Description Here's my first attempt at sculpting anything, he's about 4cm and made from Citadel 'Green Stuff' (gives your hands mega-cramps)

Ah good old green stuff!


How did you find using it? For a first time attempt, you did a really good job.

I love it. It doesn't stick and flake away, and its real smooth to work with. On the downside the stuff i have is really tough so my hand cramps up after i've mixed it :SĀ 

I'm not going to attempt fine detail like yours yet... for now i just roll things around haha. What tools do you use?

Pro-create might be a nice other option, it's grey rather than green, less sticky and not as hard to knead, it also holds finer detail more easily.


As for sculpting tools, here's the ones I use for 99% of the work I do. img.photobucket.com/albums/v69ā€¦

I have had good experiences with wooden ones too though, I sand and shape the ends of old paintbrushes, the texture of the wood (when varnished) works nicely with green stuff.

Oooh, shiney. I've got a handful of wooden sculpting tools, but they are not suitable for miniature models :\ Ā I'll look the stuff up and see how i go with it. Thanks for the tip!

Not a problem, I'll post some photos of my wooden ones I made, when I get round to it.
