My first green

Nice mini!!!

I think that the hardest thing to sculp, is the face and hands!!!

DonÂ´t know why, but I canÂ´t get it to look right!!!!

I usually donÂ´t try to reinvent the wheel, so to speak!!

Often ending up with hands and heads glued on from other minis!!!

Keep up the good work!!!

You're right.., i think the face is the hardest thing to sculpt, is very small and very dificult to work..., i did it with a little pin..., and the result could be better

5 hours - Mr manic fingres. face looks great with the gormless eyes. I agree with the hand on ball comment though - can you spread fingers out a bit?

What a great result, I am trying my luck with greenstuff as well, but I have a hard time getting it smooth, yes I use water which hels a bit but not enough, any hints?

Mold stuff will be right on Friday, sure.

I really like it! Kind of an anime style!

No, I don't have any hint

..., I only use water, and yes, is very hard to get a smooth surface...

I haven't tried it, but i know that some sculptors use petroleum jelly instead of water..., you can try

body oil would be a good alternative. I use it and works good.

Thank you for the hints, I will try even harder.

Still a very nice job on that fig, one that I would like to add to my team if ever possible.

I have only bad experience with oil-based products. I use to rub the sculpting tool against my own nose. It works! Maybe try to buy some waterbased lubrication? In that case, dont try explain it to your pharmacist....

I don't know if that was supposed to be funny, but it totally was!

Have no hint

, because I donÂ´t use greenstuff at all!!!

I use Magic Sculp, licking my tools

, and for smooth surfaces
I use a mousterd (hell is that even a word

) brush!!!

Well, I wasnt trying to be funny with the nose thing! Your nose produces natural grease, and it doesnt ruin anything when it dries up. Oil based products have a tendency to stay oily. At least when I tried it.
