Here's a quick gore tutorial I've made, hope this helps someone

biodegradable materials = fail, but I like the effect. Perhaps if you subbed out flour with sand and rice crispies with little pebbles.

Dont listen to him. As long as you cover what you did with a varnish or watered Elmers glue to basically bind it all together, you wont run into any problems. I use sugar in basing my minis, and have used watered down elmers glue to hold it all together for years. Its readily available, and cheaper then buying craft sand. Never had ANY problems with it.


Gotta love when people talk about things they themselves have no experience with




Also could you get a pic that isnt SO close? Id like a better look at it, as it looks pretty good

Yeh the flours just a thickener for the glue to give it a meaty consistency it won't degrade just the same as the glue. I've glossed it once and will prob apply more coats after that, that gives it the shiny moist look and also seals and protects the whole thing. Invariably this was just a one minute experiment, hence why its on my primer cap. I could cut out the gore and glue it to a base as its solid now but as i now know the technique works I will just apply straight to bases/scenery .

This by all means is not a finished product, I just happened on something and thought I'd share it I'm gonna experiment with some body parts next. Thanks for the comments, all are productive
