WATCH THIS FIRST! • Basic Tools You'll Wan... The key to green stuff is knowing when to sculpt what. Waiting until the epoxy is cured a bit instead of jumping right in can be the difference between a clean sculpt and a droopy mess.
This video is super helpful. I come from "traditional" scale modeling and I really struggle with milliput and greenstuff. Thanks for the great content!
Worth stating that epoxy is temperature sensative, So if you are working in a cold garage curing time will be longer and if you sit next to a space heater it will cure faster.
When you talked about dust and the camera zoomed in on your desk I was thinking "Wow, he really does have a lot of dirt on his desk". Then you moved your hand back and the I realised it's my screen that's dirty.
It is a super video. I learned a lot thank you. I'll begin to also sculpt tabards and gambesons so I was wondering how to work the greenstuff and then your channel came to me THANK YOU
Hey love the videos! One thing I was hoping you could answer is if for the mineral you could use any brand or if there is a specific one you recommend. Thanks!
I've bought the greenstuff with gap and I cut it to a 50-50 ratio, is it normal that it feels pretty hard when mixing the two ? Just the mixing, once it turns green it's pretty easy to work with.
So glad I found your vids! Thanks for sharing. A question re mineral oil, any advice on what type of mineral oil? Lots of food safe chopping board oil on ebay, is that suitable?
How do you measure 50/50 with the tubes for a singe job. I got some and tried it the first time yesterday and I put them side by side to cut evenly with a razor blade. But they are so big I made way too much. What is your process of getting thr proper amounts, while using the big tubes?
How long was stage 3 curing for? It seems to be the most useful for making armor for halo mega construx figures. Edit: this video seems like its gonna be the reason why mega construx customs will be easier.
I'll be releasing detailed PDFs to the patrons containing all the info in this video in a more digestible format for referencing. Give it some thought!
What about moulds? I have a fur pad mould. Can I place the green stuff on it and let it cure a bit before removing it or is it better to press into it while in stage 0/1 and then removing it so it cures by itself? Bonus question, can I take blue part/ yellow part and just clumb them all together separately? I have the same long strip as you have on this video.
I would oil the mold first, then place the gs in stage 1. let it cure to stage 5 before removal. As long as you keep them apart and clean, it doesn't matter
What a great video. Priceless information. Out of interest, would you wait the same period of time for sculpting cloth out of milliput greenstuff mix, as in 1.5 hours of curing?
Would dust in the air affect the green stuff ? I just recently got into sculpting and now I’m too scared to pull the stuff out because my house is especially dusty. Even after cleaning my desk the dust is still circulating in the air of my work area. Is this something I should be worried about ? Or is it something I can work around just as long as my actual desk and hands aren’t dirty ? Thank you !
I'd try and work on it in the least dusty room possible. Outside, even. That said, it shouldn't be that big of a deal as long as you keep it covered during extended periods.
