Okay,so I had a bit of a nightmare and I think, while washing my demon prince sprue, I have accidentally thrown away the little hooves that attach to the legs (his feet essentially).

First thought was bits websites, but so far only legs and hooves for £5.00. Debating whether to just try and mould them out of green stuff, unless you guys have any ideas on what might be a suitable replacement?

You mean those claw feet?

Yeah, if I were you, I'd use a modelling putty and form the upside down vase shape of hooves. Completely solid, no detail. Once they dry, just slice slits in them, and viola! Cloven hooves.

You could try and position him like he's wading through water. So his feet are conceivably in the water?

Other than that I think going with just some green stuff hooves should be fine.

Cut the jets off some marine jet packs glue them on his feet and stick a clear rod on him. Now you have a boosted flying DP.

I had the same problem with a daemon prince I got with some other stuff off eBay.

At the time I had never used green stuff, but wanted to make hoves, just like suggested above.
It didn't turn out great, but not bad for a first go. Even though it's not painted, it should give you an idea.

One tip - green stuff is just plaster, it doesn't really act as glue or bear load.
Do yourself a favour and use some bits of sprue + plastic glue or metal pins + super glue to fix the model to the base before you start sculpting the hooves.

Thanks guys, I was debating the green stuff route, sounds like it might be the better option! I'll give it a bash once I get my hands on some GS.
