You want milliput because you can cut and file it afterwards. But mix it with a bit of greenstuff since it doesn't take shape to easily.

Flatten some out to the thickness of your weapon's blade. Wait for that to harden a little then get a knife point and carve the shape (ie and axe head, sword blade etc.) into that flat putty. Then you want to wait untill dry and hard then run the back side of a blade along the edge of the shape where you want a sharp edge, just like you would were you sharpening a real knife. Then you can add a haft, hilt etc. later.

Just wanted to say "thanks" for a great thread! As someone who's been playing and painting a long time but for whom scratchbuilding and modeling a things I've only recently been dabbling with... your original posts and the subsequent additions from other members have been extremely helpful. I look forward to learning more as time goes on.

Wish I could use green stuff properly

That looks amazing. Check out this article about what to do with your left over greenstuff! http://captureandcontrol.blogspot.com/2010/04/making-greenstuff-press-mold.html Thanks for this brilliant post, I will definitely make use of it on my Space Wolves.

That is BY FAR the best green stuff sculpting i have seen!!!

great tutorial. Helps a lot with camo cloaks.

Amazing Work.

Great tutorial. I certainly learned a few new tricks. Thanks for posting it.

Once you start working with the green stuff about how long dose it take from the moment you mix it up to dry and fully harden?

very useful tricks, thanks for sharing your skills.

Absolutely fantastic. Any advice on making Green Stuff molds?

I'd like to add my thanks to you for giving me a push in the right direction with sculpting, particularly the cloth and ropes.

I've just finished sculpting on a converted terminator captain for my marine army, and while I ended up using a different method for the robes, the twisted sausages of green stuff turned out excellent for the ropes.

So, once again, thanks, and keep up the amazing work!

Amazing stuff!! I can't get to grips with greenstuff, I dunno. I always find that its far too sticky for me to do anything with, and it seems to set far too quickly too! What's the secret?

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! This is just what I've been looking for! If you were near, I would buy you a cake.

Nice marine conversion, great sculpting work!

Dude, thats wicked.

Great tutorial.

excellent work learnt a lot here

Man sculpting is a hole new hobby on its own, I may have to go back to some of my custom models later and have some fun once I get a bit of practice in

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!

This kind of stuff is way beyond me

Very cool, I cannot wait to try this out. Would it work with BrownStuff?

I haven't used 'brownstuff' and a search I just did in google to find out what it is just gave me some very unpleasant results. ...so I don't know.

What is it?

Basically, it is another form of epoxy putty, though that is all I know, since I have never used Greenstuff.

That is AWESOME! Never Thought of Doing that!

Will Defiantly give that a try

I just found it online, it's kneadatite which is the exact same stuff as greenstuff, just a different colour. So yes you can use that.

Finally i found someone who knows an easy way to do it, by using your tips i was easily able to create robes that not only look good but make me impress my self. Thanks much for the awesome easy steps!

It's actually different. It sets much harder and I believe it has some form of aluminium in it so it can be used for hard edges easier than Greenstuff.

Incredibly useful tips, cheers. Went through all my WDs this morning, looking for some GS hair tips and found nowt, five minutes online and I'm brought here, perfect.
Soon my Telion/Cyrus will be complete! Mwahaha...

Fantastic Tips m8 I hope you post some more greenstuff tutorials

You truly have the talents to pay the balance!
