the blue section is the hardener and the yellow is the base (i think) so having more blue makes it set quicker.

Ah thank you guys!

Now I think I actually have the courage to buy green stuff and play around with it :D
I was just scared to buy green stuff and then waste it because I dont know how to handle it.
Is it a good idea to buy green stuff at Gw? I mean since GW is so expensive with everything.
Is there maybe a german out there that buys it somewhere else? 8)

Yes, there is.
You may give milliput a try. There´s an auktion on ebay now. It is similar to greenstuff but less expensive. I got one pack (more than 100g!) a long time ago and just used half of it. I use it on nearly every miniature. It works great.
Maybe you can ask the seller for the standard variant. That is the one I use. It costs only half the price and for me it works well, even for sculpting hair and really small parts.

Reading my sig was by about three seconds of total waste of time.

The GW stuff is okay, but not that fresh, and it does have a noticeable impact on how nice it is to use. Green stuff and milliput are very different, and it is worth experimenting with both.

I think Heresy will ship to Germany, and they take great care to make sure the green stuff is nice and fresh. They also sell a few very useful tools, not to mention some very nice figures (might I suggest the Monstrous Spider?)...

yes, that always surprises me...but who am i to complain?!

I've just found out that fresh ribbon format GS has been made (only 72 hours old as of last night) and I'm getting it shipped vie the expensive 3-5 day courier option for extra freshnessicity.( Don't want it sitting in nice warm rooms for three weeks whilst it goes regular mail, I'd rather pay more to get it faster...) Straight into the freezer when it arrives!

Check out the site in a couple of weeks time and there should be some on there.
