Im afraid to ask but....

is that a goatse goblin?

**Squig_herder**

Can we please have a clearer/sharpened photo of it, i cant make out what it is

**LunaHound**

is this it? or i just have a dirty mind xD

**bubber**

Still not that clear but in the past I have used blu-tak (used to stick posters to walls) then have coated the blu-tak with super glue then painted - worked a treat.

**Gitzbitah**

Luna, you've turned this thread into comedic genius with that diagram. Bravo!

More on topic, does play-doh really hold enough details for miniatures? I can see using this technique for a wall, movable hill or something along those lines, but I can't imagine play-doh being a precision medium. More pics!

**Vandez**

Thank you, LunaHound. My brain just imploded.

**Clang**

sounds perfect for a Nurgle Greater Demon which realistically disintegrates during a game - "That's another wound I've taken, so I'll just rip off another limb"

**enmitee**

jesus christ. even with a diagram, i still cant see the goblin or whatever you thought play doh could be. sorry.

**insaniak**

The glue coating will harden the surface, but it's not going to do anything for the middle. The dough there will still be soft once it's thawed out, so the mini will crush easily, and I would imagine that it would still dry out and crumble over time.

**em_en_oh_pee**

LunaHound, you are a hero for that.

**LunaHound**

^^; Just relieved that im not the only one that saw it ,
dont want to be crrrrazy :x

Goblin

I thought it was more like a snotling ( can you guess where the emphasis should be ?

) Sorry to sound so harsh, but I have seen better.

**MarvinGayeIsMyDaddy**

I assume it's a one eyed nurgling.

**Imperial**

I guess it is alright in a strange way. When I first started playing wargames I used my horrid blu tack beast like rhino headed tau and stuff like that it was fun for a while

**NAVARRO**

Sorry to say this but if your going to buy Playdoh! then spend gw expensive superglue covering everything and trash one brush in this process... (and i'm not even commenting the results) then its better to invest in GS in the first place.

I can see you had fun with it but I personally cant find your sugestion usefull, sorry.

**jabbakahut**

You're right, I don't believe it.

**Target**

Agree with Navarro.

Playdoh: 1-2 Dollars?
Super Glue: (You're coating it, say 20% of the bottle) 1
Elmers Glue: 1
Brush: (A very bad one) 1

You're at ~4 Dollars to make this model, maybe more like 2.50 if you keep in mind theres plenty of playdoh and elmers glue leftover.

1) The results are...well lets just say I don't see anything recognizable even as a shape in the photo.

2) Big tubes of green stuff are about 10 dollars and are plenty to do about 20 of that model. So I'd say, cheaper.

Interesting idea, but I can't see it being practical/worth it

Its not a goatse goblin (whatever that is), its a roper from D&D (Kind of like a living stalagtite) but it seems to be missing the tentacle arms. So play-doh can be used to make a blob? Truly remarkable!

**Orkeosaurus**

Perhaps a better demonstration of this technique's potential would be the sculpting of something that isn't supposed to look like a brown blob in the first place.

nO! THis is a Roper You have a dirty mind :s

It was just a last minute thing

**Belphegor**

I think you should post an additional, non-blurry picture.
I would like to see it with a bit more clarity.

When the picture is too blurry people will look at them like (Goatse) clouds.
Which, while awesome and hilarious, does not allow them to critique you work.

hehehe Goastse

**CSMSoule**

This was an old project guys....

**Joyous_Oblivion**

Well I know I won't begiving up GS for this 'miracle' cure, LOL

The play-doh guy is completley devoid of detail, and like Insaniak said, if anything lands on this with any force it will be smooshed flat.

Waaay to much effort for such mediocre result. GS will be more cost effective and by far more time effective.

Nice try though Ray, a good 'out-of'the-box' type idea...
