I need someone to point me in the direction of some good green stuff tutorials for noobs, when I say noobs I mean I just bought green stuff and I have no idea what to do with it. LOL Please help a fellow dakka'ite out please.

go over to the P&M blogs on dakkadakka and have a quick look. All I can tell you is be patient. I am not joking that you will spend somewhere near an hour working on a part (this includes waiting time)....good luck anyway.

To glimpse the future, you must look to the past and understand it. Names may change, but human behavior repeats itself. Prophetic insight is nothing more than profound hindsight.

It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from.

Work in layers & one part at a time.
If you try to do too much at once you'll either end up ruining the bit you're working on or putting a figure print on a part you've already finished.
Use colour / clay shapers - I use 'firm'.
Use water to help smooth bits out.
Look around for stuff that can be used for making textures - eg pins, both the pointy end end the other end.
Practice makes perfect. You're 1st effort is likely to be crap.
Get some sculpting tools - GW do one but there are so many other shapes and if you buy a set you will only just spend a little more than if you buy the GW one.
I don't know where you get stuff from in the US though - sorry.

Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!
