Hello and welcome to my blog...

 

This diary will let you see some of the projects i currently have on the table and i'll try and provide step by step pictures where possible

 

So...right into it! My first post is of something i did a couple of months ago when i picked up some green stuff from my local GW. This is the first time i used it and i gotta say im pleased myself with the results!
 

 
As you can see i opted for an old test subject back from the 40K box set many moons back. First thing i found when using the green stuff was that as a complete novice it was hard to make anything look good. For example i tried making some purity seals which just looked bad. With practice that will come but i recommend to anyone starting off using this stuff to go for a slimy, rot infested tentacle look as not only is it easy to make the shapes its also forgiving if it looks a bit messy.
 
Heres a few making of shots...
 

For a first go at green stuff im happy with the outcome although there are a couple of things id recommend to get you modelling quicker as i spent a while playing around with it.

• Make sure everything is wet, you hands, your knife, your model and your green stuff. This makes it a lot easier to handle as it can get a bit tacky.
• Once you've mixed up your green stuff let it harden for about 15 minutes as it will go from a blu-tac consistency to something alot better to work with and less frustrating to use.
• Like with painting layer things up, in my model i started with some fleshy looking parts then added the ulcer blobs and then the spine on the back all of which started as a round piece of green stuff or a sausage and then shaped on the model.

Well thats the end of my first post and is a taste of things to come, let me know your comments and any tips you have as im still an amateur at this myself.
