I didn't think of sanding and filing, I guess cause I'd read that GS doesn't file well, but it makes sense-- especially because you can't really smooth down tiny details with your finger tips.<br /><br />Thanks again!iemattiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381883306896753352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908489055542103460.post-49820096406469193292012-09-10T02:43:08.616-07:002012-09-10T02:43:08.616-07:00Thanks Sqrl :) Team is almost done now.
Mattias: ...Thanks Sqrl :) Team is almost done now.<br /><br />Mattias: It can be annoying to get it smooth and without fingerprints. One thing about green stuff- when just mixed it is at it's most sticky, don't expect to do much with it in the first minute after mixing. Give it a bit of time, it heats itself,it'll be more malleable and less sticky if give it a bit of time (not too much obviously). build it up in layers- dont try to do too much all in one go. adding a thin layer on what you've already done that is cured already, and smooth it out- keep your fingers moist- water, saliva, mineral oil, even olive oil I've heard people use. I prefer a bit of water, saliva or human skin oil, as odd as it sounds, works great, just looking to have fingers a bit moist so that they don't stick and leave prints. just smooth over an area with your finger many times, 'burnishing' it. after it's cured you can sand and file any remaining rough spots & prints. when priming, just dust with primer first and check it- that will reveal anything you didn't see yet, then sand/file again. then finish priming.

I'...That looks fantastic! Great sculpting work!<br /><br />I've been trying to do some sculpting and converting myself for my orc team, but I have trouble forming the putty into a smooth surface.

So it's fun when I get such opportunities. <br /><br />Underworld is a fun team Paul, I'm sure your lad will enjoy pulping them ;) <br /><br />Michael: yes, the Underworld will have plenty of glowing warpstone- they wouldn't get very far without their juice :)<br /><br />Thanks Fran, I was particularly pleased with the suckers :) <br /><br />- Made a lot of progress painting this guy (and the rest of the team) today, won't be long before they're finished.
