Ok thanks, I was also referring to whether I should use fondant or modelling chocolate?
Fondant will take time to set, and should be mixed with Tylo powder to add strength otherwise they'll just flop everywhere. If I make fondant wired shapes I roll them as thin as I can (just because I prefer the look of them that way) and will leave them for a a day or so to harden. Roll them thicker and you will have to leave them longer.
Modelling chocolate needs no setting time, but can be a pita to work with if you have warm hands. I'm sitting here typing with hands like ice blocks, but I can guarantee if I took out my mc I'd have hands like radiators. Every time. It is seriously the only time my hands will warm up; it's like they know 
The other thing to consider is heat. Fondant/tylo will hold up in a warm environment, mc may have issues. I made a large dragon out of mc last weekend, and his wings were fine in my kitchen, but once he'd sat in the party room with all those people for a couple of hours they started looking like he was a very tired dragon...
I live in the islands... humidity at a whole other level! Gumpaste is the only thing that sets up for me here. I've heard of mixing gumpaste and modeling chocolate before -- haven't tried it myself. Maybe if you had time, you could try that out?
I'm hesitant to say "you're welcome" without knowing the outcome haha! I do hope it works out! :)
