Which is the best? Milliput is cheap as chips and greenstuff costs a bomb. What are the main differences between them? Which is best for sclupting? Can someone give me some advice thanks.

I feel its best to say what is one better used for than the other. Millput dries a lot harder whilst GS dries to a rubbery consistency.

Alot of sculptors used both. Sometimes separately, whilst sometimes mixing them together.

Some sculptors make rough shapes with millput and then mold detail (muscles and such) with GS.

Here's some sites explaining putty's.

Its a bit naughty as its from another forum but explains it really well.

Here's a PDF on sculpting http://www.miez.nl/putty-n-paint/tutes/sculpting_tut01.pdf

If your going to be general gap filling then i suppose go for the cheaper.


Slappy

Millput and Kneadite (greenstuff) have different yet similar uses.

Millput is better for harder more edge sculpting.

Kneadite is better for organic or highly detailed stuff.


My suggestion is if you doing big stuff or stuff that needs to be very solid then use millput, but if you need detail or a strong adhesion use green stuff.

Cheers for the info guys.

I find that Milliput is best for gap-filling and sculpting large, simple designs, while GS is best used for sculpting more complex patterns.
