I am currently suffering from one of my ussual drops in attention span so the planned follow up to this and a bit of a p&m blog aswell is on hold untill I can get into it again.

**Dark Lord Seanron**

This thread has been so helpful ^^ awesome stuff

**Sadetta131**

after i read this article, i realized i've wasted so many green stuff because i didn't used a right tools to keep those putty in pace, and didn't thought about lubricate the blade.

**manbrodudelobster**

Where do you get tht clay not the greenstuff the thing on the tabard to start out with?

**Bruiant**

I think its milliput. Its not overly hard to come by, hobby stores may have it otherwise just search for retailers.

**whatwhat**

Bruiant is correct. It's Milliput, it's pretty handy as it sets harder. You can also file and drill it after it has set. You can also mix it with greenstuff to make it easier to sculpt with. Hobby stores may have it, I get it online.

**GreyKnightT9**

i have only just seen this its excellent and well done for winning the dakka thing and it works .

**calgarisgay**

this tut is f!@###% awesome

**whatwhat**

Ok, this isn't new. I orginally posted it here http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/242920.page I'm just putting it with this as It's kind of too short to be left on it's own and I'm going to just add the new tutorials I am making to the end of this thread to make one big thread with all the stuff in one place.

peace

Get some green stuff and flatten it...

Cut it into a square...

Poke holes in each corner to make a window shape...

Cut diagonaly into each corner and pull away (or don't if you want a square shape)...

Done. If you want to ad the gem, poke another hole in the middle and wait untill dry, then add a small ball of GS.

As you can see by the size of my finger tip in one of the photos this is a fairly small version, I have made larger versions with the same method however.

**warboss**

damn you, all i end up with after green stuffin' is more nurgle infested *fill in whatever i was actually trying to make here*. very nice work and instructions.

**Chi3f**

I was having a chat with some friends online and I sent them to this page and the tutorial was gone. Said it was deleted by poster. So that's when I commented. But seems like everything is back up so no prob

It's such a great tutorial that when people ask how to sculpt cloth I send them here and they get to see the rest of the goodies in this thread.

**abhorrious**

Awesome tutorial mate, thanks!

**binky**

Good job on the tutorial. I'm a total newb with the green stuff and am now way more interested in conversion. Do ya have any ideas for Daemons/CSM?

**whatwhat**

Well I have some nurgle stuff which will be in with an update I post in the new year.

Check my gallery, I green stuffed some mohawks on noise marines.

Got any tips on making banners/battle standards using GS?
