!amicable posted:GS is awful. Are you dead set on using it? There are a lot of other polymer clays that are less like chewing gum. I havent really tried other epoxy based putties, but they all seem to have their various weaknesses, holding less detail, drying weirdly, poo poo like that. Im a long ways off from ever having time to really learn how to sculpt properly, but Id like to at least get better at using GS for various conversions

Maybe I'm being dumb, but wouldn't something thick like gesso be prone to jamming a spray can. Less so than rough coat, but still.

What are you recommending? It depends. I like sculpey for blocking in larger things. For details magic sculpt is very good. It's water thinnable which is the greatest advantage over gs. It also dries much harder. I won't lie and say that I don't use GS, but it's very difficult to work with. Lots of professional sculptors have claimed the same. There are a lot of up sides, but it's very very circumstantial. A lot of sculpting techniques that work with GS don't carry over to other materials and vice versa. GS is good for cloth and "foldy" bits, because it's pliable. it's far less useful for anything geometric. It is really like sculpting with chewing guml; it's neat for some things though because of this fact. I can post some more concrete examples later on as well as linking articles and opinions of sculptors far better than myself. For your average gap filling joe, GS is decent enough. If you want to seriously construct something from the ground up, GS is an awful main material.

Thank you! This is much more helpful. GS is where a lot of us start working because, well, its what GW sells and what they tend to talk about in any modeling/conversion articles. Turning up at a real art store or going online leads to a dizzying amount of options, and its not very feasible (both in time and money) to buy and test them all. If someone is knowledgeable enough to do a big write up of the different materials and their strengths/weaknesses, it would be a pretty awesome contribution to the thread. Also hubba bubba is poo poo for sculpting, taffy all the way.

I've probably had it about 9 months or so. Not sure if it matters, but I've kept each of the colors wrapped up in their foil wrappers inside the original plastic blister, so I imagine that would help prevent some of the spoiling.

The new head throws a vertical line of paint instead of a circle. It's weird at first but is pretty awesome. The ultra-flat seems to take paint a little better, but that could just be my take on it.

Seal the cork or paint it first, then hit it with the glue, just to be sure. If you are not thinning the glue I don't see why this wouldn't work. For static grass I just lay some glue down, smear it around and drop some herb on that mother fucker. (Actually I sort of dab it on.)

Almost done with the greenstuff work on my farseer body, needs to be filed/sanded smooth and the ridges on the sash made a bit deeper once its cured enough to hold without mushing it up  then just some greenstuffing of hands/weapons/plan B and it will be readyto prime. I lubricated most of the lower body work with vaseline which has long since driedout but how should i clean residue before priming? i was just gonna try a cotton bud with a bit of soapy water Yog-Sothoth fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Apr 4, 2010 |

So, when I did a break-down of various two-part epoxies... Did none of you pay attention?  Here's a recap, since we are back with the topic. Green Stuff (Games Workshop, Gale Force Nine, etc.) Pros: Simple to use, effective for nearly every application. Cons: Off-balanced ratios can lead to defective curing, relatively short working time. Mighty Putty (Billy Mays sold this) Pros: Dirt. loving. Cheap. Great for making the "frame" of a large sculpt. Cons: Extremely short work time, will go bad within months, used or not. Brown Stuff (Various) Pros: Similar to green stuff in most ways, but holds sharp edges very well. Takes better to sanding, tapping, drilling and filing than green stuff. Cons: Same as green stuff, semi-expensive. ProCreate (Made by Kraftmark) Pros: Gray color means it's easy to see detail. Depending on mix ratio, you can get green stuff, brown stuff, and a half-way effect. Relatively long working time. Cons: Be delicate when working with this stuff. Can be a little frustrating to work with thanks to an unusually fine "grain." Hope this helps. PV, you got the right stuff (baby). Since picking it up, I've never looked back at green stuff to do anything other than tutorials. Sole.Sushi fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Apr 4, 2010 |
