning smooth or clean green stuff surface, since it is just a skeleton sketch of the final crab leg. (pic2b)
