Here is a web site that is associated with a store here in the states called Hobby Lobby.

I know that it has some of what's on your list.  But I don't know about how much the shipping is.

Sculpey is a clay that does not set up until you heat it up in the oven.  If you get some go with the Super Sculpey.  It is much better IMHO.

You can get all the things you are looking for at artist supply stores  like Pearl Paint or Utrecht art. I would seriously suggest that you look at artists supply shops in Sydney, Melbourne and  Adelaide before shipping from the US which will cost you a lot for things that you can find on that side of the Pacific. I would also suggest that you get in touch with your local IPMS group. I used to belong to the Melbourne one, and they are a fantastic group of blokes who can help you find local alternatives for just about everything, so try the Adelaide IPMS or model group and attend some of their meetings. The money you spend on joining the group and on petrol driving to the meeting will be more than made up by the money you save on shipping commonly available materials from the US. I remember buying some of these things in Sydney and Canberra in the 1970s... so they are around.
